## What it is
A Ruby gem that adds schema summary comments to the top or bottom of ActiveRecord model files, fixtures, tests, factories, and routes.rb in Rails projects. It keeps database column information visible directly in source code as comments.

## Use cases
- show database schema as comments in Rails models
- annotate ActiveRecord models with column info
- add routes summary to routes.rb
- keep factory and fixture files documented with schema
- auto-update model comments after migrations

## When to choose
- you maintain a Rails app and want schema info visible in model files
- your team wants comments refreshed automatically after db migrations
- you want routes.rb annotated with route output

## When to avoid
- you don't use Rails or ActiveRecord
- you dislike generated comments cluttering your source files
- you use a non-Ruby ORM without equivalent tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: developer-tools, documentation, orm
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, databases, documentation
- platform: ruby
- tags: rails, activerecord, schema-annotations, code-comments, gem
