## What it is
A community-curated collection of Ruby tricks, idiomatic Ruby patterns, refactoring techniques, and best practices written in Markdown. It serves as a reference guide for writing cleaner, more natural Ruby code.

## Use cases
- learn idiomatic ruby
- find ruby tricks and lesser-known language features
- improve readability of ruby code through refactorings
- adopt ruby best practices
- reference for writing cleaner ruby

## When to choose
- you write Ruby and want to make code more idiomatic and maintainable
- you are learning Ruby and want curated tips beyond official docs
- you want a community-contributed catalog of refactoring techniques

## When to avoid
- you need executable tooling, linters, or automated refactoring
- you work in a language other than Ruby
- you need an actively maintained resource with recent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: documentation, developer-tools
- domain: programming-languages, tutorials, developer-tools
- platform: ruby
- tags: ruby, idiomatic-ruby, refactoring, best-practices, awesome-list, code-style
