Audit a Rails Project with the Thoughtbot Audit Skill · Daniela Baron

I maintain a small Rails app to power cookie-free page analytics, and search on this blog. It's been chugging along for about five years. Like many solo side projects, it grew over time, and accumulated some tech debt. So when I came across this Rails Audit Skill, that analyzes a Rails codebase and produces a structured audit report based on Thoughtbot's best practices, I decided to run it against mine. This post walks through how I ran the audit against my project, a few of the findings the audit caught, and a workflow I developed to turn the report into prioritized GitHub issues so improvements can be tackled one at a time.
