phx-work

phx-work is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix. It costs 43 tokens per session (2,015 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task runner for Elixir and Phoenix projects that follows a written implementation plan. It tracks progress in plan checkboxes and verifies work with compilation and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to execute planned feature work, continue from a specific task, run checks after each task, and continue through plan phases when tasks finish.
Why use it?
It helps resume interrupted work and prevents tasks from being marked complete without verification or without recording blockers.

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-work 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 182 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Work

Execute tasks from a plan file with checkpoint tracking and verification.

Usage

phx-work .claude/plans/user-auth/plan.md
phx-work .claude/plans/user-auth/plan.md --from P2-T3
phx-work --skip-blockers
phx-work  # Resumes most recent plan

Arguments

  • <plan-file> -- Path to plan file (optional, auto-detects recent)
  • --from <task-id> -- Resume from specific task (e.g., P2-T3)
  • --skip-blockers -- Continue past blocked tasks
  • --continue -- Resume IN_PROGRESS plan from checkboxes

Iron Laws (NON-NEGOTIABLE)

  1. NEVER auto-proceed to phx-review or any next workflow phase -- always ask the user what to do next
  2. AUTO-CONTINUE between plan phases -- when Phase N completes, immediately start Phase N+1. Do NOT stop or ask for permission between phases. Only stop at BLOCKERS or when ALL phases are done.
  3. Plan checkboxes ARE the state -- [x] = done; [ ] = pending unless the row is visibly tagged [BLOCKED]. No separate JSON state files. Resume by reading the plan.
  4. Verify after EVERY task -- never skip verification
  5. Max 3 retries then BLOCKER -- don't keep retrying forever
  6. Stage specific files -- never use git add -A or git add .
  7. Read scratchpad BEFORE implementing -- scratchpad has dead-ends and decisions that prevent rework. Step 2 is not optional.
  8. Clarify ambiguous tasks -- ask the user rather than guessing when a plan task's intent is unclear

Step 1: Research Decision

Ask the user for plans with >3 tasks:

This plan has {count} remaining tasks across {count} phases.

  1. Start working -- Begin immediately (familiar patterns)
  2. Quick research -- Read source files first (~10 min)
  3. Extensive research -- Web search + docs (~30 min)

Skip for plans with 3 or fewer simple tasks -- just start.

Split warning: Plans with >10 tasks risk 2-3 context compactions. Suggest splitting via phx-plan if not already.

Step 2: Check Context (MANDATORY)

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.
