What it does

API Platform State Providers is an agent skill from dev-toolings/superpowers-symfony. Master API Platform State Providers and Processors (v5, 4.4, 4.3) (ProviderInterface/ProcessorInterface) to decouple data retrieval and persistence from entities

Its SKILL.md is about 570 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `reference.md`).

It sits in Databases. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code plugin for Symfony 7.4 LTS & 8.x — 44 skills, 7 AI subagents & 13 commands for API Platform v4, Doctrine ORM 3, TDD (Pest/PHPUnit), Messenger, security & DDD. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Databases work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/api-platform-state-providers”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit, Bash

Workflow steps

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

  1. Implement ProviderInterface::provide() returning iterable|object|null, where null gives a 404 (v3.4 declares mixed).
  2. To keep Doctrine fetching, inject api_platform.doctrine.orm.state.item_provider and api_platform.doctrine.orm.state.collection_provider…
  3. Implement ProcessorInterface::process() and delegate to api_platform.doctrine.orm.state.persist_processor or remove_processor.
  4. Wire them with provider: and processor: on the resource or the operation; autoconfiguration registers them, and the…
  5. For a processor on GET or GetCollection, add write: true (v4 only).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 459bcd0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash

    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

API Platform State Providers loads about 567 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 233 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~567

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.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit, Bash

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.

Api Platform State Providers (Symfony)

Use when

  • Reading data from a source other than the default Doctrine provider.
  • Wrapping the Doctrine provider to post-process results (return a DTO, enforce a tenant scope).
  • Business logic must run before or after persisting (hashing, slug, dispatching a message).
  • A v4 read endpoint must dispatch a query or command through a processor.

Default workflow

  1. Implement ProviderInterface::provide() returning iterable|object|null, where null gives a 404 (v3.4 declares mixed).
  2. To keep Doctrine fetching, inject api_platform.doctrine.orm.state.item_provider and api_platform.doctrine.orm.state.collection_provider with #[Autowire].
  3. Implement ProcessorInterface::process() and delegate to api_platform.doctrine.orm.state.persist_processor or remove_processor.
  4. Wire them with provider: and processor: on the resource or the operation; autoconfiguration registers them, and the api_platform.state_provider or api_platform.state_processor tag is only needed without it.
  5. For a processor on GET or GetCollection, add write: true (v4 only).

Guardrails

  • Run pre-persist logic before calling the inner processor and side effects after it returns.
  • A processor returns the created or modified object, and nothing for DELETE.
  • write: true on safe methods is v4 only: v3.4 processors run on write methods only.
  • DataProvider and DataPersister are v2 interfaces and no longer exist.

Progressive disclosure

  • Use this file for execution posture and risk controls.
  • Open references when deep implementation details are needed.

Output contract

  • The providers and processors added, and the operations they are wired to.
  • Which built-in services are decorated.
  • Tests for the not-found, success, and side-effect paths.
