Write clean, minimal, production-ready Ruby gems using Andrew Kane's proven patterns and philosophy.

• Follow Andrew Kane's battle-tested patterns from 100+ gems
• Prioritize simplicity over cleverness
• Use explicit code, not metaprogramming or Rails coupling
• Design APIs with clear, minimal DSLs

• Simplicity over cleverness
• Zero or minimal dependencies
• Explicit code over metaprogramming
• Rails integration without direct Rails coupling
• Use `ActiveSupport.on_load` never `require Rails`
• Configuration via `class << self` with `attr_accessor`
• Error hierarchy with clear, informative messages
• Minitest only for testing

1. 1.Use the entry point structure in `lib/gemname.rb`
2. 2.Apply the class macro DSL pattern for configuration
3. 3.Integrate with Rails via `ActiveSupport.on_load`
4. 4.Set defaults and config via `class << self`
5. 5.Avoid anti-patterns like `method_missing` and configuration objects
