Elixir OTP Patterns

About

This skill empowers Claude to architect and implement robust Elixir applications by leveraging the full power of OTP. It provides standardized patterns for state management via GenServers and Agents, concurrent execution with Tasks, and resilient system design through various Supervision strategies. Whether you are building a real-time messaging system, a complex background processing pipeline, or a high-availability API, this skill ensures your Elixir code follows professional standards for fault tolerance, process isolation, and horizontal scalability.

Key Features

• Dynamic and static Supervision strategies for resilient application trees
