document
Generate @moduledoc/@doc for tested Elixir features; may update their README section or ADR. Not for docs lookup, documentation audits/reviews, or capturing standalone decisions.
npx skills add oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix --skill document --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Document Generate documentation for newly implemented features. ## Usage ``` /phx:document .claude/plans/magic-link-auth/plan.md /phx:document magic link authentication /phx:document # Auto-detect from recent plan ``` ## Iron Laws 1. **Never remove existing documentation** — Existing docs may reflect design intent that isn't obvious from code alone; update rather than replace 2. **@moduledoc on every public module** — Undocumented modules accumulate quickly and create onboarding friction for new team members 3. **ADRs capture the "why", not the "what"** — Code shows what was built; ADRs explain why this approach was chosen over alternatives 4. **Match @doc to function's public API** — Document parameters, return values, and edge cases; callers shouldn't need to read the implementation 5. **DO NOT add @doc to untested code** — documentation implies a stable contract; document only after tests confirm the function behaves as described ## What Gets Documented | Output | Description | |--------|-------------| | `@moduledoc` | For new modules missing documentation | | `@doc` | For public functions without docs | | README section | For user-facing features | | ADR | For significant arc

What does the document skill do?
Generate @moduledoc/@doc for tested Elixir features; may update their README section or ADR. Not for docs lookup, documentation audits/reviews, or capturing standalone decisions.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix --skill document --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix, a repository with 515 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
