About this skill

What it does

The phx:investigate skill allows an AI agent to inspect and understand the structure of Elixir Phoenix applications. It can analyze routes, controllers, views, templates, and other components within a Phoenix project. This enables the agent to provide insights into application logic, identify potential issues, or generate documentation based on the codebase.

When to use it

  • Debugging: When encountering unexpected behavior in a Phoenix application, use this skill to examine relevant code sections (routes, controllers) and pinpoint the source of the problem.
  • Code Understanding: For onboarding new developers or quickly grasping unfamiliar Phoenix projects, phx:investigate can provide a structured overview of the application's architecture.
  • Documentation Generation: Automate the creation of basic documentation by having the agent analyze routes and controllers to generate summaries of their functionality.
  • Refactoring Assistance: Before undertaking significant refactoring efforts, use this skill to understand dependencies and potential impacts on other parts of the application.

Key capabilities

  • Route analysis
  • Controller inspection
  • View examination
  • Template structure understanding
  • Component identification

Example prompts

  • "Describe the routes defined in this Phoenix project."
  • "What controllers handle requests for /users?"
  • "Show me the template used to render the user profile page."
  • “Analyze the dependencies of the UserController.”

Tips & gotchas

  • The agent requires access to the Elixir Phoenix project's codebase. Ensure it has appropriate permissions and context.
