What it does

Using Symfony Superpowers is an agent skill from dev-toolings/superpowers-symfony. Entry point for Symfony Superpowers - lightweight workflow guidance and command map

Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows. 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

  • Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/using-symfony-superpowers”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run the library's runtime context CLI first to get the Symfony version, API Platform, Docker setup and test framework.
  2. Classify the task: design (brainstorming, writing-plans), build (api-platform-*, doctrine-*, symfony-messenger), test (tdd-with-*…
  3. Open the matching SKILL.md and follow it; use the command alias (for example symfony-check) when one exists.
  4. Chain skills in order for large work: brainstorming, writing-plans, then executing-plans.
  5. Re-check the context when the environment changes, such as containers started or a new dependency added.

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

    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

Using Symfony Superpowers loads about 497 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 245 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~497

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.

Using Symfony Superpowers (Symfony)

Use when

  • Opening a session on a Symfony project, before choosing a skill.
  • A task is stated in general terms and must be mapped to the right skill or command.
  • Several skills could apply and you need to pick the one that fits.
  • You need the command map or the runtime context of the library.

Default workflow

  1. Run the library's runtime context CLI first to get the Symfony version, API Platform, Docker setup and test framework.
  2. Classify the task: design (brainstorming, writing-plans), build (api-platform-*, doctrine-*, symfony-messenger), test (tdd-with-*, functional-tests), secure (symfony-voters, rate-limiting), or ship (quality-checks).
  3. Open the matching SKILL.md and follow it; use the command alias (for example symfony-check) when one exists.
  4. Chain skills in order for large work: brainstorming, writing-plans, then executing-plans.
  5. Re-check the context when the environment changes, such as containers started or a new dependency added.

Guardrails

  • Load one skill per concern instead of reading the whole catalog.
  • Do not start coding before the matching skill is opened.
  • Trust the detected versions over assumptions about Symfony or API Platform.
  • If nothing matches, say so and continue with the project's own conventions.

Progressive disclosure

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

Output contract

  • The context summary (versions, runner, test framework).
  • The skill or command chosen for the task, with the reason.
  • The ordered list of skills to apply when the work needs several.
