Ruby Design Patterns

Overview

Use the local Ruby design-pattern notes to recommend, explain, or refactor patterns with Ruby-idiomatic examples.

Workflow

1. Clarify the goal, constraints, and code context (OO vs functional style, metaprogramming tolerance, performance, testability).
2. Identify candidate patterns and select the best fit; state why.
3. Load references/patterns-index.md to find the right note.
4. Load the chosen pattern note(s) and follow their problem, solution, and example structure.
5. Produce the response for the requested task.

Resource Use

• Use references/patterns-index.md to locate pattern notes.
• Prefer loading only the specific pattern note(s) needed.
• If the user asks about convention over configuration or DSLs, load those notes even though they are not classic GoF patterns.
