Is the Elixir Genius skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from agoodway/.claude. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Elixir Genius SkillProof Score?

9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 4/5.

How do I install Elixir Genius?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Elixir Genius with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 16, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 433da66

Produced a materially more prescriptive architecture brief than a baseline Elixir answer: it forces specific library choices (Req not HTTPoison, Jason not Poison), integer-cents money fields, optimistic locking, and a full ADR/guardrail/handoff doc package — but it ships as a raw personal dotfiles repo with zero README, and its allowed-tools list grants mcp__tidewave__* and mcp__context7__* MCP tools that the skill body never actually calls.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Elixir Genius does

A 1300-line architecture-and-idiom reference for Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView/Ecto projects: prescribes specific libraries (Req, Jason, Swoosh, Zoi), OTP and money-handling patterns, and a Dave-Thomas-style multi-app doc structure (guardrails, ADRs, handoff docs) meant to let a Director/Implementor AI pair build a system without re-asking architectural questions. Use when designing or documenting a new Elixir/Phoenix system, planning supervision trees, or preparing AI-to-AI handoff docs.

How to install Elixir Genius

git clone https://github.com/agoodway/.claude.git
