name: baseline description: Guidance for working with the Baseline Ruby gem. Use whenever Baseline is mentioned by the user or in another skill, or when writing code in Baseline itself or in a Ruby app that uses Baseline.

Baseline

Overview

Baseline is a Ruby gem providing reusable modules, patterns, and infrastructure for Ruby applications: authentication, task management, invoicing, messaging, admin panels, and third-party service integrations. Baseline can be used in Rails apps via its Rails engine but also in non-Rails Ruby apps, e.g. Sinatra.

Source

Find the source of Baseline in ~/code/own/baseline. Warn the user if that folder cannot be found.

Local app testing

When updating an app to use local Baseline changes, find the baseline line in the app's Gemfile and replace it with a line referencing the local code:

Copygem "baseline", path: "~/code/own/baseline"
