What it does

Php Idioms is an agent skill from irahardianto/awesome-agv. Modern PHP 8.x idioms: strict types, typed properties, enums, readonly classes, match expressions, and PSR standards. Use when writing, refactoring, or reviewing pure PHP code, domain services, or libraries. Pair with laravel-idioms for Laravel applications.

Its SKILL.md is about 880 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 Development, covering Backend development and Refactoring. It works with PHP and Laravel. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive sets of standards and practices designed to elevate the capabilities of AI coding agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Reviewing pure PHP code
Domain services

Example prompts

“/php-idioms”

Workflow steps

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

declare(strict_types=1) — always, every file.
Enums for domain constants
Readonly classes for immutable DTOs
Named arguments for clarity
Match expressions over switch

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e997ba. 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:
- composer
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 Idioms loads about 883 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 193 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~883

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

The full file from irahardianto/awesome-agv at commit 9e997ba, republished under its MIT licence (© irahardianto). 193 words, ~883 tokens.

name: php-idioms
description: Modern PHP 8.x idioms: strict types, typed properties, enums, readonly classes, match expressions, and PSR standards. Use when writing, refactoring, or reviewing pure PHP code, domain services, or libraries. Pair with laravel-idioms for Laravel applications.

PHP Idioms and Patterns

Modern PHP (8.x) rewards type safety, immutability, and framework-agnostic design. Lean into typed properties, enums, and readonly classes. Idiomatic PHP = strict types, PSR-compliant, well-tested.

Scope: PHP coding idioms. Test naming: .agents/rules/testing-strategy.md. Logging: @.agents/skills/logging-implementation/SKILL.md.

Modern PHP Features (8.x)

declare(strict_types=1) — always, every file.

Enums for domain constants:

php

enum Priority: string {
    case Low = 'low';
    case Medium = 'medium';
    case High = 'high';
}

Readonly classes for immutable DTOs:

php

readonly class CreateTaskRequest {
    public function __construct(
        public string $title,
        public Priority $priority,
    ) {}
}

Named arguments for clarity:

php

$task = new Task(title: 'Deploy fix', priority: Priority::High);

Match expressions over switch:

php

$score = match($priority) {
    Priority::Low => 1,
    Priority::Medium => 5,
    Priority::High => 10,
};

Error Handling

Domain exception hierarchies:

php

abstract class DomainException extends \RuntimeException {}

class NotFoundException extends DomainException {
    public function __construct(
        public readonly string $resource,
        public readonly string $resourceId,
    ) {
        parent::__construct("{$resource} '{$resourceId}' not found");
    }
}

Never catch (\Exception) without re-throw or specific handling.
Type-safe return types — never mixed without justification.

Interfaces and DI

Define interface where consumed, implement where provided:

php

// In task feature
interface TaskStorage {
    public function getById(string $id): Task;
    public function save(Task $task): void;
}

// Constructor injection
class TaskService {
    public function __construct(
        private readonly TaskStorage $storage,
    ) {}
}

Naming (PSR-12)

PascalCase for classes, interfaces, traits, enums.
camelCase for methods, properties.
UPPER_SNAKE_CASE for constants.
PSR-4 autoloading — namespace = directory path.

Testing

PHPUnit or Pest:

php

test('calculate discount returns zero for no items', function () {
    $result = $this->calculator->calculateDiscount([], $this->coupon);
    expect($result)->toBe(0.0);
});

Data providers for parameterized tests.
Mockery or PHPUnit mocks — never test implementation details.
