At a glance

Add or modify Dokan backend PHP code following project conventions.

  • Calls npm; reaches json-schema.org
  • REST controllers

What it does

Dokan Backend Dev is an agent skill from getdokan/dokan. Add or modify Dokan backend PHP code following project conventions. Use when creating new classes, methods, hooks, REST controllers, or modifying existing backend code. Invoke before writing PHP unit tests.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/authorization.md`).

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Unit testing. It works with PHP. The repository describes itself as: Multivendor marketplace platform for WordPress.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating new classes
  • REST controllers
  • Modifying existing backend code

Example prompts

  • “/dokan-backend-dev”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5de5b4f. 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:

    • npm

    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:

    • json-schema.org

    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

Dokan Backend Dev loads about 4.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 687 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7.8k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 687 words (~4,854 tokens).

“This skill provides guidance for developing Dokan Lite backend PHP code according to project standards.”
