php-pro
Use when building PHP applications with modern PHP 8.3+ features, Laravel, or Symfony frameworks. Invokes strict typing, PHPStan level 9, async patterns with Swoole, and PSR standards. Creates controllers, configures middleware, generates migrations, writes PHPUnit/Pest tests, defines typed DTOs and value objects, sets up dependency injection, and scaffolds REST/GraphQL APIs. Use when working with Eloquent, Doctrine, Composer, Psalm, ReactPHP, or any PHP API development.

Quality
Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is an excellent skill description that comprehensively covers PHP development capabilities with specific actions, abundant natural trigger terms, and clear 'Use when' guidance at both the start and end. The description is highly distinctive with PHP-ecosystem-specific terminology that minimizes conflict risk with other skills. Uses proper third-person voice throughout.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'Creates controllers, configures middleware, generates migrations, writes PHPUnit/Pest tests, defines typed DTOs and value objects, sets up dependency injection, and scaffolds REST/GraphQL APIs.' | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both what (creates controllers, configures middleware, generates migrations, etc.) AND when with explicit 'Use when' clauses at both the beginning and end, covering frameworks, tools, and development scenarios. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural terms users would say: 'PHP', 'Laravel', 'Symfony', 'Eloquent', 'Doctrine', 'Composer', 'PHPUnit', 'Pest', 'GraphQL', 'REST', 'migrations', 'middleware', 'controllers' - these are all terms developers naturally use. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive with PHP-specific triggers (PHP 8.3+, Laravel, Symfony, Eloquent, Doctrine, PHPStan, Swoole, PSR standards) that clearly distinguish it from other language or framework skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
100%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-crafted skill that exemplifies best practices: it's concise yet comprehensive, provides executable code patterns, has clear workflow with validation gates, and uses progressive disclosure effectively through the reference table. The MUST DO/MUST NOT DO constraints are specific and actionable, and the output templates give Claude clear deliverable structure.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is lean and efficient, assuming Claude's PHP competence. No unnecessary explanations of basic concepts—it jumps straight to patterns, constraints, and executable code without padding. | 3 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides fully executable, copy-paste ready code examples for DTOs, services, tests, and enums. Commands for PHPStan and PHPUnit are specific and concrete. The MUST DO/MUST NOT DO lists give explicit, actionable constraints. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The Core Workflow section provides a clear 5-step sequence with explicit validation checkpoints (step 5 requires PHPStan and tests to pass before delivery). The 'Only deliver when both pass clean' creates a proper feedback loop for error recovery. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | Excellent structure with a concise overview, reference table pointing to one-level-deep topic files, and clear navigation. Content is appropriately split between inline patterns and external references for deeper topics. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
