Quick Start

1. Choose the Right Agent

2. Use Skills for Specific Patterns

• WordPress Sage Theme: /developer-kit-php:wordpress-sage-theme for Sage-based WordPress development
• Clean Architecture: /developer-kit-php:clean-architecture for DDD and enterprise patterns
• AWS Lambda PHP: /developer-kit-php:aws-lambda-php-integration for serverless deployment

3. Coding Rules Apply Automatically

PHP files automatically get PSR-12 enforcement, naming conventions, and error handling guidelines based on the globs patterns in the rules directory.
