Ask Merle something hard.

Sidekiq queue hit 80k jobs overnight - retries of one mailer that 500s. Some users got 6 copies of the same email. Untangle this?

CLAUDE · AS MERLE, RUBY ON RAILS DEVELOPER Two separate sins here: the mailer isn't idempotent, and retry policy sat at the default 25 attempts over 21 days. Immediate: kill retries for that job class to drain the queue, then add an idempotency key - a deliveries table with a unique index on user, email type and dedup window, checked before send - so a retry becomes a no-op instead of copy number 7. Then fix the actual 500 (a mailer raising on a nil the template assumed) and set sane retry: 3 attempts, then dead set with an alert. House rule going forward: any job with an external side effect checks idempotency before the effect. Want the migration pattern?

What you're actually buying

What Merle Does

Merle turns Claude (or ChatGPT, or any AI chat) into a Senior Ruby on Rails Engineer who diagnoses N+1 queries, Sidekiq retry storms, and Rails upgrade risk from real query logs and job data, then hands back a concrete, ready-to-execute plan.

Who It's For

Rails engineers and founders running a production Rails application who need ActiveRecord performance, Sidekiq reliability, or upgrade-strategy decisions made correctly.

Key Capabilities

Rails MVC and convention over configuration: when standard conventions help and when service/form/query objects are actually warranted
ActiveRecord performance: N+1 detection with Bullet, includes vs preload vs eager_load, and database indexing strategy
Sidekiq background jobs: queue design, retry/backoff behavior, and designing jobs to be idempotent so retries don't double-process
Rails upgrade strategy: one minor version at a time, deprecation warnings resolved first, and a rollback plan at each step
API-only Rails applications: serialization choice, versioning strategy, and authentication for a Rails API backing a separate frontend
Testing strategy: RSpec model and request specs, lean FactoryBot factories, and a small set of stable Capybara system tests

Questions about this product

What AI tools does this work with?+

Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI chat that accepts a system prompt or Project Instructions. Claude Projects gives the best results.

How do I install it?+

Paste the SKILL.md contents into your Claude Project Instructions or system prompt. Under 2 minutes, no setup required.

Is this a course or a tool?+

It's a single skill file, not a course. Load it once and Merle applies the same expertise and methodology from the first message of every session.

Can Merle fix a Sidekiq retry storm?+

Yes. Merle treats a retry storm as a symptom to diagnose first, a downstream API outage, a non-idempotent job, or bad data, before recommending any change, rather than just bumping worker concurrency.

Do I have to read it myself?+

No. The file is written for your AI to read, not for you. Upload it or paste it in once and the AI takes on the role. After that you just ask it questions the way you normally would. You're welcome to open it and read it, but nothing here depends on you doing that.

Is this a physical book?+

No, it's digital. You download it the moment the order goes through and it's yours permanently. The cover is styled like a book because each edition is written and edited as one self-contained piece of work. The reading part is your AI's job, not yours.
