Elixir New Project

Create or bootstrap an Elixir/Phoenix project or package with Igniter and VibeKit. Use only for new-project generation or applying initial quality/tooling setup; use elixir for an existing backend project and elixir-web for existing UI/frontend work.

New Elixir Project with Igniter/VibeKit

Use this skill only for creation/bootstrap work. Prefer Elixir 1.20+ with OTP 27+ for new projects when available; preserve the supported toolchain of existing projects.

Before generating:

Read project-local instructions and any user-provided VibeKit checkout first; never assume a filesystem path.
Otherwise verify current package/installer behavior from published docs or metadata rather than hard-coding versions.
Confirm project type, name/path, database, and optional web packages when unclear.

Phoenix/web application:

mix phx.new my_app
cd my_app
mix igniter.install vibe_kit --agents-md
mix igniter.install volt
mix igniter.install phoenix_replay phoenix_iconify

Library/non-web project:

mix igniter.new my_lib --install vibe_kit --agents-md

Existing project receiving initial VibeKit setup:

mix igniter.install vibe_kit --agents-md

Use Phoenix + Igniter + VibeKit as the baseline. Add Volt, PhoenixReplay, and PhoenixIconify when appropriate to the requested web stack, following current installer output/docs. Do not add phoenix_vapor by default.

Keep VibeKit's strict defaults unless requested otherwise: project CI alias, warnings-as-errors, tests, strict Credo/ExSlop, Dialyzer, ExDNA, and Reach. Change installer behavior through Igniter APIs rather than raw text edits.

After generation, run focused checks followed by:

mix deps.get
mix ci

Verify generated files and installer idempotency. Do not publish, tag, create a remote repository, or overwrite an existing project unless explicitly requested. Once bootstrap is complete, use elixir or elixir-web for subsequent implementation rather than keeping this skill loaded.
