phx-perf

phx-perf is a skill for Claude Code from oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix. It costs 46 tokens per session (976 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of perf, MIT.

A performance-analysis workflow for Elixir and Phoenix applications. It examines database queries, LiveView memory use, and OTP processes; OTP is Elixir’s system for running concurrent, reliable processes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate N+1 database queries, oversized LiveView state, or bottlenecks in background and concurrent processes.
Why use it?
It helps locate the cause of slowness, timeouts, or high memory use before changing code.

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-perf 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

94% identical to perf — 26 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.

Performance Analysis

Analyze code for performance issues across Ecto, LiveView, and OTP layers. Prioritize findings by impact and effort.

Usage

phx-perf                           # Analyze full project
phx-perf lib/my_app/accounts.ex    # Analyze specific module
phx-perf --focus ecto              # Ecto queries only
phx-perf --focus liveview          # LiveView memory only
phx-perf --focus otp               # OTP bottlenecks only

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS = Optional module/context path and --focus flag.

Iron Laws

  1. MEASURE BEFORE OPTIMIZING — Never optimize without evidence of a problem
  2. DATABASE FIRST — 90% of Elixir performance issues are query-related
  3. ONE CHANGE AT A TIME — Isolate optimizations to measure impact
  4. NEVER benchmark in dev mode — Always use MIX_ENV=prod for performance measurements; dev mode includes code reloading, debug logging, and unoptimized compilation that invalidate results

Workflow

Step 1: Identify Scope

Check specific file if provided. Otherwise scan full project:

# Find hot paths: contexts, LiveViews, workers
find lib/ -name "*.ex" | head -50

Step 2: Run Analysis Tracks

Spawn analysis agents in parallel based on focus:

Ecto Track (default or --focus ecto):

Spawn phx:elixir-reviewer with prompt: "Analyze for N+1 queries, missing preloads, unindexed queries, and inefficient patterns. Check: Repo.all in loops, Enum.map with Repo calls, missing preload, queries without indexes on WHERE/JOIN columns."

LiveView Track (default or --focus liveview):

Spawn phx:elixir-reviewer with prompt: "Analyze LiveViews for memory issues: large assigns, missing streams for lists, assigns that grow unbounded, heavy handle_info processing, missing assign_async for slow ops."

OTP Track (only with --focus otp):

Spawn phx:otp-advisor with prompt: "Analyze for OTP bottlenecks: GenServer mailbox growth, synchronous calls in hot paths, missing Task.async for parallel work, ETS opportunities for read-heavy state."

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.
