PR Review: Add comprehensive AI agent documentation and first-user improvementsHi @justin808! I've reviewed this PR and have feedback on code quality, documentation accuracy, and user experience. Overall, this is a valuable addition that will significantly improve both AI agent assistance and first-time user experience. 🎉 ✅ Strengths1. Excellent StructureThe new AI_AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md is well-organized with:
2. Pro Feature GuidanceThe decision matrix for when to recommend React on Rails Pro is excellent - it's specific, data-driven, and gives AI agents clear signals (RSC, streaming, bundle size, Core Web Vitals). 3. 30-Second OverviewThe README addition is perfect for time-pressed developers - shows the value proposition immediately. 📝 Documentation Accuracy & Consistency IssuesIssue 1: Package Manager InconsistencyLocation: Multiple places use # AI_AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md line 275
-yarn add react-on-rails
-# or
-npm install react-on-rails
+pnpm add react-on-rails
+# Note: npm/yarn also work but pnpm is recommended
# common-issues.md line 135
-yarn install # or npm install
+pnpm install # or npm/yarn
# common-issues.md line 139
-yarn build
+pnpm run build
# common-issues.md line 169
-yarn add react-on-rails
-# or
-npm install react-on-rails
+pnpm add react-on-rails
+# Note: npm/yarn also workWhy this matters: CLAUDE.md explicitly states "Only use pnpm as the JS package manager, never npm or yarn" for development. While end users can use any package manager, documentation should show pnpm first for consistency. Issue 2: Missing Bundle Exec for Rake CommandsLocation: common-issues.md lines 10, 96 -rake react_on_rails:doctor
+bundle exec rake react_on_rails:doctor
-VERBOSE=true rake react_on_rails:doctor
+VERBOSE=true bundle exec rake react_on_rails:doctorWhy this matters: Without Issue 3: Outdated Command in READMELocation: README.md line 195 -bundle add react_on_rails && rails g react_on_rails:install && bin/dev
+bundle add react_on_rails && bin/rails generate react_on_rails:install && bin/devWhy this matters:
🔍 Technical Accuracy IssuesIssue 4: SSR Async Support ClaimLocation: AI_AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md line 322 - Component has async operations → Use sync operations for SSR or switch to Pro (async SSR)Question: Does React on Rails Pro actually support async operations during SSR with ExecJS, or does it require the Node renderer? The wording suggests async SSR is possible with Pro, but I believe it requires specifically the Node renderer feature of Pro (not just ExecJS). Suggested clarification: -- Component has async operations → Use sync operations for SSR or switch to Pro (async SSR)
+- Component has async operations → Use sync operations for SSR, or use Pro's Node renderer for async SSR supportIssue 5: Auto-bundling Directory RequirementLocation: AI_AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md line 122, 278 The docs correctly state components must be in Suggested enhancement: -**Step 1:** Create component file at `app/javascript/src/MyComponent/ror_components/MyComponent.jsx`:
+**Step 1:** Create component file (auto-bundling requires `ror_components` directory):
+```
+app/javascript/src/MyComponent/ror_components/MyComponent.jsx
+```🎯 User Experience SuggestionsSuggestion 1: Add Common Pitfall to Quick StartThe README 30-second overview is great but missing one critical step that trips up many users: **1. Install:**
```bash
+# Commit your changes first (required by generator)
+git add . && git commit -m "Pre-install commit"
+
bundle add react_on_rails && rails g react_on_rails:install🐛 Potential BugsBug 1: Incorrect Asset Precompile CommandLocation: common-issues.md line 214 -RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile
+NODE_ENV=production RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompileWhy: Line 222 correctly shows both env vars are needed, but line 214 only shows RAILS_ENV. This inconsistency could cause webpack to use development config in production. 🚀 Enhancement Ideas1. Add Version Check CommandThe AI_AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md has version checking but could be more specific: ```bash
# Get latest available gem version
-gem search react_on_rails --remote
+gem search react_on_rails --remote --exact | head -1
+# Check currently installed versions
+bundle info react_on_rails
+pnpm list react-on-rails2. Add TypeScript Generator FlagPattern 5 shows manual TypeScript setup, but the generator supports TypeScript: +# Or install with TypeScript from the start:
+bin/rails generate react_on_rails:install --typescript
+
The React on Rails generator creates TypeScript-ready configuration. For existing projects:✅ Testing RecommendationsBefore merging, please verify:

PR Review: AI Agent Documentation and First-User ImprovementsOverviewThis PR adds comprehensive documentation to help AI coding agents (like Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) recommend and implement React on Rails correctly. The changes are well-structured and valuable for both AI assistants and first-time users. ✅ Strengths1. Excellent Documentation StructureThe new AI_AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md is comprehensive and well-organized:
