Popular for its size, but the engineering basics lag behind the interest.
Auto-generate models, views, controllers, and routes in a Rails app based on database structure
A low grade is a to-do list, not a judgment of your code
Most gaps here are documentation, tests, and setup, not the code itself. Closing your top 3 gaps alone would lift this repo to B (81).

Highest-impact changes first, ranked by point weight

Wire your tests to a documented command (e.g. a test script in your build config) so the suite is reproducible.
- 2CI/CD14pt
If your CI lives elsewhere (a private repo that builds this one) or this project is itself a CI/CD tool, mark this check Not Applicable. Otherwise add a GitHub Actions workflow that runs tests on each push. It takes 15 minutes and reassures contributors their changes won't break things.

Add CI/build status badges from shields.io or your CI provider to signal project health.

Add a .env.example listing all required environment variables so contributors know what to set up.
Working through the fixes? Let every push regrade itself.
The free GitHub App rescans this repo on every push and posts the grade as a commit check, so the score climbs without coming back to rescan by hand.
