What it does

Symfony Voters is an agent skill from dev-toolings/superpowers-symfony. Implement granular authorization with Symfony Voters; decouple permission logic from controllers; test authorization separately

Its SKILL.md is about 300 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 Backend & APIs, covering Authorization and RBAC. It works with Symfony. 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 Authorization and RBAC

Example prompts

  • “/symfony-voters”

Requirements

  • 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. Map actor/resource/action decision matrix.
  2. Implement voter/constraint logic at the right boundary.
  3. Wire checks at controllers and API operations.
  4. Test allowed/forbidden/invalid paths comprehensively.

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

Symfony Voters loads about 302 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 99 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~302

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.

Symfony Voters (Symfony)

Use when

  • Hardening access-control or validation boundaries.
  • Aligning voters/security expressions with domain rules.

Default workflow

  1. Map actor/resource/action decision matrix.
  2. Implement voter/constraint logic at the right boundary.
  3. Wire checks at controllers and API operations.
  4. Test allowed/forbidden/invalid paths comprehensively.

Guardrails

  • Avoid policy logic duplication across layers.
  • Do not leak privileged state via error detail.
  • Preserve explicit deny behavior for sensitive actions.

Progressive disclosure

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

Output contract

  • Security boundary updates.
  • Integration points enforcing decisions.
  • Negative-path test results.
