Conducts deep, multi-source research on Elixir, Phoenix, and Hex libraries to find patterns and best practices.
This skill empowers developers to explore the Elixir ecosystem by performing structured research across HexDocs, ElixirForum, and GitHub. It intelligently decomposes complex queries, utilizes Tidewave MCP for version-specific documentation, and spawns parallel agents to synthesize findings into concise, persistent markdown files. Whether evaluating a new Hex dependency or investigating a complex LiveView pattern, it provides evidence-based recommendations and code examples while strictly adhering to 'Iron Laws' that prevent chat overflow and ensure data persistence.
