bd-data-object

bd-data-object is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Lonsdale201/wp-agent-skills. It costs 206 tokens per session (4,003 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for adding immutable, typed DataObject classes to better-data. A data object is a structured value passed between storage, validation, APIs, and other parts of an application.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for defining production DTOs, test fixtures, and plugin-level data objects with typed constructor parameters, defaults, and attribute-based behavior.
Why use it?
It prevents missing defaults and incorrectly defined constructor fields from breaking conversion of arrays into data objects.

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

bd-data-object 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 8d 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.

better-data: Adding a DataObject

For library maintainers and downstream contributors who add or modify a DataObject subclass inside better-data. Every typed shape — production DTOs in src/, test fixtures in tests/Fixtures/, plugin-level DTOs in the companion testbed — extends the abstract DataObject (src/DataObject.php:36) and is the foundation that every engine (sources, sinks, validation, Presenter, REST schema, better-route bridge) reads against.

Misconception this skill corrects

"I'll just declare the constructor parameters with the types I want and set the values when I instantiate the class — defaults are optional."

In better-data, defaults are load-bearing. The hydration entry point DataObject::fromArray (src/DataObject.php:47-79) iterates ReflectionParameters and treats any parameter without isDefaultValueAvailable() (and without allowsNull()) as REQUIRED — throwing MissingRequiredFieldException. PHP's Reflection silently demotes earlier-positioned defaults to "required" if a later parameter has no default — so a single missing default at the end cascades and breaks ::fromArray for the whole DTO.

Other AI-prone misconceptions:

  • "I'll add encrypt: true to the MetaKey and store the property as a plain string." Wrong shape — #[Encrypted] writes ciphertext but the in-memory value is still a plain string that leaks via var_dump / print_r / serialize. Use Secret as the property type.
  • "I'll add a public mutator method (setEmail()) to make consumer code more ergonomic." Wrong — every DTO is final readonly class. Mutation is $dto->with(['email' => '[email protected]']) which returns a NEW instance. Mutators break the immutability contract that Secret, route-side projection, and Presenter caching all depend on.

When to use this skill

Trigger when ANY of the following is true:

  • Adding a new final readonly class extends DataObject under src/, tests/Fixtures/, or the companion plugin's Dto/.
  • Adding, removing, or retyping a constructor parameter on an existing DTO.
  • The diff or PR title mentions: "new DTO", "add Dto", "add field to Dto", "introduce Dto".
  • Reviewing a class that extends DataObject — use this skill's checklist before approving.
  • Hitting MissingRequiredFieldException at runtime — usually the cause is a trailing parameter without a default.
