intent-detection
Route ambiguous or mixed Phoenix/LiveView/Ecto requests before choosing a workflow. Use when user is unsure where to start/how to approach work, asks for the right workflow, or combines intents such as fixing and refactoring. NOT for a clear task.

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.
# Intent Detection — Workflow Routing When user describes work WITHOUT specifying a `/phx:` command, analyze their intent and suggest the appropriate workflow BEFORE starting work. **Hard guard — check FIRST**: if the message starts with any slash command (`/phx:`, `/ecto:`, `/lv:`, or any other `/command`), this skill does not apply. Follow the invoked command directly — no routing analysis, no suggestion, zero output from this skill. ## Routing Table | Signal | Detected Intent | Suggest | |--------|----------------|---------| | "bug", "error", "crash", "failing", "broken", stack trace | Bug investigation | `/phx:investigate` | | "brainstorm", "explore idea", "not sure what I need", "vague idea", "let's discuss", "how to approach" | Ideation/requirements | `/phx:brainstorm` | | "add", "implement", "build", "create" + multi-step | New feature | `/phx:plan` | | "review", "check", "audit" code | Code review | `/phx:review` | | "fix" + small/specific scope | Quick fix | handle directly or `/phx:quick` | | "refactor", "clean up", "improve" | Refactoring | `/phx:plan` (needs scope) | | "research", "how to", "what's the best" | Research | `/phx:research` | | "evaluate", "compare", "adopt

What does the intent-detection skill do?
Route ambiguous or mixed Phoenix/LiveView/Ecto requests before choosing a workflow. Use when user is unsure where to start/how to approach work, asks for the right workflow, or combines intents such as fixing and refactoring. NOT for a clear task.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix --skill intent-detection --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.
