create-module

A scaffold for a new Marko module, which is a self-contained PHP Composer package that Marko can discover automatically. It creates the package configuration, namespaced source folder, and Pest tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create application modules or distributable Composer packages in a Marko project or framework monorepo.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember the required folders, naming rules, and configuration when starting a Marko package.

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

create-module 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 2d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 125 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create a Marko module

A Marko module is a Composer package that the framework auto-discovers via the extra.marko.module flag. Modules can live anywhere — app/{name}/ for application code, modules/{vendor}/{name}/ for a distributable package dropped into a host project, packages/{name}/ in the framework monorepo, or vendor/{vendor}/{name}/ once installed from Packagist. The layout is identical in every case. Directory and Composer-name segments are always lowercase; only the PHP namespace is StudlyCase.

This skill is the canonical specification for a Marko module. Do not inspect existing modules in this project to infer layout — siblings may have drifted from spec. Copy the templates from assets/ verbatim, substitute placeholders, and stop.

Step 1 — Confirm the name, then pick a location

If the user did not give the module a name, ask for one before scaffolding anything. Do not invent a name, reuse a vendor as the name, or proceed with a placeholder.

Casing rule — read this before creating any directory

A module's identity has two forms that must stay in sync:

  • Directory and Composer name → always lowercase. They are identical segment-for-segment, so a module can move between tiers (e.g. modules/vendor/) or be symlinked with zero path rewrites.
  • PHP namespace → always StudlyCase. blogBlog, my-paymentMyPayment.

So the name blog yields directory blog/, Composer name …/blog, and namespace …\Blog. Lowercase module directories are correct — do not capitalize them. The casing only flips to StudlyCase in the PHP namespace and the psr-4 autoload key. (If you have seen "lowercase module names" before and assumed it was a bug, it was not: the directory is supposed to be lowercase; only the namespace is StudlyCase.)

Pick the tier by where the module lives

Tier Directory Composer name Namespace When
App-local app/{name}/ app/{name} App\{Name} Application code, not distributed. The vendor segment is always the literal app — there is no project-derived vendor.
Distributable modules/{vendor}/{name}/ {vendor}/{name} {Vendor}\{Name} A package you intend to publish or share, dropped into a host project. Two-segment, vendor-scoped.
Framework monorepo packages/{name}/ marko/{name} Marko\{Name} Only when working inside the Marko monorepo itself (root contains packages/core/).

What ships with it

5 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.

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.

create-module is a skill published in the GitHub repository marko-php/marko (393 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 120 tokens to every session and 2,137 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
