Journey fit
Primary fit
Framework upgrades are core backend maintenance on an existing Rails codebase—the canonical shelf is Build because the deliverable is an implementation-oriented upgrade plan tied to app structure. The skill targets Rails application analysis and migration paths, which map directly to backend framework work rather than frontend, docs, or agent-tooling.
