A Ruby code quality reporter (by whitesmith)
Flog
Flog reports the most tortured code in an easy to read pain report. The higher the score, the more pain the code is in. (by seattlerb)

Improve Code in Your Ruby Application with RubyCritic
You should consider using RubyCritic if you want a single place to review code improvements for your project. Including RubyCritic in your development process will certainly reduce the time a development team spends working on technical debts. Most technical debts will be mapped out at development time.

Best services and/or gems for automated generation of documentation, unit tests, and useful things of this nature
It's also possible to write unit tests in order to better understand or surface your assumptions about a legacy application. I'd also consider running rubycritic against legacy code, to see where the code smells and other hot spots lie.

Flog-Driven Development
You point flog to a file, or directory, and it provides you with a score. The higher the score, the more attention you might want to pay to it. As for how flog calculates the number, I'll let flog summarize itself again:
-
Improve Code in Your Ruby Application with RubyCritic
Flog checks how difficult your code is to test. It sets a complexity score for each line of code and sums up the score for each method and class.
-
Gems that can identify churn, complexity, duplication and smells.
