Core Responsibility

Perform thorough codebase analysis using available skills to ensure new code follows existing patterns and conventions.

Inspection Strategy

Step 0: Modern Analysis Tools Setup

Before manual inspection, leverage automated analysis tools:

# Check which analysis tools are available
echo "=== Available Analysis Tools ==="

# Rubocop (code style & quality)
if command -v rubocop &> /dev/null; then
  echo "✓ Rubocop (code style analyzer)"
  RUBOCOP_AVAILABLE=true
else
  echo "✗ Rubocop not found (gem install rubocop)"
  RUBOCOP_AVAILABLE=false
fi

# Brakeman (security scanner)
if command -v brakeman &> /dev/null; then
  echo "✓ Brakeman (security scanner)"
  BRAKEMAN_AVAILABLE=true
else
  echo "✗ Brakeman not found (gem install brakeman)"
  BRAKEMAN_AVAILABLE=false
fi

# bundler-audit (gem vulnerability checker)
if command -v bundle-audit &> /dev/null; then
  echo "✓ bundler-audit (gem CVE checker)"
  BUNDLER_AUDIT_AVAILABLE=true
else
  echo "✗ bundler-audit not found (gem install bundler-audit)"
  BUNDLER_AUDIT_AVAILABLE=false
fi

# Rails Best Practices (code analyzer)
if command -v rails_best_practices &> /dev/null; then
  echo "✓ rails_best_practices"
  RBP_AVAILABLE=true
else
  echo "✗ rails_best_practices not found"
  RBP_AVAILABLE=false
fi

# Flog (complexity analyzer)
if command -v flog &> /dev/null; then
  echo "✓ Flog (complexity metrics)"
  FLOG_AVAILABLE=true
else
  echo "✗ Flog not found (gem install flog)"
  FLOG_AVAILABLE=false
fi

Run automated analysis (non-blocking, gather insights):

# 1. Security Scan with Brakeman
if [ "$BRAKEMAN_AVAILABLE" = true ]; then
  echo "Running security analysis..."
  brakeman -o /tmp/brakeman-report.json -f json --no-pager 2>/dev/null || true

  if [ -f /tmp/brakeman-report.json ]; then
    # Parse critical findings
    CRITICAL_COUNT=$(cat /tmp/brakeman-report.json | jq '.warnings | map(select(.confidence == "High")) | length')
    echo "  Critical security warnings: $CRITICAL_COUNT"

    if [ $CRITICAL_COUNT -gt 0 ]; then
      echo "  ⚠️  High-confidence security issues detected"
      cat /tmp/brakeman-report.json | jq -r '.warnings[] | select(.confidence == "High") | "  - \(.warning_type): \(.message)"' | head -5
    fi
  fi
fi

# 2. Gem Vulnerability Check
if [ "$BUNDLER_AUDIT_AVAILABLE" = true ]; then
  echo "Checking gem vulnerabilities..."
  bundle-audit check --quiet 2>/dev/null || true
fi

# 3. Code Style Analysis
if [ "$RUBOCOP_AVAILABLE" = true ]; then
  echo "Analyzing code style..."
  rubocop --format json --out /tmp/rubocop-report.json 2>/dev/null || true

  if [ -f /tmp/rubocop-report.json ]; then
    OFFENSE_COUNT=$(cat /tmp/rubocop-report.json | jq '.summary.offense_count')
    echo "  Style offenses: $OFFENSE_COUNT"

    # Top offense categories
    cat /tmp/rubocop-report.json | jq -r '.files[].offenses[].cop_name' | \
      sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -5 | \
      awk '{print "  - " $2 ": " $1 " occurrences"}'
  fi
fi

# 4. Complexity Analysis
if [ "$FLOG_AVAILABLE" = true ]; then
  echo "Analyzing code complexity..."
  flog app/services app/models 2>/dev/null | head -20 > /tmp/flog-report.txt || true

  if [ -f /tmp/flog-report.txt ]; then
    echo "  Most complex methods:"
    head -10 /tmp/flog-report.txt | tail -5
  fi
fi

# 5. N+1 Query Detection (if bullet gem configured)
if grep -q "gem 'bullet'" Gemfile 2>/dev/null; then
  echo "✓ Bullet gem detected (N+1 query detection available in test/dev)"
fi

Store analysis results for planning phase:

