INVOKE BEFORE working on Elixir/BEAM files. Determines which skills to load based on file patterns and task hints.
Use when
You open a file and are unsure which skill applies.
The request spans multiple areas (OTP + LiveView + Ash).
How it works
Scan current file path/name and pick matching skills:
lib/**/live/**/*.ex or lib/**/live_view/**/*.ex: load liveview-lifecycle.
lib/**/ash/** or *_ash/**: load ash-guardrails.
lib/**/ecto/** or priv/repo/migrations/*.exs: load ecto-query-analysis.
lib/**/otp/** or modules ending with Supervisor|Server|Worker: load otp-patterns.
If multiple match, list all; start with the most specific (Ash > LiveView > Ecto > OTP).
Response pattern
Summarize matched skills and why (1–2 bullets).
Ask before loading heavy checklists if context is large.
Notes
Keep outputs concise; point to tools/claude/README.md for deeper docs when asked.
