  • Works in 6 steps: Gather Package Details → Create the Repository from Template → Configure the Package (Manual Replacement) → …
  • The user wants to create a new PHP

  • Calls git, gh and composer; reaches github.com

What it does

Spatie Package Skeleton is an agent skill from freekmurze/dotfiles. Guide for creating PHP and Laravel packages using Spatie's package-skeleton-laravel and package-skeleton-php templates. Use when the user wants to create a new PHP or Laravel package, scaffold a package. Also use when building customizable packages — covers proven patterns for extensibility (events, configurable models/jobs, action classes) instead of config option creep.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/package-patterns.md` and `references/post-setup.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Backend development. It works with Laravel, PHP and Git.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to create a new PHP
  • Laravel package
  • Scaffold a package
  • Building customizable packages — covers proven patterns for extensibility (events

Example prompts

  • “/spatie-package-skeleton”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Gather Package Details
  2. Create the Repository from Template
  3. Configure the Package (Manual Replacement)
  4. Verify Setup
  5. Initial Commit and Push
  6. Report to User

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8874280. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • gh
    • composer

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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

Spatie Package Skeleton loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 311 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~100
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.2k

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.

SKILL.md
