php-service-template: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

php-service-template CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from VilnaCRM-Org/php-service-template. It costs 326 tokens per session, scanned A, original, CC0-1.0.

A set of instructions for working on a Symfony and API Platform PHP service template. It defines the project setup, preferred commands, architecture rules, and required quality checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start the project, install dependencies, run formatting and analysis checks, execute unit, integration, behavior, mutation, and load tests, and update generated API specifications.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents a safe, repeatable way to work in the template and discourages bypassing tests, static analysis, or design boundaries.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is VilnaCRM-Org/php-service-template's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on php-service-template itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything php-service-template configures →

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-service-template CLAUDE.md 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 2mo ago.

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.

CLAUDE.md

This repository includes a template-safe Claude skills baseline under .claude/skills/.

Start Here

  1. Read AGENTS.md.
  2. Read .claude/skills/AI-AGENT-GUIDE.md.
  3. Use .claude/skills/SKILL-DECISION-GUIDE.md to choose the right skill.

Project Snapshot

  • Symfony 7 and API Platform 4
  • PHP 8.2+ with a pinned Composer platform of PHP 8.3.12
  • Doctrine ORM and Doctrine Migrations
  • OpenAPI and GraphQL exported into .github/
  • Load tests under tests/Load/
  • Architecture captured in workspace.dsl

Command Reference

Use the repository wrappers first:

make start
make install
make phpcsfixer
make psalm
make phpinsights
make deptrac
make setup-test-db
make unit-tests
make integration-tests
make behat
make infection
make generate-openapi-spec
make generate-graphql-spec
make load-tests

If a needed command is missing from Makefile, use docker compose exec php ... instead of host PHP commands.

Current Agent Contract

  • Do not lower quality gates to make checks pass.
  • Keep Domain classes free of Symfony, Doctrine attributes, and API Platform attributes.
  • Prefer YAML or XML configuration for framework concerns.
  • Update docs and generated specs when behavior changes.
  • Treat .claude/skills/ as the primary execution guide for agent work in this template.
Changes

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.
