php-change is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dayfinggg/openai-codex-agent-skills. It costs 39 tokens per session (317 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement or refactor PHP behavior, write or run PHPUnit or Pest tests, diagnose missing extensions, and investigate PHP API-version mismatches.

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-change 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 today.

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.

What it actually says

Select the PHP procedure that owns the requested result. Keep read-only environment inspection distinct from changes to application behavior.

Read host integration once when following imported PHP tool procedures.

Task Read
Implement, fix, or refactor PHP application or package behavior Implementation
Write, maintain, select, or run PHPUnit or Pest behavior tests Testing
Diagnose PHP runtime or missing-extension problems affecting Mate tools Runtime environment
Establish installed dependency versions or explain an API-version mismatch Dependency versions

For implementation changes, load the testing procedure when test design or runner behavior needs its detail. A version-only question does not require an implementation or testing workflow.

Use php-composer-change for dependency installation, resolution, or updates. Use php-fpm-opcache-diagnostics for the serving FPM runtime, worker exhaustion, OPcache, or stale deployed code. Use symfony-diagnostics when the failure belongs to the Symfony profiler, container, environment configuration, or logs.

Preserve the project's PHP baseline, existing analysis configuration, public contracts, and testing tools. The bundled procedures retain their full verification requirements.

Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
