What it does

Intent Detection is an agent skill from oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix. Route ambiguous or mixed Phoenix/LiveView/Ecto requests; Use when user is unsure where to start/how to approach work…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering LLM observability. It works with Elixir. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code plugin for Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView — 26 specialist agents, Iron Laws enforcement, and Tidewave MCP integration. Plan features with parallel research agents, execute… The licence is MIT.

Tasks that involve LLM observability

Example prompts

“/intent-detection”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Read user's first message
Match against routing table (use keyword + context signals, not exact match)
If match found with multi-step workflow: "This looks like [intent]. I'd suggest [command] — want me to run it, or should I just dive in?"
If trivial task (typo, single-line fix, config change): skip suggestion, just do it
If user already specified a $elixir-phoenix:phx-* command: follow it, don't re-suggest
NEVER block the user — suggestion only, not mandatory

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9767a82. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Intent Detection loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 536 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Intent Detection — Workflow Routing

When user describes work WITHOUT specifying a $elixir-phoenix:phx-* command, analyze their intent and suggest the appropriate workflow BEFORE starting work.

Hard guard — check FIRST: if the message starts with any slash command ($elixir-phoenix:phx-*, $elixir-phoenix:ecto-*, $elixir-phoenix:lv-*, or any other /command), this skill does not apply. Follow the invoked command directly — no routing analysis, no suggestion, zero output from this skill.

Routing Table

Signal	Detected Intent	Suggest
"bug", "error", "crash", "failing", "broken", stack trace	Bug investigation	`$elixir-phoenix:phx-investigate`
"brainstorm", "explore idea", "not sure what I need", "vague idea", "let's discuss", "how to approach"	Ideation/requirements	`$elixir-phoenix:phx-brainstorm`
"add", "implement", "build", "create" + multi-step	New feature	`$elixir-phoenix:phx-plan`
"review", "check", "audit" code	Code review	`$elixir-phoenix:phx-review`
"fix" + small/specific scope	Quick fix	handle directly or `$elixir-phoenix:phx-quick`
"refactor", "clean up", "improve"	Refactoring	`$elixir-phoenix:phx-plan` (needs scope)
"research", "how to", "what's the best"	Research	`$elixir-phoenix:phx-research`
"evaluate", "compare", "adopt", "library", "should we use"	Library evaluation	`$elixir-phoenix:phx-research --library`
"test", "spec", "coverage"	Testing	handle directly or `$elixir-phoenix:phx-plan`
Describes 1-2 file changes, < 50 lines	Small task	handle directly
"deploy", "release", "production"	Deployment	`$elixir-phoenix:phx-verify` then deploy
"performance", "slow", "N+1", "memory"	Performance	`$elixir-phoenix:phx-perf`
"PR review", "review comments", "address feedback", "respond to PR"	PR response	`$elixir-phoenix:phx-pr-review`
"that worked", "fixed it", "problem solved"	Knowledge capture	`$elixir-phoenix:phx-compound`
"enhance plan", "more detail", "deepen"	Plan enhancement	`$elixir-phoenix:phx-plan --existing`
"triage", "which findings", "prioritize fixes"	Finding triage	`$elixir-phoenix:phx-triage`

Behavior

Read user's first message
Match against routing table (use keyword + context signals, not exact match)
If match found with multi-step workflow: "This looks like [intent]. I'd suggest [command] — want me to run it, or should I just dive in?"
If trivial task (typo, single-line fix, config change): skip suggestion, just do it
If user already specified a $elixir-phoenix:phx-* command: follow it, don't re-suggest
NEVER block the user — suggestion only, not mandatory

Confidence Signals

High confidence (suggest immediately):

Stack trace or error message pasted → $elixir-phoenix:phx-investigate
"Add [feature] with [multiple components]" → $elixir-phoenix:phx-plan
"Review my changes" or "check this PR" → $elixir-phoenix:phx-review

Medium confidence (suggest with caveat):

"Fix [thing]" — could be quick or complex, suggest based on scope description
"Update [thing]" — could be small edit or refactor

Low confidence (just do it):

Single file mentioned, clear change
"Change X to Y"
Configuration or dependency updates

Complexity Signals

When a task matches a workflow command, check complexity before suggesting:

Trivial signals (suggest $elixir-phoenix:phx-quick or handle directly):

Single file mentioned explicitly
"exclude X from Y", "add X to config", "rename", "change X to Y"
Problem + solution both stated ("X is wrong, change to Y")
One-line fix described

Complex signals (suggest $elixir-phoenix:phx-plan or $elixir-phoenix:phx-investigate):

3+ modules or files mentioned
"intermittent", "race condition", "sometimes", "random"
Stack trace with 5+ frames
"across", "all", "every" (scope indicators)

Override rule: If user invokes $elixir-phoenix:phx-full but task matches trivial signals: "This looks like a quick fix. Want $elixir-phoenix:phx-quick instead, or stick with the full cycle?"

Iron Laws

NEVER block on suggestion — If user starts explaining, just do the work
One suggestion max — Don't re-suggest if user ignores first suggestion
Commands are shortcuts, not gates — All work can be done without commands

Routing Logic Example

if has_slash_command($ARGUMENTS) -> follow command directly
elif has_stack_trace(message) -> suggest $elixir-phoenix:phx-investigate
elif matches("add|build|implement", message) and multi_step -> suggest $elixir-phoenix:phx-plan
elif matches("fix", message) and small_scope -> handle directly or $elixir-phoenix:phx-quick
elif matches("review|audit", message) -> suggest $elixir-phoenix:phx-review
else -> handle directly (no suggestion)

Integration

This skill is consulted at session start. It works alongside:

SessionStart hook (shows plugin loaded message)
CLAUDE.md routing instructions (passive reference)
Individual workflow skills (activated by commands)
