What it does
Phx Boundaries is an agent skill from oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix. Analyze Phoenix context boundaries and module coupling via mix xref. Use when checking cross-context calls…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/context-design.md` and `references/refactoring-boundaries.md`).
It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering LLM observability. 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.
When your agent uses it
- Checking cross-context calls…
- Tasks that involve LLM observability
Example prompts
- “/phx-boundaries”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Controllers call only contexts - No direct Repo access from web layer
- Schemas are pure data - No side effects, no Repo calls in schema modules
- Contexts own their schemas - Don't import schemas from other contexts
- Explicit dependencies only - Cross-context calls must be intentional
- DO NOT refactor context boundaries without running mix xref first — Refactoring without dependency data creates new violations; always map…
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 (its code samples are markdown).
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
Phx Boundaries loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 403 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Phoenix Context Boundary Validation
Analyze module dependencies to ensure clean context separation and proper architectural boundaries.
Usage
$elixir-phoenix:phx-boundaries # Check for violations
$elixir-phoenix:phx-boundaries --assess # Score context health (0-100)
$elixir-phoenix:phx-boundaries --fix # Suggest fixes for violations--assess Mode: Context Health Score
Evaluate overall boundary health with a quantified score.
Metrics Calculated
| Metric | Healthy Range | Red Flag | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Modules per context | 3-15 | >20 or <2 | 20% |
| Public API surface | 5-30 funcs | >40 funcs | 15% |
| Fan-out (contexts called) | 1-4 | >6 | 20% |
| Fan-in (called by contexts) | 1-6 | >10 | 15% |
| Circular dependencies | 0 | >0 | 15% |
| Boundary violations | 0 | >0 | 15% |
Commands for Assessment
Use Glob to count .ex files per context directory under lib/my_app/*/.
Use Grep to count public function definitions per context file under lib/my_app/*.ex.
Run mix xref graph --format stats for dependency analysis.
Run mix xref graph --format cycles --label compile for compile-time circular dependencies.
Output Format
## Context Health Assessment
### Overall Score: 82/100 (Good)
| Context | Modules | API | Fan-Out | Fan-In | Score |
|---------|---------|-----|---------|--------|-------|
| Accounts | 5 | 12 | 2 | 4 | 95 |
| Orders | 18 | 45 | 8 | 3 | 62 |
| Shared | 2 | 8 | 0 | 12 | 78 |
### Issues Found
1. **Orders** - Too large (18 modules, 45 funcs)
- Consider: Extract Fulfillment, Invoicing sub-contexts
2. **Orders** - High fan-out (8 contexts)
- Consider: Review if all dependencies necessary
### Recommendations
- Split Orders into Orders + Fulfillment
- Review Accounts ← Billing dependencyIron Laws - Never Violate These
- Controllers call only contexts - No direct Repo access from web layer
- Schemas are pure data - No side effects, no Repo calls in schema modules
- Contexts own their schemas - Don't import schemas from other contexts
- Explicit dependencies only - Cross-context calls must be intentional
- DO NOT refactor context boundaries without running
mix xreffirst — Refactoring without dependency data creates new violations; always map the dependency graph before moving modules
Dependency Rules
| Layer | Can Call | Cannot Call |
|---|---|---|
| Controllers | Contexts, Plug, Conn | Repo, Schemas directly |
| LiveViews | Contexts, Components, PubSub | Repo, Schemas directly |
| Contexts | Own schemas, Repo, other contexts | Web layer modules |
| Schemas | Ecto types, validations | Contexts, Repo |
Analysis Commands
Show full SKILL.md (162 more words)Show less
Check Compile Dependencies
Run mix xref graph --label compile-connected.
Find What Depends on a Context
Run mix xref graph --sink MyApp.Accounts --label compile.
Find What a Module Calls
Run mix xref callers MyApp.Accounts.get_user!/1.
Check for Circular Dependencies
Run mix xref graph --format cycles --label compile.
Red Flags to Detect
| Issue | Detection Command | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Repo in web layer | grep -r "Repo\." lib/my_app_web/ | Move to context |
| Schema with queries | grep -r "import Ecto.Query" lib/my_app/**/schemas/ | Move queries to context |
| Cross-context schema import | grep -r "alias MyApp.Other.Schema" lib/my_app/ctx/ | Call context API |
| Business logic in LiveView | grep -r "Repo\.|Ecto\.Multi" lib/my_app_web/live/ | Extract to context |
Boundary Verification Process
- Run
mix xref graph --label compile-connectedfor overview - Check for context cross-contamination
- Verify no direct Repo calls from web layer
- Ensure schemas have no side effects
- Validate explicit cross-context dependencies
Next Steps
Always end with actionable follow-up — findings without a plan get lost:
- `$elixir-phoenix:phx-plan` — Create a plan to fix violations (recommended for 3+ issues)
- `$elixir-phoenix:phx-quick` — Fix a single boundary violation directly
- `$elixir-phoenix:phx-review` — Review specific modules for deeper issuesReferences
