Live repository

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 passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

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

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    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.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

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

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    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.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned personamanagmentlayer/pcl at 79ccaa9820.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This Elixir expert skill provides specialized programming assistance within the Erlang/Elixir ecosystem. It helps agents write, debug, and optimize functional code specifically tailored to Phoenix frameworks and BEAM virtual machine constraints.

When to use it

  • Developing backend services using the Phoenix framework or GenServer processes.
  • Debugging concurrency issues specific to the Erlang VM (BEAM).
  • Writing OTP-compliant libraries or applications requiring strict process supervision trees.
  • Refactoring legacy Elixir codebases for better performance and maintainability.

Key capabilities

  • Generates idiomatic Elixir syntax adhering to functional programming principles.
  • Implements complex logic using GenServers, Agents, and Task processes.
  • Debugs runtime errors common in distributed Erlang systems.
  • Optimizes code for the BEAM virtual machine's garbage collection and scheduling.

Example prompts

  • "Create a GenServer to manage user sessions with automatic timeout handling."
  • "Debug this Phoenix LiveView component that is causing a race condition on page load."
  • "Refactor this list of functions into a recursive implementation using tail recursion optimization."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your agent understands the distinction between standard Elixir and OTP-specific behaviors, as generic functional advice may not apply to distributed systems. Always verify that generated code adheres to strict naming conventions required by the Erlang runtime environment.
