Symfony AI Mate is a command-line assistant and MCP server that gives coding agents access to development tools tailored to a Symfony project. Developers and agents use it during development to inspect tools and run project-aware commands directly.
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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00065 | $0.00731 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.00365 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00146 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00073 |
Grade A, and why
system-information 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 5d 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.
This is a copy
98% identical to mate-system-information — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
System Information
Use this skill when a problem might depend on the installed dependency versions rather than the code: a bug that looks like a version mismatch, a method, argument, or class that does not exist in the release that is actually installed.
Capabilities
| Need | Use |
|---|---|
| PHP version, OS, OS family, loaded extensions | php-environment-check skill |
| Installed version of a package | composer show <vendor/package> |
| Installed versions of a family of packages | composer show '<vendor>/<prefix>*' |
| Authoritative record of every installed version | composer.lock (packages / packages-dev) |
The php-environment-check skill reports the runtime only, it does not return
package versions. Use Composer for those.
Resolving package versions
composer.json declares constraints (what is allowed); composer.lock records what is
actually installed. For "what is really running", trust the lock, not the constraint.
- One package:
composer show symfony/console→ installed version plus details. - A family:
composer show 'symfony/ai-*'→ every matching package and its version. - Machine-readable:
composer show --format=json symfony/console. - No Composer binary, or you want the raw record: look the package up by
nameunderpackagesincomposer.lockand read itsversionfield, but do not load the whole lock file into context.
Monorepo / path-repo note: locally linked packages (for example symlinked symfony/ai-*
in this repository) report dev-main or a path reference instead of a semver tag, and that
is the working copy, not a released version.
Diagnosing a version mismatch
- Identify the package behind the failing API; the namespace usually maps to it
(
Symfony\Component\Console\…→symfony/console). - Read the installed version with
composer show <package>(or fromcomposer.lock). - Compare it against the version the code expects: a method or argument added in a newer minor, or removed/renamed in a newer major, is the classic signature.
- Report the gap precisely: name the package, the installed version, and the required one: "symfony/console is 6.4 (installed), but the code calls a 7.1 API."
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.

system-information is a skill published in the GitHub repository symfony/ai-mate (33 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 731 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 98% identical to mate-system-information, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.
