Wheels Anti-Pattern Detector

This skill runs automatically whenever you ask Claude to generate or modify CFWheels code. It's active during the creation of models, controllers, views, and migrations, as well as during general code review and refactoring tasks for any CFWheels project.

It prevents several critical errors, including silent migration failures caused by string booleans from the CLI generator, 'NoPrimaryKey' errors by ensuring `setPrimaryKey()` is declared in models, and property access errors in model callbacks by adding `structKeyExists()` checks.

Yes. Beyond code generation, you can use this skill to review and refactor existing CFWheels files. It will identify and suggest fixes for anti-patterns like mixed argument styles, using ArrayLen() on query objects, or calling non-existent form helpers, making it an excellent tool for modernizing legacy codebases.

It improves your workflow by catching hard-to-debug issues before they are ever written to a file. By automatically fixing critical problems like invalid migration syntax or missing model configurations, it saves significant development and debugging time, leading to more reliable and consistent code.

This skill automatically scans ColdFusion Wheels (CFWheels) code to detect and fix common, critical errors and anti-patterns. It activates during code generation to ensure the output is correct and follows best practices, preventing silent failures and runtime errors.
