Description

Hi,

It would be great if running

rails g scaffold Model
rails g controller Model

would actually generate an empty policy file that inherits from ApplicationPolicy.

As a bonus, for resources scaffolding, maybe we could implements all CRUD actions and defaults to false.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore how Rails generators work, specifically the scaffold generator, and implement a policy generator that creates an empty policy file inheriting from ApplicationPolicy. Consider implementing default CRUD policies for resources.
