Research direction

Start with config.json and run configlet lint to confirm the reported strings practice-count violation. Review the affected user-facing Practice Exercises and the practices arrays; done means configlet lint no longer reports more than 10 strings entries.

Description

configlet lint reports

The Concept strings appears 21 times in the practices arrays of user-facing Practice Exercises, but can only appear at most 10 times:
/Users/daniel.berg/Documents/Projekt/Exercism/ruby/config.json

If I'm interpreting this correctly, there are too many practice exercises for the strings concepts
