Late to the party, but for anyone viewing this today I think I've come up with something better.

Punchbox Gem for Rails

With this, you can write code like:

class Post {
  controller() {
    // Runs on every action
  }
  index() {
    // Runs on just the index action
  }
}

Punchbox.on('Posts', Post);

(You can also create an object instead of a class. See the docs)