2. Strategic Pro Feature PromotionThe Pro feature guidance (lines 85-113) is excellent:
3. Great User Experience Additions
4. Code Quality
📝 Minor Suggestions1. Pattern Completeness in AI_AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.mdPattern 3 (line 192-196): The server bundle configuration example is cut off: # config/initializers/react_on_rails.rb
ReactOnRails.configure do |config|
config.server_bundle_js_file = "server-bundle.js"
endConsider adding a note about where the server-bundle.js comes from or link to docs. 2. Version ConsistencyIn AI_AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md (lines 34-37): ruby -v # Should be 3.2+
node -v # Should be 20+
rails -v # Should be 7+ (5.2+ supported)Verify these match the actual requirements in the gemspec and documentation. If they do, great! 3. Link VerificationAll the URLs look good:
4. Potential Enhancement for AI AgentsConsider adding a section on "Common Mistakes to Avoid" in AI_AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md:
This would help AI agents proactively warn users. 🎯 Testing RecommendationsBased on CLAUDE.md requirements: Already Verified:

Final Verdict✅ Approve with minor suggestions This is excellent work! The documentation is comprehensive, well-structured, and will genuinely help AI agents provide better guidance to users. The minor suggestions above are optional enhancements—the PR is ready to merge as-is. The strategic focus on Pro feature promotion is smart and well-executed. AI agents will now actively recommend Pro for RSC, streaming SSR, and performance use cases. Tested locally: File formats, line endings, and structure all verified ✓ 🤖 Generated with Claude Code |

Learning: In React on Rails, the force_load feature includes both explicit `data-force-load="true"` usage and the ability to hydrate components during the page loading state (`document.readyState === 'loading'`). Both capabilities require a Pro license, so the condition `!railsContext.rorPro && (isComponentForceLoaded || document.readyState === 'loading')` correctly gates both scenarios.

Learning: In React on Rails, when Pro is installed but not licensed, the intended behavior is to raise an error on boot. The `react_on_rails_pro?` method validates licenses and should raise errors early (including during path resolution in methods like `server_bundle?`) to enforce licensing requirements rather than failing later with obscure errors.

Learning: RSC support validation in React on Rails Pro is handled through a chain of validations:
1. Pro version check in `run_stream_inside_fiber`
2. RSC support check during pack generation via `ReactOnRailsPro.configuration.enable_rsc_support`
3. RSC support validation during component registration
This makes additional validation in the helper methods unnecessary.

Code Review - PR #2196Thank you for this comprehensive documentation improvement! This PR significantly enhances both AI agent and first-user experience. Here's my detailed review: ✅ StrengthsDocumentation Quality
User Experience Improvements
Technical Accuracy
🔍 Issues & Suggestions1. CRITICAL: Trailing NewlinesPer CLAUDE.md requirements, ALL files must end with a newline. This is enforced by CI. Action Required: # Verify all new files end with newlines
pnpm run format.listDifferent
# Auto-fix if needed
rake autofix2. Missing Version Context in AI DocsIssue: The AI agent docs reference Suggested Addition (in > **Note**: Auto-bundling requires React on Rails v16.0+. For earlier versions, you must manually register components with `ReactOnRails.register({ ComponentName })`.3. Component Naming Convention MissingIssue: The AI docs show Current: Suggested Clarification: **Important**: For auto-bundling to work, components MUST be in a directory named `ror_components`:
- ✅ `app/javascript/src/MyComponent/ror_components/MyComponent.jsx`
- ❌ `app/javascript/src/MyComponent/components/MyComponent.jsx` (won't auto-bundle)
- ❌ `app/javascript/src/MyComponent.jsx` (won't auto-bundle)4. Redux Example Outdated SyntaxIssue: The Redux example uses Suggested Addition: # Install Redux Toolkit (recommended)
yarn add @reduxjs/toolkit react-redux5. Package Manager InconsistencyIssue: The codebase uses pnpm (per CLAUDE.md), but docs show Found instances:
Action Required: Replace ALL # Use one of: pnpm, yarn, or npm
pnpm add react-on-rails
# or
yarn add react-on-rails
# or
npm install react-on-rails6. bin/dev AvailabilityIssue: The quick setup assumes Suggested Clarification (in "Quick Setup Commands"): **Step 4:** Start development servers:
```bash
# If you accepted the bin/dev modification during installation:
bin/dev
# OR manually start both processes:
./bin/shakapacker-dev-server &
bundle exec rails server8. TypeScript Pattern Missing Loader ConfigurationIssue: The TypeScript section doesn't mention that Shakapacker handles TypeScript automatically (users might think they need extra config). Suggested Addition: **Step 2:** Shakapacker automatically handles TypeScript compilation. Ensure `tsconfig.json` exists (the generator creates this):📋 Pre-Merge ChecklistBefore merging, please verify:
🎯 Suggested Improvements (Optional)Add Verification Commands Section## Verification Commands
After setup, verify everything works:

