ClaudeOnRails: A framework for Ruby on Rails developers using Claude Code

A Rails development framework that leverages claude-swarm to create an intelligent team of AI agents specialized in different aspects of Rails development.

Instead of managing personas manually, ClaudeOnRails automatically orchestrates a swarm of specialized agents that work together like a real development team. Simply describe what you want to build, and the swarm handles the rest.

ClaudeOnRails creates a team of specialized AI agents:

• Architect: Coordinates development and makes high-level decisions
• Models: Handles ActiveRecord, migrations, and database design
• Controllers: Manages routing and request handling
• Views: Creates UI templates and manages assets
• Services: Implements business logic and service objects
• Tests: Ensures comprehensive test coverage
• DevOps: Handles deployment and infrastructure

Each agent works in their specific domain (directory) and can collaborate with other agents to implement complex features.

Add to your Rails application's Gemfile:

Then run:

This will:

• Analyze your Rails project structure
• Generate a customized swarm configuration
• Create agent-specific prompts
• Set up your development environment

Once the swarm is running, just describe what you want to build in the Claude interface:

The swarm automatically:

• Analyzes your request
• Delegates to appropriate specialists
• Implements across all layers (models, controllers, views, tests)
• Follows Rails best practices
• Ensures test coverage

When using AI assistants for Rails development, you typically need to:

• Manually coordinate different aspects of implementation
• Switch contexts between models, controllers, views, and tests
• Ensure consistency across different parts of your application
• Remember to implement tests, security, and performance considerations

With ClaudeOnRails, you simply describe what you want in natural language:

The swarm automatically:

• Creates models with proper validations and associations
• Implements controllers with authentication logic
• Builds views with forms and UI components
• Adds comprehensive test coverage
• Handles security considerations
• Optimizes database queries

All coordinated by specialized agents working together.

After running the generator, you'll have:

The generated claude-swarm.yml can be customized:

Customize agent behavior by editing prompts in .claude-on-rails/prompts/:

• Add project-specific conventions
• Include domain knowledge
• Define coding standards

• Automatic Agent Selection: No need to choose which persona to use
• Collaborative Implementation: Agents work together like a real team
• Rails-Aware: Deep understanding of Rails conventions and best practices
• Project Adaptation: Detects your project structure and adapts accordingly
• Test-Driven: Automatic test generation for all code
• Performance Focus: Built-in optimization capabilities

• Ruby 2.7+
• Rails 6.0+
• Claude Code CLI (npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code)
• claude_swarm gem (automatically installed as a dependency)

See the examples directory for:

• E-commerce platform development
• API-only applications
• Real-time features with Turbo/Stimulus
• Performance optimization workflows
