mix-compression

mix-compression is a skill for Claude Code from oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix. It costs 48 tokens per session (1,076 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that shortens repetitive output from Elixir Mix commands such as tests, compilation, Credo checks, and Dialyzer analysis before it reaches the coding agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps compress Mix output during testing, debugging, compilation, and type-analysis sessions, with verification of the installed filters.
Why use it?
It keeps long successful command output from filling the conversation while preserving failures, warnings, and stack traces.

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

mix-compression 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 5d 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.

Mix Output Compression

Mix commands (mix test, mix credo, mix dialyzer, mix compile) emit verbose, repetitive output that consumes context fast. This skill installs rtk — a CLI proxy that filters tool output before it lands in the transcript.

The filters short-circuit happy paths to a single line (mix test: all pass) while preserving full failure blocks, compile errors, and stack traces. Net win: 5-15% per-session token reduction on mix-heavy workflows.

When to use

  • Long sessions/phx:work or /phx:full hitting context limits from mix output
  • Debugging loops/phx:investigate retrying mix compile/mix test repeatedly
  • Dialyzer-heavy projectsmix dialyzer output dominates the transcript

Iron Laws

  1. NEVER strip critical signals — compile errors (** (CompileError), == Compilation error in), test failures (FAILURES, 0 failures — preserved even on short-circuit), dialyzer warnings, and stack traces with file:line MUST pass through unchanged
  2. Verify after install — run rtk verify (or rtk verify --filter mix-test) to confirm the bundled test fixtures pass before declaring success
  3. Never overwrite existing .rtk/filters.toml — diff and merge instead

Workflow

Step 1: Detect rtk

which rtk && rtk --version

Read ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/install.md if rtk is missing — covers homebrew install + shell hook setup.

Step 2: Seed .rtk/filters.toml

Reference filters live at ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/rtk-filters.toml. Six production-tested filters covering:

  • mix-test — short-circuits all-pass, preserves failure blocks + compile errors
  • mix-credo — collapses clean runs, preserves violation blocks
  • mix-dialyzer — drops PLT progress, keeps warnings + summary
  • mix-deps-get — collapses unchanged package lists
  • mix-ecto-migrate — strips compile prefix, short-circuits "already up"
  • mix-compile — handles parallel worker prefixes (N>) and MIX_ENV