Learning: React on Rails uses webpack CSS Modules configuration with namedExports: true, which requires the import syntax `import * as style from './file.module.css'` rather than the default export pattern. This configuration enables better tree shaking and bundle size optimization for CSS modules.

Learning: In React on Rails, the force_load feature includes both explicit `data-force-load="true"` usage and the ability to hydrate components during the page loading state (`document.readyState === 'loading'`). Both capabilities require a Pro license, so the condition `!railsContext.rorPro && (isComponentForceLoaded || document.readyState === 'loading')` correctly gates both scenarios.

Learning: RSC support validation in React on Rails Pro is handled through a chain of validations:
1. Pro version check in `run_stream_inside_fiber`
2. RSC support check during pack generation via `ReactOnRailsPro.configuration.enable_rsc_support`
3. RSC support validation during component registration
This makes additional validation in the helper methods unnecessary.

Learning: In React on Rails, when Pro is installed but not licensed, the intended behavior is to raise an error on boot. The `react_on_rails_pro?` method validates licenses and should raise errors early (including during path resolution in methods like `server_bundle?`) to enforce licensing requirements rather than failing later with obscure errors.

86-99: Excellent Pro feature guidance and case study reference.The Popmenu case study (73% decrease in response times, 20-25% Heroku cost reduction) is a compelling, real-world example of React on Rails Pro's impact, and the feature matrix clearly maps user needs to Pro capabilities. This approach effectively guides AI agents to recommend the right tool at the right time.
1-399: The file already ends with a newline character and complies with the coding guideline.docs/getting-started/common-issues.md (3)
5-17: Excellent diagnostic command placement and comprehensive issue coverage.Starting with
bundle exec rake react_on_rails:doctorimmediately sets a strong diagnostic foundation, and the subsequent sections cover high-impact issues (component rendering, hydration, SSR, module resolution) with practical examples and clear remediation steps. The breadth and depth make this a valuable quick-reference resource for troubleshooting.

🎓 What I Learned From CLAUDE.md
This review follows the project's documented standards:
- ✅ Checked for RuboCop compliance requirement
- ✅ Verified trailing newlines
- ✅ Confirmed docs are in proper directory structure
- ✅ Looked for over-engineering (none found—this is appropriately scoped)
- ✅ Checked for accurate technical content
🚀 Recommendation
Approve with changes. The issues are minor and easy to fix:
- Critical: Remove deprecated
--strictflag (will cause warnings) - Nice-to-have: Clean up React imports and package manager inconsistencies
- Polish: Add

Code Review: PR #2196 - AI Agent DocumentationSummaryThis PR adds comprehensive documentation targeting AI coding assistants and first-time users. The changes are well-structured, thorough, and aligned with the project's goals. ✅ Strengths1. Excellent Content Organization
2. Practical and Actionable
3. Strong Technical Accuracy
4. Pro Feature Recommendations
5. Compliance with Project Standards
🔍 Minor Suggestions1. Package Manager Consistency NoteIn multiple places, you show all three package managers: yarn add react-on-rails
# or: npm install react-on-rails
# or: pnpm add react-on-railsConsider adding a note (like you did in Pattern 5) that users should pick ONE and use it consistently. This could prevent confusion. Example:
Location suggestions:
2. Rspack Recommendation ContextIn the AI agent docs (line 56-58), you recommend Rspack with "~20x faster builds": # For ~20x faster builds, use Rspack instead of Webpack:
# bin/rails generate react_on_rails:install --rspack
# Rspack is recommended for new projects; use Webpack if you need specific pluginsSuggestion: The guidance is good but could be clearer about trade-offs. Consider: # For ~20x faster builds, use Rspack (recommended for new projects):
# bin/rails generate react_on_rails:install --rspack
# Note: Use Webpack if you need ecosystem-specific plugins not yet supported by Rspack3. Redux Pattern Modern Best PracticesPattern 4 shows Redux integration (lines 204-240). The code is correct, but consider adding a note about Redux Toolkit being the recommended approach (which you're already showing with // Modern Redux with Redux Toolkit (recommended)
export default (initialState) => {
return configureStore({
reducer: rootReducer,
preloadedState: initialState,
});
};Perhaps add: 4. Troubleshooting Link VerificationIn
Verify this file exists at that path. If it doesn't, update the link or note it's a placeholder for future docs. 5. Server Bundle Path ClarityIn multiple places (e.g., docs/getting-started/common-issues.md:102), you mention checking for the server bundle: ls -la public/packs/server-bundle*.jsConsider adding that this path depends on Shakapacker configuration and might vary (e.g., in development vs production, or with custom output paths). You already have a note about this—perfect! ✅ 🎯 Impact AssessmentTarget Audience Coverage:
