What it does

Phx Compound is an agent skill from oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix. Capture solved problems as searchable solution docs. Use after fixing bugs, when "that worked", or after successful…

Its SKILL.md is about 970 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/compound-workflow.md`).

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.

Example prompts

  • “that worked”
  • “/phx-compound”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Detect Context
  2. Search Existing Solutions
  3. Gather Details and Create Solution
  4. Decision Menu

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 Compound loads about 969 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 392 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~969
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.8k

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.

Compound — Capture Solutions as Knowledge

After fixing a problem, capture the solution as searchable institutional documentation.

Usage

$elixir-phoenix:phx-compound Fixed N+1 query in user listing
$elixir-phoenix:phx-compound Resolved LiveView timeout in dashboard
$elixir-phoenix:phx-compound   # Auto-detects from recent session context

Philosophy

Each unit of engineering work should make subsequent units easier — not harder.

Workflow

Step 1: Detect Context
  1. If $ARGUMENTS provided, use as description
  2. If no args, check scratchpad DEAD-END/DECISION entries, git diff, .claude/plans/{slug}/progress.md for recent completions
  3. If unclear, ask: "What problem did you just solve?"

Only document non-trivial problems that required investigation.

Step 2: Search Existing Solutions

Create .claude/solutions/ directory if it doesn't exist (run mkdir -p .claude/solutions). Then search .claude/solutions/ for relevant keywords using Grep.

If found: Create new (different root cause), Update existing (same root cause, new symptom), or Skip.

Step 3: Gather Details and Create Solution

Extract from session context: module, symptoms, investigation steps, root cause, solution code, and prevention advice.

Validate frontmatter against ../compound-docs/references/schema.md, then create file using ../compound-docs/references/resolution-template.md.

Write-blocked fallback: if writing to .claude/solutions/ is denied by permissions, do NOT silently drop the solution. Output the full solution doc inline (fenced markdown the user can paste), then suggest $elixir-phoenix:phx-permissions to allow .claude/solutions/ writes for next time.

Step 4: Decision Menu
  1. Continue (default)
  2. Promote to Iron Law check — Add to iron-law-judge
  3. Update skill reference — Add to relevant skill
  4. Update CLAUDE.md — Add prevention rule

Auto-Trigger Phrases

When user says "that worked", "it's fixed", "problem solved", "the fix was" — suggest $elixir-phoenix:phx-compound.

Show full SKILL.md (164 more words)Show less
Supply-chain finding auto-feed (Phase 3)

When $elixir-phoenix:phx-deps-audit produces a BLOCK-severity finding that the user investigates and confirms is a real malicious pattern (not a false positive), suggest:

Caught a high-severity finding in <pkg>@<version>. Run $elixir-phoenix:phx-compound to capture this for future audits?

If accepted, the resulting solution doc goes to .claude/solutions/supply-chain/<pkg>-<cve_or_pattern>.md and includes the exact rule-id + snippet + diff window that triggered the finding. This compounds the audit corpus: future runs of $elixir-phoenix:phx-deps-audit grep solutions/supply-chain/ for snippet matches and pre-elevate severity on known-bad patterns.

Always prompt; never auto-write. Solution docs are durable and shape future trust calls — the user reviews before committing.

Iron Laws

  1. YAML frontmatter validates or STOP
  2. Symptoms must be specific — not "it broke"
  3. Root cause is WHY, not WHAT
  4. One problem per file
  5. NEVER document a fix before verifying it works — run mix compile && mix test first; unverified solutions poison the knowledge base
