developing-with-php

developing-with-php is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from FortiumPartners/ensemble. It costs 37 tokens per session (3,069 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for writing modern PHP 8.x code, including its type system, object-oriented patterns, errors, and Composer package management. Composer is PHP's tool for installing and loading libraries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write PHP applications, define typed classes and functions, manage Composer dependencies, access databases with PDO, and add PHPUnit tests.
Why use it?
It helps keep PHP code consistent with current language features and avoids common problems with types, dependencies, and error handling.

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

developing-with-php scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

PHP 8.x Type System

<?php
// Union types (8.0+)
function process(string|int $value): string|false { }

// Intersection types (8.1+)
function handle(Countable&Iterator $collection): void { }

// Nullable types
function find(int $id): ?User { }

// Never return type (8.1+)
function fail(): never {
    throw new Exception('Fatal error');
}

// True, false, null as standalone types (8.2+)
function isValid(): true { return true; }

Constructor Property Promotion

<?php
// Promoted properties (8.0+) - replaces boilerplate
class User {
    public function __construct(
        private string $name,
        private string $email,
        private bool $active = true,
    ) {}
}

// Readonly class (8.2+) - all properties are readonly
readonly class ValueObject {
    public function __construct(
        public string $value,
        public DateTimeImmutable $createdAt,
    ) {}
}

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.
