What it does

Quality Checks is an agent skill from dev-toolings/superpowers-symfony. Run code quality tools: PHP-CS-Fixer for style, PHPStan for static analysis, and type safety checks

Its SKILL.md is about 380 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 Development, covering Type safety, Static analysis and SAST and Code quality. It works with PHP. 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

  • Tasks that involve Type safety
  • Tasks that involve Static analysis and SAST
  • Tasks that involve Code quality

Example prompts

  • “/quality-checks”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Detect the tools and configuration files present (.php-cs-fixer.dist.php, phpstan.dist.neon).
  2. Run the style fixer in dry-run with a diff first, then apply it.
  3. Run PHPStan at the configured level and fix the reported types.
  4. Run the test suite last, after style and analysis are green.

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

Quality Checks loads about 381 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 181 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~381

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.

Quality Checks (Symfony)

Use when

  • Before committing or opening a pull request.
  • Setting up or tuning PHP-CS-Fixer or PHPStan in a Symfony project.
  • A CI quality job fails and the cause must be found and fixed.

Default workflow

  1. Detect the tools and configuration files present (.php-cs-fixer.dist.php, phpstan.dist.neon).
  2. Run the style fixer in dry-run with a diff first, then apply it.
  3. Run PHPStan at the configured level and fix the reported types.
  4. Run the test suite last, after style and analysis are green.

Guardrails

  • Do not raise the PHPStan level or add baseline entries to make a run pass.
  • Keep style-only changes in their own commit, apart from behavior changes.
  • Do not silence an error with an ignore rule without a written reason.
  • Use the runner the project uses (Docker or host), from the runtime context.

Progressive disclosure

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

Output contract

  • The commands run and their result.
  • The fixes applied, style separated from types.
  • Remaining findings that need a decision.
