You need to tell RuboCop to load the RSpec extension. There are three ways to do this:

Put this into your .rubocop.yml.

require: rubocop-rspec

Alternatively, use the following array notation when specifying multiple extensions.

require:
  - rubocop-other-extension
  - rubocop-rspec

Now you can run rubocop and it will automatically load the RuboCop RSpec cops together with the standard cops.

rubocop --require rubocop-rspec

RuboCop::RakeTask.new do |task|
  task.requires << 'rubocop-rspec'
end

rubocop-rspec is available on Code Climate as part of the rubocop engine. Learn More.

You can read more about RuboCop RSpec in its official manual.

All cops are located under lib/rubocop/cop/rspec, and contain examples/documentation.

In your .rubocop.yml, you may treat the RSpec cops just like any other cop. For example:

RSpec/SpecFilePathFormat:
  Exclude:
    - spec/my_poorly_named_spec_file.rb