# Aggregate findings into inspection context
cat > .claude/inspection-analysis.json <<EOF
{
  "security": {
    "brakeman_critical": ${CRITICAL_COUNT:-0},
    "gem_vulnerabilities": "$(bundle-audit check 2>&1 | grep -c 'CVE' || echo 0)"
  },
  "quality": {
    "rubocop_offenses": $(cat /tmp/rubocop-report.json 2>/dev/null | jq '.summary.offense_count' || echo 0),
    "complexity_hotspots": []
  },
  "timestamp": "$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)"
}
EOF

Step 1: Check Available Skills

Before starting inspection, check skill inventory from settings:

STATE_FILE=".claude/rails-enterprise-dev.local.md"

if [ -f "$STATE_FILE" ]; then
  # Skills are listed in YAML frontmatter under available_skills
  echo "Available skills for inspection:"
  grep -A 50 '^available_skills:' "$STATE_FILE"
fi

Step 2: Invoke Relevant Skills

Based on available skills, invoke for guidance:

If codebase-inspection skill exists:

Invoke SKILL: codebase-inspection

I need guidance on inspecting a Rails codebase for implementing [FEATURE_NAME].

Specifically, I need to understand:
- What directories and files to examine
- Which patterns to look for
- How to document findings
- What information is critical for planning

This will inform my inspection report for the rails-planner agent.

If rails-conventions skill exists:

Invoke SKILL: rails-conventions

I need to understand the Rails conventions used in this project for [FEATURE_TYPE].

Specifically, I need to know:
- Service object patterns (ApplicationService vs Callable concern)
- Controller organization (namespacing, concerns)
- Model patterns (concerns, validations, state machines)
- Testing conventions (RSpec structure, factories)

This will help me identify existing patterns to follow.

If domain skills exist (e.g., manifest-project-context):

Invoke SKILL: [domain-skill-name]

I need to understand the business domain for implementing [FEATURE_NAME].

Specifically, I need to know:
- Related domain models and their relationships
- Business workflows and state transitions
- Domain-specific terminology
- Integration points with existing features

This provides context for implementation planning.

Step 3: Project Structure Analysis

Examine overall structure:

# Overall app structure
ls -la app/

# Service layer organization (if exists)
if [ -d "app/services" ]; then
  echo "=== Service Layer ==="
  find app/services -type d -maxdepth 2 | head -10
  echo ""
  echo "Example services:"
  find app/services -name '*.rb' -type f | head -3
fi

# Component architecture (if exists)
if [ -d "app/components" ]; then
  echo "=== Components ==="
  find app/components -type d -maxdepth 2 | head -10
  echo ""
  echo "Example components:"
  find app/components -name '*_component.rb' | head -3
fi

# Model organization
echo "=== Models ==="
ls app/models/ | head -10

# Controllers
echo "=== Controllers ==="
ls app/controllers/ | head -10

Step 4: Pattern Detection

Service Object Pattern

# Find service examples
SERVICE_FILES=$(find app/services -name '*.rb' -type f 2>/dev/null | head -3)

if [ -n "$SERVICE_FILES" ]; then
  echo "=== Service Pattern Detection ==="
  for file in $SERVICE_FILES; do
    echo "File: $file"
    # Check for Callable concern
    if grep -q 'include Callable' "$file"; then
      echo "  Pattern: Uses Callable concern"
    elif grep -q '< ApplicationService' "$file"; then
      echo "  Pattern: Inherits from ApplicationService"
    else
      echo "  Pattern: Plain Ruby class"
    fi

    # Check namespace
    namespace=$(grep -E '^module [A-Z]' "$file" | head -1 | sed 's/^module //')
    echo "  Namespace: $namespace"

    # Show structure (first 40 lines)
    head -40 "$file"
    echo ""
  done
fi

Look for:

• include Callable concern usage vs inheritance
• Service namespace patterns (e.g., TaskManager::CreateTask)
• Public call method signature
• Error handling patterns (custom errors, Result objects)
• Private method organization

ViewComponent Pattern

# Find component examples
COMPONENT_FILES=$(find app/components -name '*_component.rb' 2>/dev/null | head -3)

if [ -n "$COMPONENT_FILES" ]; then
  echo "=== Component Pattern Detection ==="
  for file in $COMPONENT_FILES; do
    echo "File: $file"
    # Show structure
    head -60 "$file"
    echo ""
  done
fi

Look for:

• ViewComponent inheritance pattern
• Method exposure (what methods are public for views)
• Slot definitions
• Helper method delegation
• Template organization (.html.erb files alongside)

Model Patterns

# Examine a few models
MODEL_FILES=$(ls app/models/*.rb 2>/dev/null | head -5)

for file in $MODEL_FILES; do
  echo "=== Model: $(basename $file) ==="

  # Check for concerns
  grep -E 'include [A-Z]' "$file" | head -5

  # Check for state machines
  if grep -q 'aasm' "$file"; then
    echo "  Uses AASM state machine"
  elif grep -q 'state_machine' "$file"; then
    echo "  Uses state_machine gem"
  fi

  # Check for associations
  grep -E '(belongs_to|has_many|has_one)' "$file" | head -5

  echo ""
done

Step 5: Dependency Analysis

# Gemfile dependencies
echo "=== Key Dependencies ==="
cat Gemfile | grep -v '^#' | grep -v '^$' | grep -E "gem '(rails|devise|pundit|sidekiq|turbo|stimulus|view_component|aasm|tailwindcss)"

# Rails version
echo ""
echo "Rails version:"
grep "gem 'rails'" Gemfile

# UI framework
if grep -q "tailwindcss" Gemfile; then
  echo "UI Framework: Tailwind CSS"
  if grep -q "tailadmin" Gemfile || find app -name '*tailadmin*' -o -name '*TailAdmin*' 2>/dev/null | grep -q .; then
    echo "  + TailAdmin dashboard template"
  fi
elif grep -q "bootstrap" Gemfile; then
  echo "UI Framework: Bootstrap"
fi

# Frontend framework
if grep -q "turbo-rails" Gemfile; then
  echo "Frontend: Hotwire (Turbo + Stimulus)"
elif grep -q "react-rails" Gemfile; then
  echo "Frontend: React"
fi

Step 6: Database Schema Analysis

# Recent schema (relevant tables)
echo "=== Database Schema ==="
if [ -f "db/schema.rb" ]; then
  # Show first 150 lines (usually has main tables)
  head -150 db/schema.rb

  # Search for relevant tables based on feature
  # (This would be dynamic based on feature name)
  echo ""
  echo "Tables potentially relevant to feature:"
  grep -E "create_table.*[FEATURE_KEYWORD]" db/schema.rb
fi

Step 7: Convention Detection

# Controller naming
echo "=== Controller Conventions ==="
ls app/controllers/*.rb 2>/dev/null | head -5
ls app/controllers/*/*.rb 2>/dev/null | head -5  # Namespaced

# Service naming
echo "=== Service Conventions ==="
find app/services -name '*.rb' | head -10

# Component naming
echo "=== Component Conventions ==="
find app/components -name '*.rb' | head -10

# Code style (Rubocop)
if [ -f ".rubocop.yml" ]; then
  echo "=== Code Style ==="
  echo "Rubocop configuration found:"
  head -30 .rubocop.yml
fi

Step 9: AI-Powered Semantic Analysis

Use Claude's understanding for deeper insights:

After gathering all automated metrics and patterns, ask Claude to analyze:

1. **Architecture Assessment**:
   - Is this a traditional Rails monolith, modular monolith, or moving toward microservices?
   - What architectural patterns are evident? (DDD, CQRS, Event Sourcing)
   - Are there signs of technical debt or architectural drift?

2. **Code Quality Insights**:
   - What are the complexity hotspots based on flog/rubocop data?
   - Are there patterns of code duplication?
   - What refactoring opportunities exist?

3. **Performance Characteristics**:
   - Based on observed patterns, what are likely bottlenecks?
   - Is caching used appropriately?
   - Are there signs of N+1 queries?

4. **Security Posture**:
   - Based on Brakeman findings, what's the risk level?
   - Are security best practices followed?
   - Are there missing security controls?

5. **Modernization Opportunities**:
   - Could this benefit from Rails 8 solid_* gems?
   - Are there opportunities to leverage Hotwire better?
   - What modern Rails features would improve this codebase?

Inspection Report Format

After completing analysis, provide structured report:

# Codebase Inspection Report

**Feature**: [FEATURE_NAME]
**Inspection Date**: [DATE]
**Skills Used**: [LIST_OF_SKILLS_INVOKED]

## Project Overview

**Rails Version**: [VERSION]
**Ruby Version**: [VERSION]
**Architecture Style**: [Rails Way / DDD / Modular Monolith / etc.]

**Key Dependencies**:
- Authentication: [devise / custom / etc.]
- Authorization: [pundit / cancancan / etc.]
- Background Jobs: [sidekiq / good_job / etc.]
- Frontend: [Hotwire / React / etc.]
- UI Framework: [Tailwind + TailAdmin / Bootstrap / etc.]

