SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps developers build, debug, and refine Elixir applications that leverage Ash for resource management and Phoenix LiveView for dynamic frontends, reducing friction in full-stack Elixir projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Ash Framework: Creating and managing resources, actions, calculations, validations, changes, and policies using Ash's declarative approach
  • Phoenix LiveView: Building interactive, real-time user interfaces without JavaScript
  • Tidewave Tools: Using MCP tools to interrogate and debug running applications
  • Playwright: Automating browser interactions for testing and debugging
  • Testing: Writing comprehensive tests using ExUnit, PhoenixTest, and Ash.Generator
  • Code Generation: Using generators to scaffold resources and changes to maintain consistency
  • Testing Practices: Running tests with mix test, leveraging Ash.Generator for seed data, and adopting robust frontend test patterns
  • Browser Automation: Employing Playwright for end-to-end verification
  • Code Quality: Ensuring compile-time checks and idiomatic Elixir practices, with clean domain boundaries

Quick Start

Set up a new Elixir project configured with Ash resources and Phoenix LiveView, then begin debugging and end-to-end testing using tidewave MCP tools.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I debug Phoenix LiveView applications using Ash resources?▼

Debug Phoenix LiveView applications using Ash resources by leveraging Tidewave MCP tools to interrogate running apps, enforcing Ash resource definitions, and applying LiveView lifecycle patterns to isolate issues quickly.

What's the best way to test Elixir apps with Ash and Phoenix LiveView?▼

Test Elixir apps with Ash and Phoenix LiveView by writing comprehensive ExUnit tests, leveraging Ash.Generator for seed data, and running tests with mix test to ensure robust frontend and backend coverage.

Can I use Playwright for browser automation in Elixir LiveView projects?▼

Playwright works with Elixir LiveView projects to automate browser interactions for end-to-end verification, enabling developers to debug and validate dynamic LiveView interfaces without writing manual JavaScript.

How do I scaffold Ash resources and changes consistently in Phoenix?▼

Scaffold Ash resources and changes in Phoenix by using Ash code generators to maintain consistency, enforcing declarative resource definitions, and ensuring clean domain boundaries with compile-time checks for idiomatic Elixir.

Does Tidewave MCP support interrogating running Elixir applications?▼

Tidewave MCP supports interrogating running Elixir applications by providing tooling workflows that allow developers to debug and refine Ash resources and Phoenix LiveView interfaces in real-time during development.

Why does my Ash resource validation fail during Phoenix LiveView development?▼

Ash resource validation failures during Phoenix LiveView development often stem from lifecycle pattern mismatches or incomplete declarative definitions, which can be identified using Tidewave MCP tools and ExUnit testing workflows.
