What it does
Php Best Practices is an agent skill from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. Write PHP following PSR coding standards, SOLID principles, and code-quality guidelines. Use for PHP style, design, refactoring, naming, and guard clauses—not Composer/PSR-4 project configuration.
Its SKILL.md is about 640 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json` and `references/implementation.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Code quality, Design patterns and Refactoring. It works with PHP. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Agent Skills Standard and Best Practice for Programming Languages, Frameworks that help our AI Agent follow best practies on frameworks and programming laguages. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Guard clauses—not Composer/PSR-4 project configuration
- Tasks that involve Code quality
- Tasks that involve Design patterns
Example prompts
- “/php-best-practices”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b529c2d. 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
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
Php Best Practices loads about 638 tokens when it runs, and up to ~801 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 239 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

PHP Best Practices
Priority: P1 (HIGH)
Structure
src/
├── {Domain}/ # e.g., Services, Repositories
└── Helpers/ # Pure functions/TraitsImplementation Guidelines
Coding Style (PSR Standards)
- PSR-12: Enforce 4-space indentation and opening braces on same line for functions/methods.
- Organization: One class per file; use statements follow namespace. Run PHP CS Fixer with PSR-12 preset.
- Naming Conventions: Use
PascalCase(UserService) for classes,camelCase(getUserById) for methods/variables, andSNAKE_CASE(MAX_RETRIES) for class constants.
SOLID Principles in PHP
- SRP: Single Responsibility Principle — extract each into its own focused class; keep classes under ~200 lines.
- Dependency Inversion: inject via constructor with interface type-hints. Inject dependencies via constructor for testability. Favor composition over deep inheritance chains.
- Separation of Concerns: Use Interfaces for decoupling integrations and logic.
Logic & Performance
- Guard Clauses: Return early for error conditions (e.g., if (!$user) return null); no else after return to reduce nesting depth.
- Traits: Define trait HasTimestamps (e.g.,
use HasTimestamps) for cross-cutting behavior. Keep traits focused and lightweight. - Helper Functions: Avoid global-namespace logic; organize in classes.
Anti-Patterns
- No monolithic classes: Each class one responsibility (SRP).
- No hardcoded magic numbers: Define as named class constants.
- No deep nesting: Use guard clauses to return early.
- No
echoin services: Return data; let controller output.
