Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 3 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: hex.pm, hexdocs.pm, search.hexdocs.pm.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to search the Hex.pm package registry documentation for Elixir libraries and modules. It can retrieve function signatures, module descriptions, and other relevant information directly from the official HexDocs. This enables users to quickly understand how to use Elixir packages without leaving their current workflow.

When to use it

  • When you need to quickly look up a specific Elixir function or module in a package.
  • To find examples of how to use an Elixir library.
  • For understanding the API surface area of a given Elixir package.
  • When troubleshooting errors and needing to understand the expected behavior of Elixir code.

Key capabilities

  • Searches Hex.pm documentation
  • Retrieves function signatures
  • Provides module descriptions

Example prompts

  • "What does String.contains? do?"
  • "Show me the documentation for the Phoenix.PubSub module."
  • "How can I use Ecto.Repo.all?"

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill relies on the accuracy and completeness of Hex.pm's documentation, which is maintained by package authors.
