Since I did not want to constantly re-invent the wheel I will write down my choices for putting together my Cuba template.

Choose your favorite version of ruby and install it using rbenv (I happened to use MRI 2.2.3 at this point).
create your template directory and CD into it.
fix your ruby version using rbenv local 2.2.3 or somesuch
create a github repository and follow the instructions for the README.md and the first commit.
get a Gemfile from a running project and edit away the stuff I considered project specific
run bundle install, takes a while, but looks nice, remember to add Gemfile.lock to git too
create routes and config directories, want to put stuff in there
create an initial Cuba route in routes/default.rb

Setup for Cuba in a sample app

I recently read up quite some articles on microframworks and I liked the idea to try out Cuba instead of the regular Sinatra for a change. Here is what I ended up with.

First of all my Gemfile:

source "https://rubygems.org"
ruby "2.0.0"

Shopify Theme Development — Claude Code Guidelines

This file provides frontend best practices and conventions for Claude Code when working on any Shopify theme project. Follow these guidelines unless the project's README or a team member explicitly overrides them.

Project Structure

Follow the standard Shopify theme directory structure: assets/, config/, layout/, sections/, snippets/, templates/, locales/.
Never create directories outside this structure without explicit justification.

	// app/javascript/shopify_app/shopify_app.js
	import { getSessionToken } from "@shopify/app-bridge-utils";
	import $ from "jquery";

	const SESSION_TOKEN_REFRESH_INTERVAL = 2000; // Request a new token every 2s

	async function retrieveToken(app) {
	window.sessionToken = await getSessionToken(app);
	}

	// JavaScript
	let hidePage = () => {
	let payload = {
	object_type: 'page',
	object_id: 123,
	namespace: 'seo',
	key: 'hidden',
	value: 1,
	value_type: 'number_integer'
	};
