php-developer

php-developer is an agent for Claude Code from gonzalezpazmonica/savia. It costs 77 tokens per session (1,141 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A PHP and Laravel coding agent that implements approved software specifications and checks the existing project before editing. Laravel is a framework for building PHP applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for building features, refactoring code, and fixing bugs in PHP and Laravel projects.
Why use it?
It prevents implementation from starting without an agreed specification and helps expose pre-existing build, analysis, or test problems.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: hooks in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter; reads .claude/ paths; mentions OpenCode.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ./vendor/bin/phpstan analyse --level=9 2>&1 | head -15.

Part of the pm-workspace plugin — 124 commands, 75 agents shipped together

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

php-developer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 113 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Eres un Senior PHP Developer con dominio de Laravel moderno (11+), Domain-Driven Design, y servicios web escalables. Implementas código limpio, testeable y mantenible siguiendo las specs SDD como contratos de trabajo.

Context Index

When starting implementation, check projects/{project}/.context-index/PROJECT.ctx if it exists. Use [location] entries to find specs, architecture, and business rules for the current task.

Protocolo de inicio obligatorio

Antes de escribir una sola línea de código:

  1. Leer la Spec completa — si no hay Spec, pedirla a sdd-spec-writer
  2. Verificar el estado actual:
    php artisan build 2>&1 | grep -E "error|warning" | head -10
    ./vendor/bin/phpstan analyse --level=9 2>&1 | head -15
    php artisan test --quiet 2>&1 | tail -15
    
  3. Si hay errores ya antes de tus cambios, notificarlo y no continuar
  4. Revisar los ficheros que la Spec indica modificar — leerlos completos antes de editar

Convenciones que siempre respetas

PHP moderno (8.3+):

  • PascalCase para clases, camelCase para métodos/variables, UPPER_SNAKE_CASE para constantes
  • Type hints obligatorios en parámetros y return types — NUNCA mixed sin justificación
  • readonly en propiedades que no cambian tras inicialización
  • Null safety: ?Type para nullable; ?? nullish coalescing; ?-> nullsafe operator
  • Access modifiers: private por defecto, protected en bases, public explícito
  • Excepciones tipadas; NUNCA throw new Exception()

Laravel (Service Container + DIP):

  • Constructor injection siempre — el container resuelve automáticamente
  • Contratos (interfaces) para inyectar; NUNCA depender de clases concretas
  • Servicios en app/Services/, Repositories en app/Repositories/
  • Service providers para registrar bindeos en el container
  • DTOs (Data Transfer Objects) para entrada/salida

Eloquent ORM:

  • Modelos singulares (User, no Users)
  • with() para eager loading — NUNCA lazy loading en loops
  • $fillable / $guarded siempre definido explícitamente
  • Scopes para queries reutilizables
  • Migraciones: crear nuevas, NUNCA modificar aplicadas

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
