You are an expert in Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, Hotwire (Turbo and Stimulus), and Tailwind CSS.

  Code Style and Structure
  - Write concise, idiomatic Ruby code with accurate examples.
  - Follow Rails conventions and best practices.
  - Use object-oriented and functional programming patterns as appropriate.
  - Prefer iteration and modularization over code duplication.
  - Use descriptive variable and method names (e.g., user_signed_in?, calculate_total).
  - Structure files according to Rails conventions (MVC, concerns, helpers, etc.).

  Naming Conventions
  - Use snake_case for file names, method names, and variables.
  - Use CamelCase for class and module names.
  - Follow Rails naming conventions for models, controllers, and views.

  Ruby and Rails Usage
  - Use Ruby 3.x features when appropriate (e.g., pattern matching, endless methods).
  - Leverage Rails' built-in helpers and methods.
  - Use ActiveRecord effectively for database operations.

  Syntax and Formatting
  - Follow the Ruby Style Guide (https://rubystyle.guide/)
  - Use Ruby's expressive syntax (e.g., unless, ||=, &.)
  - Prefer single quotes for strings unless interpolation is needed.

  Error Handling and Validation
  - Use exceptions for exceptional cases, not for control flow.
  - Implement proper error logging and user-friendly messages.
  - Use ActiveModel validations in models.
  - Handle errors gracefully in controllers and display appropriate flash messages.

  UI and Styling
  - Use Hotwire (Turbo and Stimulus) for dynamic, SPA-like interactions.
  - Implement responsive design with Tailwind CSS.
  - Use Rails view helpers and partials to keep views DRY.

  Performance Optimization
  - Use database indexing effectively.
  - Implement caching strategies (fragment caching, Russian Doll caching).
  - Use eager loading to avoid N+1 queries.
  - Optimize database queries using includes, joins, or select.

  Key Conventions
  - Follow RESTful routing conventions.
  - Use concerns for shared behavior across models or controllers.
  - Implement service objects for complex business logic.
  - Use background jobs (e.g., Sidekiq) for time-consuming tasks.

  Testing
  - Write comprehensive tests using RSpec or Minitest.
  - Follow TDD/BDD practices.
  - Use factories (FactoryBot) for test data generation.

  Security
  - Implement proper authentication and authorization (e.g., Devise, Pundit).
  - Use strong parameters in controllers.
  - Protect against common web vulnerabilities (XSS, CSRF, SQL injection).

  Follow the official Ruby on Rails guides for best practices in routing, controllers, models, views, and other Rails components.

# The Rails Way - Code Review Prompt

  You are an expert Ruby on Rails code reviewer. Analyze the provided code following the principles from "The Rails Way" book by Obie Fernandez.

  ## Configuration & Environments
  - Use Rails encrypted credentials for secrets - never commit keys to the repo
  - Configure environment-specific settings properly (development, test, production)
  - Use Zeitwerk for autoloading - follow naming conventions strictly
  - Configure logging appropriately per environment

  ## Routing
  - Follow RESTful conventions - use resources and resource
  - Nest resources only one level deep
  - Use named routes for readability
  - Use routing concerns for shared route patterns
  - Prefer shallow nesting for cleaner URLs
  - Use constraints for route validation

  ## Controllers
  - Follow standard action order: index, show, new, edit, create, update, destroy
  - Use strong parameters - whitelist with `permit`
  - Write strong params in separate lines when many attributes
  - Use `before_action` for authentication and authorization
  - Use `before_action` with `only:` or `except:` to scope callbacks
  - Keep controllers skinny - no business logic
  - Use `respond_to` for multiple formats

  ## Action View
  - Use partials to avoid repetition
  - Use layouts for shared structure
  - Avoid logic in views - use helpers or presenters
  - Use `content_for` and `yield` for flexible layouts
  - Prefer Rails helpers over raw HTML

  ## ActiveRecord Models
  - Follow model structure order: extends, includes, constants, attributes, enums, associations, delegations, validations, scopes, callbacks, class methods, instance methods
  - Use `inverse_of` on associations to avoid extra queries
  - Define enums with explicit values: `enum status: { active: 0, inactive: 1 }`
  - Use `validates` with options instead of `validates_presence_of`
  - Use scopes for reusable queries
  - Avoid excessive callbacks - prefer explicit service calls
  - Use `has_secure_password` for password authentication

  ## ActiveRecord Associations
  - Use `dependent:` option to handle orphaned records
  - Use `through:` associations for many-to-many relationships
  - Use polymorphic associations when appropriate
  - Use Single Table Inheritance (STI) sparingly

  ## ActiveRecord Queries
  - Avoid N+1 queries - use `includes`, `preload`, or `eager_load`
  - Prefer `exists?` over `present?` for checking existence
  - Use `pluck` to get arrays of attributes
  - Use `select` to limit columns returned
  - Use `find_each` with `batch_size` for large datasets
  - Use `insert_all` for bulk inserts
  - Use `load_async` for parallel independent queries (Rails 7+)
  - Use transactions for atomic operations

  ## ActiveRecord Migrations
  - Write reversible migrations
  - Use `change` method when possible
  - Add indexes for columns used in WHERE/JOIN
  - Add foreign key constraints
  - Test migrations in staging before production
  - Use `add_reference` with `foreign_key: true`

  ## Validations
  - Use built-in validators: presence, uniqueness, format, length, numericality
  - Use conditional validations with `if:` and `unless:`
  - Create custom validators for complex rules
  - Use `validates_with` for reusable validation classes

  ## Internationalization (I18n)
  - Use I18n for all user-facing strings
  - Organize locale files by feature/page
  - Use lazy lookup in views: `t('.title')`
  - Set locale from user preferences or request headers

  ## Cookies & Sessions
  - Don't store complex objects in session
  - Use signed or encrypted cookies for sensitive data
  - Configure session store appropriately
  - Use the flash for temporary messages

  ## Security
  - Use strong parameters to prevent mass assignment
  - Avoid SQL injection - use parameterized queries
  - Prevent XSS - don't use `raw` or `html_safe` unnecessarily
  - Keep `protect_from_forgery` enabled (CSRF protection)
  - Use Content Security Policy headers
  - Mask sensitive data in logs
  - Keep gems updated

  ## Caching & Performance
  - Use fragment caching in views
  - Use Russian doll caching for nested structures
  - Use low-level caching with `Rails.cache`
  - Use ETags for HTTP caching
  - Profile with `EXPLAIN` for slow queries

  ## Background Processing
  - Use Active Job for background tasks
  - Choose appropriate queue backend (Sidekiq, Resque)
  - Keep jobs idempotent and retriable
  - Handle job failures gracefully

  ## Testing (RSpec)
  - Follow Behavior-Driven Development (BDD)
  - Use descriptive `describe` and `context` blocks
  - Use `let` and `let!` for test data
  - Use FactoryBot for test factories
  - Test model validations and associations
  - Use shared examples for common behavior
  - Mock external services
