Has the idea of using the [standard gem](https://github.com/testdouble/standard) for consolidating rubocop and code formatting been considered? It recently hit 1.0.

Yes we’re aware of standardrb and I know Tim’s a fan. We need to see how far we are from the standardrb rules first to make sure it makes sense to adopt it. I’m working on a custom Rubocop GitHub app that we’ll be using soon, so this will be a great opportunity to look into standardrb.

I’ve built a `rubocop-lts` [family of gems](https://rubocop-lts.gitlab.io/) on top of standardrb, which uses the rules, but not the runtime, so that it can also use `rubocop-gradual`, which IMO, is a best-practice of a higher precedence. Would love feedback! I wrote about the recent change to build on top of standardrb and rubocop-gradual [here](https://rubocop-lts.gitlab.io/migration/2023/05/19/a-new-hope.html).
