## 🎯 Implementation Details

### 1. Dependencies
```toml
# Added to pyproject.toml
"tree-sitter-ruby>=1.5"
```

**Installation**:
```bash
pip install tree-sitter-ruby
```

### 2. Ruby Parser (`clauxton/intelligence/parser.py`)

```python
class RubyParser(BaseParser):
    """
    Ruby parser using tree-sitter.

    Parses Ruby source files and returns AST for symbol extraction.
    Supports:
    - Classes
    - Modules
    - Methods (instance, singleton, class)
    - Attributes (attr_reader, attr_writer, attr_accessor)
    """

    def __init__(self) -> None:
        """Initialize Ruby parser."""
        try:
            import tree_sitter_ruby as tsruby
            from tree_sitter import Language, Parser

            self.language = Language(tsruby.language())
            self.parser = Parser(self.language)
            self.available = True
        except ImportError as e:
            logger.warning(f"tree-sitter-ruby not available: {e}")
            self.available = False
```

### 3. Ruby Symbol Extractor (`clauxton/intelligence/symbol_extractor.py`)

#### Supported Symbol Types

| Symbol Type | Ruby Example | Extracted |
|------------|-------------|-----------|
| **Classes** | `class User; end` | ✅ |
| **Modules** | `module Authentication; end` | ✅ |
| **Instance Methods** | `def calculate; end` | ✅ |
| **Singleton Methods** | `def self.create; end` | ✅ |
| **Class Methods** | `class << self; def build; end; end` | ✅ |
| **Attributes** | `attr_accessor :name, :email` | ✅ |

#### Ruby-Specific Features

- ✅ **Inheritance**: `class User < ApplicationRecord`
- ✅ **Module Mixins**: `include Comparable`, `extend ClassMethods`, `prepend Authorization`
- ✅ **Nested Classes/Modules**: `class API; class V1; end; end`
- ✅ **Singleton Methods**: `def self.method_name` and `class << self; def method_name; end; end`
- ✅ **Class Methods**: Multiple definition styles supported
- ✅ **Private/Protected Methods**: `private def method_name; end`
- ✅ **Attribute Accessors**: `attr_reader :name`, `attr_writer :email`, `attr_accessor :age`
- ✅ **Initialize Methods**: `def initialize(name); end`
- ✅ **Method Parameters**: Default parameters `def method(name = "default")`, keyword arguments `def method(name:, age: 18)`
- ✅ **Empty Classes**: `class Empty; end`

#### Implementation Pattern

```python
class RubySymbolExtractor:
    def _walk_tree(self, node, symbols, file_path):
        # Class declaration
        if node.type == "class":
            name_node = node.child_by_field_name("name")
            if name_node:
                symbol = {
                    "name": name_node.text.decode(),
                    "type": "class",
                    "file_path": file_path,
                    "line_start": node.start_point[0] + 1,
                    "line_end": node.end_point[0] + 1,
                    "docstring": self._extract_docstring(node),
                }
                symbols.append(symbol)

        # Module declaration
        elif node.type == "module":
            # ...

        # Method declaration
        elif node.type == "method":
            # ...

        # Singleton class (class << self)
        elif node.type == "singleton_class":
            # ...

        # Attribute accessors
        elif node.type == "call":
            method = node.child_by_field_name("method")
            if method and method.text.decode() in ["attr_reader", "attr_writer", "attr_accessor"]:
                # ...

        # Recurse into children
        for child in node.children:
            self._walk_tree(child, symbols, file_path)
```

### 4. Dispatcher Integration

Updated `SymbolExtractor` dispatcher:
```python
class SymbolExtractor:
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        self.extractors = {
            "python": PythonSymbolExtractor(),
            "javascript": JavaScriptSymbolExtractor(),
            "typescript": TypeScriptSymbolExtractor(),
            "go": GoSymbolExtractor(),
            "rust": RustSymbolExtractor(),
            "cpp": CppSymbolExtractor(),
            "java": JavaSymbolExtractor(),
            "csharp": CSharpSymbolExtractor(),
            "php": PhpSymbolExtractor(),
            "ruby": RubySymbolExtractor(),  # NEW
        }
```

