strategy-pattern

strategy-pattern is a skill for Claude Code from dev-toolings/superpowers-symfony. It costs 19 tokens per session (351 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Symfony guide for the Strategy pattern, where several interchangeable algorithms can perform the same kind of job. Tagged services let Symfony discover and select those algorithms at runtime.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a Symfony application needs runtime selection between multiple algorithms or implementations, with clear extension points and validation.
Why use it?
It avoids large conditional blocks and makes it easier to add or change an algorithm without rewriting the surrounding code.

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

strategy-pattern 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 17d 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

Strategy Pattern (Symfony)

Use when

  • One operation has several interchangeable algorithms chosen at runtime, such as payment providers or export formats.
  • A switch or match on a type string keeps growing.
  • New variants must be added without editing the code that selects them.

Default workflow

  1. Define the strategy interface, with a supports() method or a key per strategy.
  2. Tag every implementation through #[AutoconfigureTag] on the interface or on each class.
  3. Inject them with #[AutowireIterator] to try each in order, or #[AutowireLocator] to fetch one by key.
  4. Set priorities where evaluation order matters, and register a fallback strategy.
  5. Test each strategy alone, and the selector with fakes.

Guardrails

  • The selector fails explicitly when no strategy supports the input.
  • Keep strategies stateless and independent of each other.
  • Two cases that will not grow do not need the pattern: a match is enough.

Progressive disclosure

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

Output contract

  • The interface and its tagged implementations.
  • The selector, with its order and its fallback.
  • Tests per strategy and for the no-match case.

References

  • reference.md

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.
