Can it help me migrate from simple processes to gen_server?

Yes, this skill provides the necessary structure and callback implementations to wrap raw Erlang processes into formal gen_server modules for better management and debugging.

What are Erlang OTP behaviors?

OTP behaviors are standardized design patterns in Erlang (like gen_server and supervisor) that handle the complex infrastructure of concurrent programming, such as message passing and error handling, allowing you to focus on business logic.

How does this skill help with fault tolerance?

It provides best-practice patterns for supervisor trees, which monitor child processes and automatically restart them according to specific strategies if they fail, ensuring high system availability.

Does it support the modern gen_statem behavior?

Absolutely. It includes patterns for gen_statem, which replaced gen_fsm, allowing for more flexible and powerful state machine implementations with state-enter events and transition actions.

API Development

Implements robust Erlang applications using standard OTP behaviors for state management, fault tolerance, and process coordination.

This Claude Code skill provides specialized guidance for developing production-grade Erlang applications using the Open Telecom Platform (OTP) framework. It enables Claude to expertly implement gen_server for stateful processes, gen_statem for complex state machines, and supervisor trees for resilient, self-healing systems. By leveraging these proven patterns, developers can focus on business logic while ensuring their Erlang systems maintain the high availability and concurrency standards the language is known for.
