| Completions | With signature help and docs |
| Diagnostics | Compiler warnings and errors |
| File types | .ex, .exs, .heex, .leex |
Auto-runs mix format after editing .ex and .exs files.
Auto-runs mix compile --warnings-as-errors after editing .ex files.
.ex files (not .exs scripts/tests)mix.exs by walking up directoriesAuto-runs mix credo after editing .ex and .exs files to check code quality.
.ex and .exs filesParadigm-shifting skills for Elixir, Phoenix, and OTP development. Includes a SessionStart hook that auto-suggests skills when working on Elixir code.
Included skills:
| Skill | Use When |
|-------|----------|
| elixir-thinking | Designing modules, processes, data structures |
| phoenix-thinking | Working with Phoenix, LiveView, PubSub |
| ecto-thinking | Working with Ecto, contexts, schemas |
| otp-thinking | Implementing GenServers, supervisors, Tasks |
Mental models for writing Elixir — how it differs from OOP.
| Concept | Insight | |---------|---------| | Iron Law | NO PROCESS WITHOUT A RUNTIME REASON | | Three dimensions | Behavior, state, mutability are decoupled | | Processes | For runtime (state/concurrency/faults), not code organization | | "Let it crash" | Means "let it heal" — supervisors restart | | Polymorphism | Behaviors → Protocols → Message passing (least to most dynamic) |
Architectural patterns for Phoenix and LiveView.
| Concept | Insight |
|---------|---------|
| Where to load data | mount/3 by default; handle_params/3 for live navigation (push_patch) |
| Initial double-load | mount and handle_params both run twice; use connected?/1, assign_async/3, or assign_new/3 |
| Scopes (1.8+) | Security-first authorization threading |
| PubSub | Scoped topics, broadcast_from to avoid self-broadcast |
| Channel fastlane | Socket state can be stale — re-fetch or include in broadcast |
Architectural patterns for Ecto and contexts.
| Concept | Insight |
|---------|---------|
| Contexts | Bounded domains with their own "dialect" |
| Cross-context refs | Use IDs, not belongs_to associations |
| Schemas | Multiple changesets per schema, embedded_schema for forms |
| Preloads | Separate vs join — pick based on data shape |
| pool_count vs pool_size | pool_count = DBConnection pools, pool_size = connections per pool |
OTP design patterns and when to use each abstraction.
| Concept | Insight |
|---------|---------|
| Iron Law | GENSERVER IS A BOTTLENECK BY DESIGN |
| ETS | Bypasses bottleneck — concurrent reads with :read_concurrency |
| Task.Supervisor | THE pattern for async work (not raw Task.async) |
| Registry + DynamicSupervisor | Named dynamic processes without atom leaks |
| Broadway vs Oban | External queues vs background jobs — different problems |
elixir-lsp: client/registerCapability workaround. Claude Code's LSP client doesn't respond to client/registerCapability requests that Expert sends during initialization (anthropics/claude-code#32595). The plugin includes a Python wrapper (expert-wrapper) that intercepts these requests and auto-responds so Expert can initialize properly. The wrapper will be removed once the upstream fix lands. Requires Python 3 on PATH.
