Our review
High-level guide for working with Plutonium applications, read this first.
Strengths
- Structured introduction to key Plutonium concepts
- Quick reference to generators and resource architecture
- Links to more specific skills
Limitations
- Does not contain detailed implementation specifics
- Assumes prior knowledge of Ruby on Rails
When starting a new Plutonium project or needing an overview of the architecture.
If you need detailed instructions on a specific feature (e.g., field configuration) - refer to the dedicated skill instead.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill provides guidance for development with Plutonium, including standard Rails generator commands. There are no destructive, exfiltrating, or obfuscated actions. Commands are typical development tasks and do not involve risky patterns like piping to shell, deleting files, or disabling safety.

Examples
I'm starting a new Plutonium project. Give me an overview of the framework's architecture and the key generators I should use.Explain how to create a new resource in Plutonium, including the four layers (model, definition, policy, controller) and which generators to use.What are the available Plutonium skills? I need to understand how to configure fields for a definition.name: plutonium description: High-level guide for working with Plutonium applications - read this first
Plutonium Development Guide
Read this first when working on a Plutonium application.
Core Rules
- Always use generators - Never manually create resources, packages, or portals
- Check relevant skills first - Each concept has a dedicated skill with details
- Definitions over controllers - UI customization belongs in definitions, not controllers
- Policies for authorization - All permission logic goes in policies
Key Generators
rails g pu:res:scaffold Post title:string --dest=main_app # Create resource
rails g pu:res:conn Post --dest=admin_portal # Connect to portal
rails g pu:pkg:package blogging # Create feature package
rails g pu:pkg:portal admin_portal # Create portal
Always specify --dest to avoid interactive prompts.
Resource Architecture
A resource has four layers:
| Layer | Purpose | Customize when... | |-------|---------|-------------------| | Model | Data, validations, associations | Adding business logic | | Definition | UI - fields, actions, filters | Changing how things look/behave | | Policy | Authorization - who can do what | Restricting access | | Controller | Request handling | Rarely - use hooks if needed |
