Can I search for packages not currently in my project?

Yes, the skill can fetch documentation or search the HexDocs API for any package available on Hex.pm, even if it is not a direct dependency.

Does it support the latest Elixir frameworks?

Absolutely. It works with any Hex package, including popular ones like Phoenix, Ecto, Ash Framework, Sobelow, and Credo.

How does the skill determine which package version to use?

It automatically parses your project's mix.lock or mix.exs file to ensure the documentation matches the exact version installed in your environment.

Where does the skill store fetched documentation?

Documentation is cached in .hex-docs/ and source code in .hex-packages/ within your project directory for high-speed local access.

Researches Elixir package documentation and source code to provide accurate implementation patterns and module usage examples.

Hex Documentation Search is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to streamline Elixir development by providing instant access to library documentation. It intelligently prioritizes local project dependencies and cached files before falling back to the HexDocs API or web searches. By fetching source code and @moduledoc attributes directly, it ensures that Claude can provide deep technical insights into packages like Phoenix, Ecto, and Ash, helping developers understand complex integration patterns and function signatures without leaving their terminal workflow.
