php-quality-tooling

php-quality-tooling is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fusengine/agents. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,381 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for PHPStan, Rector, and PHP-CS-Fixer, which respectively find type problems, update code, and enforce formatting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure these tools in a non-Laravel PHP project, including continuous-integration checks.
Why use it?
It helps organize PHP quality checks without confusing code analysis, automated changes, and formatting as the same job.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-quality-tooling 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 126 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Includes a decision guide for greenfield vs legacy codebases (PHPStan level + baseline strategy, Rector's withPhpSets()/withPhpLevel(), PHP-CS-Fixer rule sets), plus ready-to-copy templates for phpstan.neon, rector.php, .php-cs-fixer.dist.php, and a composer-scripts CI pipeline.

Do NOT use this skill on Laravel projects — Laravel uses Pint (a thin wrapper over PHP-CS-Fixer) and Larastan instead, both owned by laravel-expert. Do NOT use it for test framework setup (php-testing) or language syntax questions (php-language-modern).

PHP Quality Tooling

Three complementary tools. PHPStan finds type bugs, Rector rewrites code (upgrades + refactors), PHP-CS-Fixer formats to a coding standard. They do not overlap — run all three.

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before ANY implementation, spawn 3 agents in parallel, one Agent call each with a name:

  1. fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Detect existing config (phpstan.neon, rector.php, .php-cs-fixer.dist.php), PHP version in composer.json
  2. fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify latest PHPStan/Rector/PHP-CS-Fixer docs via Context7/Exa
  3. mcp__context7__query-docs - Check current config API surface

After implementation, run fuse-ai-pilot:sniper for validation.


Overview

Tool Role Config file Verdict
PHPStan Static analysis (type safety, dead code) phpstan.neon Reports errors, never edits
Rector Automated upgrade + refactor rector.php Rewrites source
PHP-CS-Fixer Coding-standard formatter .php-cs-fixer.dist.php Rewrites whitespace/style

Scope note: Laravel Pint is a thin opinionated wrapper around PHP-CS-Fixer. On a Laravel project use Pint (→ laravel-expert); everywhere else use PHP-CS-Fixer directly, which is what this skill covers.

What ships with it

8 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.
