This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
CRITICAL: Read AGENTS.md First
Before starting any work in this repository, you MUST read AGENTS.md in the project root.
AGENTS.mdcontains comprehensive Phoenix/LiveView/Elixir guidelines that are mandatory for this project- These guidelines take precedence over general development practices when there's a conflict
- Always read
AGENTS.mdat the start of a new conversation or when resuming work - Follow the project-specific patterns, conventions, and constraints documented there
Project Overview
Towerops is a Phoenix 1.8 web application built with Elixir, using Ecto for database operations (PostgreSQL), LiveView for real-time interactions, and Tailwind CSS v4 for styling.

Key Relationships:
- User can own/belong to multiple Organizations
- Organization has default_agent_token_id (optional)
- Equipment belongs to both Site and Organization (denormalized)
- Equipment can be assigned to one AgentToken via AgentAssignment
- Equipment has one SNMPDevice with Sensors and Interfaces
- Equipment has many MonitoringChecks (polling results)
- Equipment has many Alerts (equipment_down, equipment_up)
- AgentToken authenticates remote agents for local SNMP polling
Note to AI assistants: When you make changes to the data model (migrations, schema additions, new contexts), update this diagram to reflect the current state.
Essential Commands
Setup and Development
mix setup- Install dependencies, create/migrate database, setup and build assetsmix phx.server- Start the Phoenix server (accessible at http://localhost:4000)iex -S mix phx.server- Start server with interactive Elixir shell
Testing and Quality
mix test- Run all tests (automatically creates and migrates test database)mix test test/path/to/specific_test.exs- Run a specific test filemix test --failed- Re-run only previously failed testsmix test --cover- Run tests with coverage report (generates HTML report incover/directory)mix precommit- Run before committing: compiles with warnings as errors, unlocks unused deps, formats code, and runs tests
Coverage Target: 90% minimum (currently configured threshold)
- Coverage reports show line-by-line coverage in
cover/directory - View detailed HTML report:
open cover/modules_*.html - Current status: 60.40% overall (as of Jan 12, 2026, 6:35 PM)
- Recent improvements (Session 1):
- Towerops.Snmp: 10.87% → 97.83% (+87%)

Coverage Notes:
- Protobuf-generated modules (Towerops.Agent.*) show 0% but don't need tests

Assets
mix assets.build- Build CSS and JS assets (Tailwind + esbuild)mix assets.deploy- Build minified assets for production
Architecture
Application Structure
The application follows standard Phoenix conventions with clear separation between business logic (lib/towerops/) and web interface (lib/towerops_web/):
-
Towerops.Application - OTP application that supervises:
- Telemetry for metrics
- Repo (Ecto) for database
- DNSCluster for service discovery
- PubSub for pub/sub messaging
- Endpoint (web server)
-
ToweropsWeb - Main web module that provides
usemacros for::router- Route definitions:controller- Traditional request/response controllers:live_view- LiveView modules:live_component- LiveView component modules:html- Phoenix.Component modules
Key Configuration Details
- Binary IDs: Generators use binary (UUID) primary keys by default (
binary_id: true) - Timestamps: Use
:utc_datetimefor all timestamps - Web server: Uses Bandit adapter (not Cowboy)
- HTTP client: Uses
:reqlibrary (Req module) - this is the only approved HTTP client - Ecto repos:
[Towerops.Repo]
Web Layer Patterns
All LiveViews, LiveComponents, and HTML modules automatically get these imports/aliases via html_helpers/0:
ToweropsWeb.CoreComponents- Core UI components (<.button>,<.input>,<.form>, etc.)ToweropsWeb.Layouts- Layout components (aliased, no need to re-alias)Phoenix.LiveView.JS- Client-side JS commands- Gettext for translations
- Verified routes with
~psigil
Asset Pipeline
- Tailwind CSS v4: Uses new
@import "tailwindcss"syntax inassets/css/app.css, notailwind.config.jsneeded - esbuild: Bundles JavaScript from
assets/js/app.js - All vendor scripts/styles must be imported into app.js/app.css - cannot reference external src/href in layouts
- No inline
<script>tags in templates - use colocated LiveView hooks instead
Development Environment
- Dev routes enabled for:
- LiveDashboard at
/dev/dashboard - Swoosh mailbox preview at
/dev/mailbox
- LiveDashboard at
- Phoenix LiveReload watches for file changes
- Code reloader enabled via
listeners: [Phoenix.CodeReloader]
Project-Specific Constraints
Key constraints from AGENTS.md (see that file for complete details):
- Use
mix precommitbefore committing changes - Use
:req(Req) for all HTTP requests - never use:httpoison,:tesla, or:httpc - Never use
daisyUI- write custom Tailwind components for world-class design - LiveView templates must start with
<Layouts.app flash={@flash}> - Use
<.icon name="hero-x-mark">component for icons, never Heroicons modules - Use LiveView streams for collections to avoid memory issues
- Forms must use
to_form/2in LiveView and<.form for={@form}>in templates - Never access changesets directly in templates - always use the form assign
- Tailwind v4 uses new import syntax - never use
@applyin CSS - when adding/updating hex modules, only use https://hex.pm
- assets are rebuilt on save and don't need to be built with mix assets.build
- be sure to always run mix format after you modify an elixir file
- when you run mix format, don't specify a file, let it format everything
Testing Patterns
SNMP Mocking with Mox
The application uses Mox for SNMP client mocking in tests. Key patterns:
SNMP Adapter Mock Format:
snmp_adapter().get/3returns{:ok, value}or{:error, reason}snmp_adapter().walk/3returns{:ok, [%{oid: "...", value: ...}]}(list of maps, NOT a map)- Values from
get/3are already extracted (no type wrapper needed in mocks)
Mock Expectations:
# Mock get_multiple - it calls get/3 once per OID
expect(SnmpMock, :get, 6, fn _target, oid, _opts ->
case oid do
"1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0" -> {:ok, "Cisco IOS Software"} # sysDescr
"1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0" -> {:ok, [1, 3, 6, 1, 4, 1, 9]} # sysObjectID
"1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0" -> {:ok, 12_345} # sysUpTime (integer)
"1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0" -> {:ok, "admin@example.com"} # sysContact
"1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0" -> {:ok, "test-device"} # sysName
"1.3.6.1.2.1.1.6.0" -> {:ok, "Test Location"} # sysLocation
end
end)
# Mock walk - returns list of OID/value maps
expect(SnmpMock, :walk, fn _target, _oid, _opts ->
{:ok, [
%{oid: "1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.91.1.1.1.1.1.1000", value: 8}
]}
end)
# Empty walk result (no data found)
expect(SnmpMock, :walk, fn _, _, _ ->
{:ok, []} # NOT {:ok, %{}}
end)
Common Pitfalls:
- ❌ Returning
{:ok, %{}}from walk - should be{:ok, []} - ❌ Returning type wrappers like
{:integer, 123}- values are already extracted - ❌ Not matching OIDs in get expectations - use pattern matching on OID string
- ❌ Expecting wrong number of calls -
get_multiple/2callsget/3once per OID
TimescaleDB Tests:
- Tests that query continuous aggregates should be tagged with
@tag :skip - Reason: Test database doesn't have TimescaleDB continuous aggregates configured
- Example:
get_hourly_stats/3,get_daily_stats/3,get_uptime_percentage/1
Test Organization
- Use
DataCasefor tests that need database access - Use
ConnCasefor controller/LiveView tests - Use
async: truefor tests that can run in parallel (most unit tests) - Use
async: falsefor tests with shared state (supervisor tests, integration tests) - never open the test coverage html files
