phx-compound

phx-compound is a skill for Claude Code from oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix. It costs 35 tokens per session (896 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of compound, MIT.

A way to turn solved, non-trivial engineering problems into searchable solution documents. It records the problem, investigation, cause, and fix for future team use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after fixing a bug or completing a successful review or investigation to document the solution in the project knowledge base.
Why use it?
It prevents teams from repeating the same investigation and preserves useful knowledge after a bug or difficult change is resolved.

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

phx-compound 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 6d 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

88% identical to compound — 33 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 110 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Compound — Capture Solutions as Knowledge

After fixing a problem, capture the solution as searchable institutional documentation.

Usage

phx-compound Fixed N+1 query in user listing
phx-compound Resolved LiveView timeout in dashboard
phx-compound   # Auto-detects from recent session context

Philosophy

Each unit of engineering work should make subsequent units easier — not harder.

Workflow

Step 1: Detect Context

  1. If $ARGUMENTS provided, use as description
  2. If no args, check scratchpad DEAD-END/DECISION entries, git diff, .claude/plans/{slug}/progress.md for recent completions
  3. If unclear, ask: "What problem did you just solve?"

Only document non-trivial problems that required investigation.

Step 2: Search Existing Solutions

Create .claude/solutions/ directory if it doesn't exist (run mkdir -p .claude/solutions). Then search .claude/solutions/ for relevant keywords using Grep.

If found: Create new (different root cause), Update existing (same root cause, new symptom), or Skip.

Step 3: Gather Details and Create Solution

Extract from session context: module, symptoms, investigation steps, root cause, solution code, and prevention advice.

Validate frontmatter against ../compound-docs/references/schema.md, then create file using ../compound-docs/references/resolution-template.md.

Write-blocked fallback: if writing to .claude/solutions/ is denied by permissions, do NOT silently drop the solution. Output the full solution doc inline (fenced markdown the user can paste), then suggest phx-permissions to allow .claude/solutions/ writes for next time.

Step 4: Decision Menu

  1. Continue (default)
  2. Promote to Iron Law check — Add to iron-law-judge
  3. Update skill reference — Add to relevant skill
  4. Update CLAUDE.md — Add prevention rule

Auto-Trigger Phrases

When user says "that worked", "it's fixed", "problem solved", "the fix was" — suggest phx-compound.

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.
