What it does

Phx Intro is an agent skill from oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix. Walk through the Elixir/Phoenix plugin commands, workflow; Use when a new user wants to learn what the plugin offers…

Its SKILL.md is about 550 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/tutorial-content.md`).

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.

When your agent uses it

  • A new user wants to learn what the plugin offers…
  • Tasks that involve LLM observability

Example prompts

  • “/phx-intro”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read references/tutorial-content.md for all section content
  2. Parse $ARGUMENTS for --section N flag (1-6)
  3. If --section N specified, jump directly to that section
  4. Otherwise start from Section 1

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

Phx Intro loads about 546 tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 263 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
~546
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.1k

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.

Plugin Introduction Tutorial

Interactive walkthrough of the Elixir/Phoenix plugin in 6 sections (~5 min).

Arguments

  • $ARGUMENTS may contain --section N to jump to a specific section (1-6)
  • No arguments = start from Section 1

Execution Flow

  1. Read references/tutorial-content.md for all section content
  2. Parse $ARGUMENTS for --section N flag (1-6)
  3. If --section N specified, jump directly to that section
  4. Otherwise start from Section 1
Section Presentation Loop

For each section:

  1. Present the section content completely — every paragraph, table, and code block from the reference file — as visible response text emitted BEFORE the AskUserQuestion call; content composed only in thinking is invisible to the user
  2. After presenting, use AskUserQuestion with options:
    • If sections remain: "Next: [next section title]", "Skip to Cheat Sheet", "Stop here"
    • If on final section (6): no question needed, end with closing message
Section Titles
NTitle
1Welcome
2Core Workflow Commands
3Knowledge & Safety Net
4Hooks & Behavioral Rules
5Init, Review & Gaps
6Cheat Sheet & Next Steps

Iron Laws

  1. ONE section at a time — never dump all content at once
  2. User controls pace — always offer to stop between sections
  3. Clean formatting — use tables and code blocks, not walls of text
  4. NEVER skip the user's questions — tutorial is interactive, not a monologue; if the user asks a question mid-section, answer it before continuing

Closing Message

After Section 6 (or when user stops):

You're all set! Try `$elixir-phoenix:phx-plan` with your next feature to see the workflow in action.
Run `$elixir-phoenix:phx-intro --section N` anytime to revisit a specific section.

Notes

  • This runs in main conversation context (not a subagent)
  • Reference file is readable since skill runs in user's session
  • Keep tone welcoming but concise — developers don't want fluff
