What it does

Php Composer Setup is an agent skill from agnesoft/agdb. Install PHP and Composer, verify they are available in PATH, and confirm the PHP tooling required by this repository works. Use this when PHP or Composer are missing, or when commands under agdbapi/php fail because the environment is not set up.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with PHP. The repository describes itself as: Agnesoft Graph Database. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

  • “/php-composer-setup”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Detect whether PHP and Composer are already installed.
  2. Install missing tools using the most appropriate package manager for the current OS.
  3. Verify that both tools are available in PATH.
  4. Confirm that the repository's PHP tooling can run.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0d70098. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • winget
    • php
    • composer
    • brew
    • choco
    • apt
    • dnf

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Php Composer Setup loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 486 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:76
    - Debian or Ubuntu: `sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y php-cli composer`
  • NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:77
    - Fedora: `sudo dnf install -y php-cli composer`
  • NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:78
    - Arch: `sudo pacman -Sy php composer`

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

PHP and Composer Setup

Use this skill when the workspace needs PHP and Composer installed or verified before running commands in agdb_api/php.

Repository context:

  • The PHP API client lives in agdb_api/php.
  • Common PHP validation commands in this repository are:
    • cd agdb_api/php/ && ./ci.sh coverage
    • cd agdb_api/php/ && ./ci.sh analyse
    • cd agdb_api/php/ && ./ci.sh format

Goals

  1. Detect whether PHP and Composer are already installed.
  2. Install missing tools using the most appropriate package manager for the current OS.
  3. Verify that both tools are available in PATH.
  4. Confirm that the repository's PHP tooling can run.

General procedure

  1. Detect the operating system and check whether php and composer are already available.
  2. Prefer the native package manager for the OS.
  3. Do not reinstall tools that are already working unless the user explicitly asks for a version change.
  4. If installation updates PATH, tell the user a new terminal might be required and re-run verification.
  5. After installation, verify both binaries before attempting repository commands.
  6. If a command requires elevated privileges, explain that clearly before running it.

Verification commands

Run these first:

  • php --version
  • composer --version

If both succeed, move directly to repository verification.

Windows

Preferred package manager order:

  1. winget
  2. choco

Suggested commands:

  • Check for winget: winget --version
  • Install PHP with winget: winget install --id PHP.PHP.8.4 --source winget
  • Install Composer with winget: winget install --id Composer.Composer --source winget
  • Install PHP with Chocolatey: choco install php
  • Install Composer with Chocolatey: choco install composer

If the exact winget package ID changes, search for it with:

  • winget search php
  • winget search composer

After installation, re-run:

  • php --version
  • composer --version

If the current shell still does not see the binaries, open a new terminal and verify again.

Linux

Prefer the system package manager. Typical commands include:

  • Debian or Ubuntu: sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y php-cli composer
  • Fedora: sudo dnf install -y php-cli composer
  • Arch: sudo pacman -Sy php composer

After installation, re-run:

  • php --version
  • composer --version

macOS

Prefer Homebrew if available:

  • Check for Homebrew: brew --version
  • Install PHP: brew install php
  • Install Composer: brew install composer

After installation, re-run:

  • php --version
  • composer --version

Repository verification

Once PHP and Composer are available, verify the repository setup with the least expensive relevant command first.

Recommended order:

  1. cd agdb_api/php/ && ./ci.sh format
  2. cd agdb_api/php/ && ./ci.sh analyse
  3. cd agdb_api/php/ && ./ci.sh coverage

Choose the command that best matches the user's goal. If the user only asked for installation, stop after binary verification unless they want a repo-level check.

Operating rules

  • Prefer detection before installation.
  • Prefer non-destructive verification before long-running checks.
  • Report exact installation blockers instead of guessing.
  • If package installation is not possible in the current environment, tell the user what command they need to run locally.
  • When verification fails, distinguish between missing system tools and repository-level PHP dependency problems.

Example invocations

  • /php-composer-setup windows
  • /php-composer-setup windows using winget
  • /php-composer-setup verify php tooling for agdb_api/php
  • /php-composer-setup linux
  • /php-composer-setup macos with Homebrew
