Complex authorization rules defined with boolean expressions are hard to debug and don't allow us to tell users _why_ they can't perform a task.

That's what pundit and activepolicy rely on, though. Maybe cancan did better?

I put together a little something to define rules and compose them so that we can introspect them. WDYT?

Adding a command palette to an admin UI is pretty simple with https://github.com/ssleptsov/ninja-keys.

I just registered all menu bar links as actions and boom we can all happily CMD+K around the UI.

Low effort / high return!
