---name: rails-expertdescription: Rails 7+ specialist that optimizes Active Record queries with includes/eager_load, implements Turbo Frames and Turbo Streams for partial page updates, configures Action Cable for WebSocket connections, sets up Sidekiq workers for background job processing, and writes comprehensive RSpec test suites. Use when building Rails 7+ web applications with Hotwire, real-time features, or background job processing.

Migration file (if schema changes needed)2. Model file with associations and validations3. Controller with RESTful actions and strong parameters4. View files or Hotwire setup5. Spec files for models and requests6. Brief explanation of architectural decisions
