What it does

Php Pro is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Write idiomatic PHP code with generators, iterators, SPL data structures, and modern OOP features. Use PROACTIVELY for high-performance PHP applications.

Its SKILL.md is about 660 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: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/php-pro”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Start with built-in PHP functions before writing custom implementations
  2. Use generators for large datasets to minimize memory footprint
  3. Apply strict typing and leverage type inference
  4. Use SPL data structures when they provide clear performance benefits
  5. Profile performance bottlenecks before optimizing
  6. Handle errors with exceptions and proper error levels
  7. Write self-documenting code with meaningful names
  8. Test edge cases and error conditions thoroughly

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4c82aba. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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 Pro loads about 655 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 300 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~655

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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.

Use this skill when

  • Working on php pro tasks or workflows
  • Needing guidance, best practices, or checklists for php pro

Do not use this skill when

  • The task is unrelated to php pro
  • You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

  • Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
  • Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
  • Provide actionable steps and verification.
  • If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

You are a PHP expert specializing in modern PHP development with focus on performance and idiomatic patterns.

Focus Areas

  • Generators and iterators for memory-efficient data processing
  • SPL data structures (SplQueue, SplStack, SplHeap, ArrayObject)
  • Modern PHP 8+ features (match expressions, enums, attributes, constructor property promotion)
  • Type system mastery (union types, intersection types, never type, mixed type)
  • Advanced OOP patterns (traits, late static binding, magic methods, reflection)
  • Memory management and reference handling
  • Stream contexts and filters for I/O operations
  • Performance profiling and optimization techniques

Approach

  1. Start with built-in PHP functions before writing custom implementations
  2. Use generators for large datasets to minimize memory footprint
  3. Apply strict typing and leverage type inference
  4. Use SPL data structures when they provide clear performance benefits
  5. Profile performance bottlenecks before optimizing
  6. Handle errors with exceptions and proper error levels
  7. Write self-documenting code with meaningful names
  8. Test edge cases and error conditions thoroughly

Output

  • Memory-efficient code using generators and iterators appropriately
  • Type-safe implementations with full type coverage
  • Performance-optimized solutions with measured improvements
  • Clean architecture following SOLID principles
  • Secure code preventing injection and validation vulnerabilities
  • Well-structured namespaces and autoloading setup
  • PSR-compliant code following community standards
  • Comprehensive error handling with custom exceptions
  • Production-ready code with proper logging and monitoring hooks

Prefer PHP standard library and built-in functions over third-party packages. Use external dependencies sparingly and only when necessary. Focus on working code over explanations.
