phx:boundaries — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited phx:boundaries (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

| Metric | Healthy Range | Red Flag | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Modules per context | 3-15 | >20 or <2 | 20% |
| Public API surface | 5-30 funcs | >40 funcs | 15% |
| Fan-out (contexts called) | 1-4 | >6 | 20% |
| Fan-in (called by contexts) | 1-6 | >10 | 15% |
| Circular dependencies | 0 | >0 | 15% |
| Boundary violations | 0 | >0 | 15% |
Use Glob to count .ex files per context directory under lib/my_app/*/. Use Grep to count public function definitions per context file under lib/my_app/*.ex. Run mix xref graph --format stats for dependency analysis. Run mix xref graph --format cycles --label compile for compile-time circular dependencies.
## Context Health Assessment
### Overall Score: 82/100 (Good)
| Context | Modules | API | Fan-Out | Fan-In | Score |
|---------|---------|-----|---------|--------|-------|
| Accounts | 5 | 12 | 2 | 4 | 95 |
| Orders | 18 | 45 | 8 | 3 | 62 |
| Shared | 2 | 8 | 0 | 12 | 78 |
### Issues Found
1. **Orders** - Too large (18 modules, 45 funcs)
- Consider: Extract Fulfillment, Invoicing sub-contexts
2. **Orders** - High fan-out (8 contexts)
- Consider: Review if all dependencies necessary
### Recommendations
- Split Orders into Orders + Fulfillment
- Review Accounts ← Billing dependency| Layer | Can Call | Cannot Call |
|---|---|---|
| Controllers | Contexts, Plug, Conn | Repo, Schemas directly |
| LiveViews | Contexts, Components, PubSub | Repo, Schemas directly |
| Contexts | Own schemas, Repo, other contexts | Web layer modules |
| Schemas | Ecto types, validations | Contexts, Repo |
Run mix xref graph --label compile-connected.
Run mix xref graph --sink MyApp.Accounts --label compile.
Run mix xref callers MyApp.Accounts.get_user!/1.
Run mix xref graph --format cycles --label compile.
| Issue | Detection Command | Fix | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Repo in web layer | grep -r "Repo\." lib/my_app_web/ | Move to context | |
| Schema with queries | grep -r "import Ecto.Query" lib/my_app/**/schemas/ | Move queries to context | |
| Cross-context schema import | grep -r "alias MyApp.Other.Schema" lib/my_app/ctx/ | Call context API | |
| Business logic in LiveView | `grep -r "Repo\.\ | Ecto\.Multi" lib/my_app_web/live/` | Extract to context |
mix xref graph --label compile-connected for overviewAlways end with actionable follow-up — findings without a plan get lost:
- `/phx:plan` — Create a plan to fix violations (recommended for 3+ issues)
- `/phx:quick` — Fix a single boundary violation directly
- `/phx:review` — Review specific modules for deeper issuesFor detailed patterns, see:
