How does this skill improve my Phoenix application?

It enforces the 'thin controller, fat context' pattern, ensuring your business logic is decoupled from your web interface for better testability and long-term maintenance.

Can I use this for API-only Phoenix projects?

Yes, it includes specific patterns for JSON-based Fallback Controllers and specialized API-only Plug pipelines.

What version of Phoenix is this compatible with?

The patterns follow modern Phoenix 1.7+ conventions, including the use of verified routes and updated directory structures.

Does it support custom authentication?

Absolutely, it provides implementation patterns for building custom Plugs to handle Bearer tokens and role-based authorization.

API Development

Implements Phoenix Framework best practices for context-driven architecture, robust controller patterns, and efficient Elixir web application development.

About

Phoenix Patterns is a specialized skill for Claude Code designed to guide developers through the architecture of Elixir-based web applications. It provides standardized templates and implementation patterns for Phoenix Contexts, RESTful controllers, and complex Plug pipelines. By enforcing separation of concerns and fat-context/thin-controller principles, this skill ensures that Elixir applications remain maintainable, scalable, and idiomatic, making it an essential tool for both greenfield projects and refactoring legacy Elixir codebases.
