phx:techdebt — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited phx:techdebt (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.

Find and eliminate duplicate code patterns, anti-patterns, and refactoring opportunities in Elixir/Phoenix projects.
Run mix credo --strict.
Focus on:
Use Grep to search for repeated Repo calls (Repo.get!, Repo.get, Repo.one) in lib/**/*.ex. Use Grep to find duplicate query patterns (from.*in.*where) in lib/**/*.ex.
Use Grep with output_mode: "count" to count def changeset occurrences in lib/**/*.ex. Use Grep to find repeated validations (validate_required, validate_format) in lib/**/*.ex.
Use Grep to find similar action patterns (def create, def update, def delete) in lib/*_web/**/*.ex.
| Pattern | Symptom | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Repeated queries | Same Repo.get in multiple contexts | Create shared query module |
| Duplicate validations | Same validate_* calls | Extract to shared changeset |
| Similar controllers | Copy-pasted CRUD actions | Use Phoenix generators consistently |
| Repeated transforms | Same Enum.map patterns | Extract to domain module |
For each duplication found, report:
Run /phx:techdebt to analyze the codebase and generate a prioritized report of technical debt with specific remediation steps.