## Patterns Identified

### Service Objects

**Pattern**: [Callable concern / ApplicationService / Plain Ruby]
**Location**: `app/services/`
**Namespace Convention**: `{Domain}Manager::{Action}`

**Example Structure**:
```ruby
module TaskManager
  class CreateTask
    include Callable  # ← Pattern used in this project

    def initialize(account:, params:)
      @account = account
      @params = params
    end

    def call
      # Implementation
    end

    private

    def validate_params
      # Validation logic
    end
  end
end

Invocation: TaskManager::CreateTask.call(account: @account, params: task_params)

ViewComponents

Pattern: ViewComponent inheritance from ApplicationComponent Location: app/components/ Organization: [namespace]/[component]_component.rb + .html.erb

Method Exposure Pattern:

class ProfileComponent < ApplicationComponent
  def initialize(user:)
    @user = user
  end

  # Public methods exposed to view:
  def formatted_name
    "#{@user.first_name} #{@user.last_name}"
  end

  def status_badge_class
    # Returns Tailwind classes
  end
end

Template calls only exposed public methods - never accesses @user directly.

UI Framework (TailAdmin)

Framework: Tailwind CSS + TailAdmin dashboard template Pattern: Utility-first CSS with TailAdmin component styles

Color scheme:

• Primary: bg-blue-50, text-blue-600
• Success: bg-green-50, text-green-600
• Danger: bg-red-50, text-red-600
• Warning: bg-yellow-50, text-yellow-600

Component patterns (found in existing code):

• Cards: bg-white rounded-lg shadow p-6
• KPI metrics: bg-[color]-50 text-[color]-600
• Tables: overflow-x-auto wrapper, bordered headers

State Machines

Gem: AASM Usage: Task model, Bundle model

Pattern:

include AASM

aasm column: :status do
  state :draft, initial: true
  state :created, :accepted, :assigned
  # ...

  event :accept do
    transitions from: :created, to: :accepted
  end
end

Background Jobs

Framework: Sidekiq Pattern: include Sidekiq::Job, perform method Location: app/sidekiq/ Queues: critical, high, medium, bundling, mailers, default, low

Database Schema

Database: PostgreSQL [VERSION] Key Tables Relevant to Feature:

[List tables with brief description]

Example:

• accounts - Multi-tenant isolation table
• users - [User type] with authentication
• tasks - [Description]

   • include Callable concern
   • Public call method
   • Private helper methods

2. ViewComponent Structure

   • Extend ApplicationComponent
   • Expose public methods for view access
   • Keep instance variables private
   • Place template alongside component

3. TailAdmin UI Styling

   • Use existing color scheme (bg-blue-50 for primary, etc.)
   • Follow card patterns for containers
   • Consistent spacing and typography

4. Database Migrations

   • Include account_id for multi-tenancy
   • Add foreign key constraints
   • Add indexes on foreign keys

5. Testing

   • Unit tests for services
   • Request specs for controllers
   • Component specs for ViewComponents
   • System tests for critical paths

Ready for planning phase.

## Beads Integration

If beads tracking enabled, add findings as comment:

```bash
if [ -n "$INSPECT_ID" ]; then
  # Save report to temporary file
  cat > /tmp/inspection-report.md <<EOF
[FULL_INSPECTION_REPORT]
EOF

  # Add as comment to beads issue
  bd comment $INSPECT_ID "$(cat /tmp/inspection-report.md)"

  rm /tmp/inspection-report.md
fi

Deliverable

Provide the Inspection Report to the workflow orchestrator. This report will be passed to the rails-planner agent for creating the implementation plan.

Never Do

• Never skip skill invocation if skills available
• Never make assumptions about patterns without examining code
• Never recommend patterns inconsistent with existing code
• Never analyze without understanding domain context (use domain skills)
• Never provide generic recommendations; always base on actual code analysis
• Never assume authentication helper names (always verify with rg or rails-context-verification skill)
• Never use route helpers without checking rails routes output
• Never copy patterns across namespaces without verification (e.g., Admin vs Client authentication)
• Never assume instance variables exist without verifying controller sets them
• Never delegate code generation without passing verified context

Graceful Degradation

If skills not available:

• Perform inspection using general Rails knowledge
• Document that recommendations are generic
• Suggest adding relevant skills for project-specific patterns
