SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Developers using the Elixir Phoenix plugin face a large catalog of workflow commands and often do not know which one fits their current situation, leading to wrong tool choices or abandoned workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Intent Classification: Maps user descriptions and ambient context (git status, existing plans, solution docs) to one of the plugin's workflow categories such as bug investigation, new features, or code review.
  • Interactive Clarification: Asks at most one focused clarifying question when intent is ambiguous, then presents the exact command syntax with expected artifacts and next steps.
  • Use Case: A developer hits a failing test and types a vague request; the skill checks for existing plans and uncommitted changes, then routes them to the investigate workflow with exact syntax instead of dumping the full command catalog.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant which phx workflow command to use for your current task, optionally describing what you want to accomplish.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose the right phx workflow command for my task?

Invoke phx-help with a short description of what you want to do, or with no arguments to let it analyze your git status and existing plans. It returns one recommended command with exact syntax, expected artifacts, and the suggested next step.

What is the difference between phx-plan and phx-quick?

Use phx-quick for small changes under 50 lines in one or two files with clear scope, such as adding a field to a schema. Use phx-plan for multi-file features, new domain concepts, or anything needing structured tasks.

When should I use phx-investigate instead of fixing a bug directly?

Use phx-investigate when you have a stack trace, unknown cause, intermittent failure, or race condition. If you already know the cause and the fix is small, fix it directly without the investigation workflow.

Does phx-help work without any arguments?

Yes. With no arguments it gathers ambient context in parallel: existing plans under .claude/plans, git status for uncommitted changes, and prior solution documents. It then classifies your situation and recommends a command.

What are the limitations of the phx-help routing recommendations?

It gives exactly one recommendation and asks at most one clarifying question, so vague requests may need a follow-up. It never blocks users who already know which command they want to run.