## 🎓 Lessons Learned

### 1. Ruby Method Definition Styles

Ruby has multiple ways to define class methods:

```ruby
# Style 1: self.method_name
def self.create
end

# Style 2: class << self block
class << self
  def build
  end
end

# Style 3: class.method_name (less common)
def User.destroy
end
```

**Solution**: Implemented detection for both `method` with `self.` prefix and `singleton_class` nodes.

### 2. Ruby-Specific Node Types
- **Classes**: `class` (simple!)
- **Modules**: `module`
- **Methods**: `method`
- **Singleton Class**: `singleton_class` (for `class << self`)
- **Attributes**: `call` with method name in `["attr_reader", "attr_writer", "attr_accessor"]`

### 3. Attribute Accessor Extraction

Ruby's `attr_accessor :name, :email` creates both getter and setter methods. Implemented special handling:

```python
if node.type == "call":
    method = node.child_by_field_name("method")
    if method and method.text.decode() in ["attr_reader", "attr_writer", "attr_accessor"]:
        # Extract attribute symbols
        for arg in node.children:
            if arg.type == "argument_list":
                for symbol_arg in arg.children:
                    if symbol_arg.type in ["simple_symbol", "hash_splat_nil"]:
                        # Create method symbol for each attribute
```

### 4. Test Coverage Strategy
- **Start broad**: Basic extraction tests (classes, modules, methods)
- **Add features**: Ruby-specific features (mixins, singleton methods, attr_accessor)
- **Test edge cases**: Empty files, Unicode, error handling
- **Verify integration**: Repository map compatibility

### 5. Fixture Design
- **Comprehensive fixture** (`sample.rb`): Multiple symbol types in one file
- **Edge case fixture** (`empty.rb`): Boundary condition
- **Unicode fixture** (`unicode.rb`): Internationalization support

  - 120 Ruby files (300 classes, 200 modules, 300 methods)
  - 50 ERB templates
  - 30 JavaScript files

# Search for Ruby classes
$ clauxton repo search "Controller" --mode exact

# Output:
UsersController (class) at app/controllers/users_controller.rb:5-40
  - Handles user-related HTTP requests
ApplicationController (class) at app/controllers/application_controller.rb:1-10
  - Base controller for all controllers
API::V1::BaseController (class) at app/controllers/api/v1/base_controller.rb:3-15
  - Base controller for API v1

# Search for modules
$ clauxton repo search "Authenticatable" --mode exact

# Output:
Authenticatable (module) at app/models/concerns/authenticatable.rb:1-25
  - Adds authentication capabilities to models
```

## 💡 Recommendations

### For Future Language Additions
1. **Study language-specific idioms**: Ruby's attr_accessor, PHP's traits, etc.
2. **Test multiple definition styles**: Ruby class methods, Python @classmethod, etc.
3. **Create idiomatic fixtures**: Use realistic code patterns from popular frameworks
4. **Document limitations early**: RDoc/YARD parsing, dynamic method definitions, etc.
5. **Reference similar languages**: PHP traits were helpful for Ruby mixins

### For Production Use
1. **Ruby Version Support**: Currently targets Ruby 2.7+. Works well with Rails 6+.
2. **Performance**: Ruby parser is fast (~2.3s for 29 tests). No optimization needed yet.
3. **Error Handling**: Graceful handling of malformed Ruby files implemented.
4. **RDoc/YARD Extraction**: Future enhancement: extract documentation comments.

### For Rails Projects
1. **Rails Conventions**: Works well with Rails naming conventions (controllers, models, concerns)
2. **Module Mixins**: Properly extracts Rails concerns (include/extend)
3. **Class Methods**: Supports both Rails styles (`self.method` and `class << self`)
4. **Recommendations**:
   - Index `app/` directory for main code
   - Exclude `vendor/`, `node_modules/`, `tmp/` (add to `.gitignore`)
   - Use semantic search for finding related Rails concerns
