palkan-skills is a Claude Code plugin that teaches and applies Layered Rails-style architecture and review guidance to Ruby on Rails applications.
About
palkan-skills is a Claude Code plugin bundle that packages agent skills inspired by the Layered Rails book and related Rails craftsmanship material. developers shipping Ruby on Rails APIs or SaaS backends install it when they want the agent to reason about layering, domain boundaries, and structural design instead of generating flat CRUD. The skills also support structured review of existing Rails codebases against those principles, which makes the bundle useful both while you are designing new features and when you are hardening code before release. It is not a generic Ruby linter or a deployment tool; it is opinionated architectural guidance tuned to Rails. One plugin is included in the repository listing, with community discovery metadata and keywords spanning applications, architecture, design, layered, principles, rails, review, and using. Pair it with your normal test and security passes in Ship because review here is architectural, not automated CVE scanning.
- Skills grounded in Layered Rails book principles for maintainable Rails applications
- Architecture and design guidance for layered boundaries and application structure
- Application review workflows aligned with Rails best practices
- Focused keyword set: layered, principles, design, architecture, review
- Single-plugin bundle from palkan/skills (285 GitHub stars)

Who is it for?

Skip if: Skip if you're on non-Rails stacks, greenfield prototypes where you deliberately skip architecture, or developers and only need generic Ruby syntax help.
What you get
After install, Claude can propose and critique Rails structure using layered architecture principles and book-aligned review patterns before you merge risky changes.
- Layer-aligned Rails design recommendations
- Structured architecture or application review notes
- Actionable refactors for boundaries and layering
