Personally, I use the convention of "#" to start a code comment, and "# " to start a text comment. I'm not sure if it's possible to modify the Ruby grammar to allow only spell checking for only lines with "# ", nor how difficult that would be.
It’s fairly simple. There is a rule to match comments, just duplicate it to match your commetns+space (place it above, so it gets to match first, since it is a subset of the existing).
Give that a special scope, like comment.line.prose and make a spell checking preference target that scope.
