BLOCKS shortcuts like modifying dialyzer.ignore or .credo.exs excludes. Enforces fixing actual problems. Use when encountering ANY error, warning, or quality tool complaint.
MANDATORY pre-check before ANY response - ensures you use applicable skills and follow best practices. Use this skill FIRST before responding to any Elixir/Phoenix request.
PROHIBITS placeholder code, default values that mask missing data, and silent failures. Enforces fail-fast with loud errors. Use when implementing ANY function or data structure.
MANDATORY systematic debugging - trace to root cause before proposing fixes. NO random changes, NO symptom fixes, NO "try this". Use when debugging ANY error or issue.
MANDATORY for ANY feature or bugfix - write ExUnit test FIRST, watch it FAIL, then implement. NO exceptions. Use before writing any Elixir production code.
MANDATORY verification before claiming anything works. Run actual commands, read actual output, provide evidence. Use when claiming tests pass, build succeeds, or code works.
Create, manage, and safely run Ecto database migrations with proper rollback handling and best practices. Use when working with database schema changes, adding columns, or modifying constraints.
Run comprehensive Elixir quality checks (format, credo, dialyzer, tests) with proper error handling and reporting. Use when validating code quality, before commits, or preparing for deployment.
