symfony:controller-cleanup

symfony:controller-cleanup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dev-toolings/superpowers-symfony. It costs 27 tokens per session (227 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Symfony refactoring workflow for moving business decisions out of oversized controllers into services, handlers, or single-purpose commands. Controllers can then focus on receiving requests and returning responses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when Symfony controllers contain too much business logic, workflow handling, or context management.
Why use it?
It reduces tangled request code and makes application behavior easier to change and test. The workflow also limits refactoring to changes the project actually needs.

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

symfony:controller-cleanup 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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Controller Cleanup (Symfony)

Use when

  • Refining architecture/workflows/context handling in Symfony projects.
  • Planning and executing medium/complex changes safely.

Default workflow

  1. Establish current boundaries, constraints, and coupling points.
  2. Propose smallest coherent architectural adjustment.
  3. Execute in checkpoints with validation at each stage.
  4. Summarize tradeoffs and follow-up backlog.

Guardrails

  • Use existing project patterns by default.
  • Avoid broad refactors without explicit need.
  • Keep decision log clear and auditable.

Progressive disclosure

  • Use this file for execution posture and risk controls.
  • Open references when deep implementation details are needed.

Output contract

  • Architecture/workflow changes.
  • Checkpoint validation outcomes.
  • Residual risks and next steps.

References

  • reference.md
  • docs/complexity-tiers.md
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
