phx-trace SKILL.md skillA

phx-trace from oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix/phx-trace@git:20260929.c08ad14

Pins git:20260929.c08ad14 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when debugging how a value or request reaches Elixir code, finding.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Call Tracing

Build call trees showing how functions are reached from entry points.

## Iron Laws - Never Violate These

1. **Always use `mix xref callers` first** - It's authoritative; grep is fallback only
2. **Stop at entry points** - Controllers, LiveView callbacks, Oban workers, GenServer callbacks
3. **Track visited MFAs** - Prevent infinite loops from circular calls
4. **Extract argument patterns** - Just knowing "who calls" isn't enough; HOW they call matters
5. **Max depth 10** - Deeper trees indicate architectural issues, not useful traces

## When to Build Call Tree (Use Proactively)

| Condition | Why Call Tree Helps |
|-----------|---------------------|
| Unexpected nil/value at runtime | Trace where the value originates |
| Bug can't reproduce locally | See all entry points that reach the code |
| Changing function signature | Find all callers and their argument patterns |
| Incomplete stack trace | Get full path context |
| "Where does X come from?" | Visual answer to data flow question |

## Quick Trace

Run the caller query first, then inspect another function in the chain as needed:

```bash
mix xref callers MyApp.Accounts.update_user/2
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix/phx-trace@sha256:c554478d8d40b0a9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.c08ad14, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
