elixir-phoenix-challenge

elixir-phoenix-challenge is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ccarvalho-eng/codex-elixir-phoenix. It costs 19 tokens per session (1,119 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of challenge, MIT.

A critical review guide for Phoenix changes that asks difficult questions before approval. Phoenix is a web framework for Elixir, and the guide examines database changes, code behavior, tests, and production failure cases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to stress-test changes before merging or approving them. It can question migration safety, query behavior, edge cases, contradictions between code and tests, and failures under load or during deployment.
Why use it?
It helps uncover bugs, race conditions, missing handlers, unsafe migrations, and assumptions that ordinary review may miss. The review requires evidence such as tests, state changes, and verified behavior.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

elixir-phoenix-challenge scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to challenge — 20 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Challenge Mode Reviews

Rigorous, critical review patterns inspired by Boris Cherny's "Grill me" approach. Push beyond first solutions to ensure quality.

Iron Laws - Never Violate These

  1. No approval without verification - Don't approve until all concerns addressed
  2. Assume bugs exist - Look for edge cases, race conditions, missing handlers
  3. Question everything - Even "obvious" code can hide issues
  4. Demand proof - Ask for tests, show state transitions, verify behavior

Adversarial Lenses (Apply to ALL Modes)

  1. "What Would Break This?" — Production failure modes under load, during deploys, with unexpected data
  2. "Assumption Stress Test" — List every assumption; which are most fragile?
  3. "Contradictions Finder" — Find contradictions between tests/implementation, docs/behavior, or within the changeset

Challenge Modes

Ecto Challenge (``elixir-phoenix-challenge ecto)

Grill the developer on database changes:

Migration Safety

  • Will this migration lock the table in production?
  • What happens to existing records without the new field?
  • Is the migration reversible?
  • Are there any unsafe operations (column removal, type change)?

Query Performance

  • Have you introduced any N+1 queries?
  • Are there missing indexes for new WHERE clauses?
  • Will this query scale with data growth?

Schema Integrity

  • Are all constraints enforced at database level?
  • What happens during rolling deployment (old code, new schema)?
  • Are foreign key cascades correct?

Backward Compatibility

  • Will old code work during deployment?
  • Are there any breaking changes to the context API?

LiveView Challenge (``elixir-phoenix-challenge liveview)

Prove the LiveView handles all cases:

Event Coverage

  • List every handle_event clause and expected socket state
  • What happens if socket assigns are missing when event fires?
  • Are there race conditions between user events and server pushes?

PubSub Handling

  • List every handle_info clause and when it's triggered
  • Do all PubSub subscriptions have corresponding handlers?
  • What happens if a message arrives before mount completes?

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
