## What it is
Standard Ruby is a linter and formatter for Ruby built on RuboCop, offering a deliberately unconfigurable, opinionated ruleset to eliminate style debates. It supports plugins via lint_roller and integrates with editors and CI.

## Use cases
- lint my ruby code without configuring rules
- auto-format ruby files to a consistent style
- enforce a single ruby code style across a team
- stop bikeshedding over rubocop configuration
- run ruby style checks in CI
- add custom lint rules via plugins

## When to choose
- you want zero-configuration, opinionated ruby linting and formatting
- your team wastes time debating style rules
- you want a standardjs-like experience for ruby

## When to avoid
- you need heavily customized or per-project style rules
- you already maintain a fine-tuned rubocop configuration

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: linter, formatter, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, programming-languages
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: ruby, rubocop, code-style, zero-configuration, auto-formatting, command-line
