Warp Rails Bootstrap

Configure Warp terminal for optimal Rails development with colored tabs.

Critical Rules

READ THESE FIRST. VIOLATIONS WILL BREAK THE CONFIG.
  1. MUST use AskUserQuestion - Do NOT generate the config until user selects their tabs
  2. MUST use
    bin/dev
    - If
    bin/dev
    exists, use it. Do NOT parse Procfile.dev for individual commands
  3. MUST use lowercase color names - Only valid:
    red
    ,
    green
    ,
    yellow
    ,
    blue
    ,
    magenta
    ,
    cyan
  4. MUST use
    exec:
    for commands
    - Format:
    - exec: bin/dev
    NOT
    - "bin/dev"
  5. MUST use absolute paths - Never use
    ~
    or relative paths in
    cwd
    field
  6. MUST start YAML with
    ---
    - The document separator is required
  7. MUST read reference docs - Before generating YAML, read @./references/launch-config-schema.md

Workflow

Execute these steps IN ORDER. Do not skip steps.

Step 1: Verify Rails Project

Run this command:
bash
test -f config/application.rb && echo "RAILS PROJECT" || echo "NOT RAILS"
If NOT RAILS, stop and tell user to run from a Rails directory.

Step 2: Gather Project Context

Run these commands and store the results:
bash
# Get absolute path (REQUIRED for cwd)
pwd

# Get project name from directory
basename "$(pwd)"

# Check for bin/dev
test -f bin/dev && echo "HAS_BIN_DEV=true" || echo "HAS_BIN_DEV=false"

# Check for background job processor
grep -l "sidekiq\|good_job\|solid_queue" Gemfile 2>/dev/null && echo "HAS_JOBS=true" || echo "HAS_JOBS=false"
IMPORTANT:
  • If
    HAS_BIN_DEV=true
    , the dev command is
    bin/dev
    . Period. Do NOT look inside Procfile.dev.
  • If
    HAS_BIN_DEV=false
    , the dev command is
    bin/rails server
    .

Step 3: STOP - Ask Tab Configuration

You MUST use AskUserQuestion here. Do NOT proceed until user responds.
Ask: "Which tabs do you want in your Warp launch configuration?"
Use multi-select with these options:
LabelDescription
Server (green)Run dev server (bin/dev or rails server)
Claude (blue)Start Claude Code session
Shell (yellow)Empty terminal for commands
Console (magenta)Rails console
Logs (cyan)Tail log/development.log
If HAS_JOBS=true, also include: | Jobs (red) | Background job processor |
WAIT FOR USER RESPONSE BEFORE CONTINUING.

Step 4: Read Reference Documentation

Before writing ANY YAML, read the schema reference:
Read @./references/launch-config-schema.md
This ensures you use the correct format.

Step 5: Generate Launch Configuration

Create the launch configuration file.
File location:
~/.warp/launch_configurations/{project-name}.yaml
EXACT FORMAT TO USE:
yaml
---
name: {project-name}
windows:
  - tabs:
      - title: Server
        color: green
        layout:
          cwd: {ABSOLUTE_PATH_FROM_PWD}
          commands:
            - exec: bin/dev
      - title: Claude
        color: blue
        layout:
          cwd: {ABSOLUTE_PATH_FROM_PWD}
          commands:
            - exec: claude
      - title: Shell
        color: yellow
        layout:
          cwd: {ABSOLUTE_PATH_FROM_PWD}
FORMAT RULES:
  • File MUST start with
    ---
    (YAML document separator)
  • color
    MUST be lowercase:
    green
    ,
    blue
    ,
    yellow
    ,
    magenta
    ,
    cyan
    ,
    red
  • color
    MUST NOT be capitalized or an object with r/g/b values
  • commands
    MUST use
    exec:
    prefix:
    - exec: bin/dev
  • commands
    MUST NOT be plain strings like
    - "bin/dev"
  • cwd
    MUST be the absolute path from
    pwd
    command (no quotes needed)
  • cwd
    MUST NOT use
    ~
    or relative paths

Step 6: Display Summary

Show the user what was created:
Warp launch configuration created for {project-name}!

Location: ~/.warp/launch_configurations/{project-name}.yaml

How to use:
  Keyboard:     Ctrl-Cmd-L → select "{project-name}"
  Direct URL:   warp://launch/{project-name}.yaml

Tabs configured:
  {list each tab with color and command}

Common Mistakes to Avoid
