elixir-phoenix-hexdocs-fetcher

elixir-phoenix-hexdocs-fetcher is a skill for Codex from ccarvalho-eng/codex-elixir-phoenix. It costs 23 tokens per session (653 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A focused documentation fetcher for Elixir libraries hosted on HexDocs, the documentation site for Elixir packages. It retrieves library overview pages, module documentation, and guides for lookup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to look up Phoenix, Oban, LiveView, or other Elixir library documentation. It can discover relevant HexDocs pages and fetch their contents for focused research.
Why use it?
It reduces the amount of documentation that needs to be read when researching a specific library or module. This makes focused technical lookups easier when the correct HexDocs page is known or needs to be found.

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-hexdocs-fetcher 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 1mo 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.

HexDocs Fetcher

Efficiently fetch Elixir library documentation from hexdocs.pm using Codex web tools (web.search_query and web.open).

Usage

When researching libraries:

# Fetch library overview (known URL)
web.open("https://hexdocs.pm/oban")

# Fetch specific module docs
web.open("https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix_live_view/Phoenix.LiveView.html")

# Discover docs URL first, then open it
web.search_query("Oban.Worker site:hexdocs.pm")
web.open("{selected_result_url}")

Token Efficiency

Codex web tools extract page content so you can summarize key sections quickly:

Source Raw HTML With Codex web tools Benefit
HexDocs page ~80k tokens ~15k tokens 80% reduction
Phoenix docs ~120k tokens ~25k tokens 79% reduction
README ~20k tokens ~8k tokens 60% reduction

Integration with hex-library-researcher

When evaluating libraries, fetch docs efficiently:

web.open("https://hexdocs.pm/oban")

Common HexDocs URLs

# Library overview
https://hexdocs.pm/{library}

# Module documentation
https://hexdocs.pm/{library}/{Module}.html
https://hexdocs.pm/{library}/{Module.Submodule}.html

# Guides
https://hexdocs.pm/{library}/guides.html
https://hexdocs.pm/{library}/{guide-name}.html

# API reference
https://hexdocs.pm/{library}/api-reference.html

Extraction Strategies

Use focused extraction goals for better summaries:

# For API docs
Extract all public function docs with @spec and examples.

# For guides
Extract the complete guide content preserving code examples.

# For troubleshooting
Extract troubleshooting sections, common errors, and FAQs.

# For configuration
Extract configuration options and their defaults.

Caching

Codex may cache repeated fetches internally. Still prefer reusing prior notes within the same plan/research folder.

For longer persistence, save summaries under planning artifacts:

.codex/plans/{slug}/research/docs-oban.md

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.
