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-stack 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.

What it actually says

PHP Stack Reference

Framework

PHP 8.2+, Laravel 11.x, Eloquent ORM, Artisan CLI, Predis for Redis.

Project Structure

app/
  Contracts/             -- repository interfaces
  Enums/                 -- PHP 8.1+ backed enums
  Http/Controllers/      -- thin, delegates to services
  Http/Requests/         -- form request validation
  Http/Resources/        -- API response transformation
  Models/                -- Eloquent models
  Providers/             -- service providers (app, repositories)
  Repositories/          -- data access (implements Contracts)
  Services/              -- stateless business logic
  Traits/{Enums,Models}/ -- shared behavior
  Jobs/, Events/, Listeners/
config/                  -- env-backed configuration
database/{factories,migrations,seeders}/
docs/adr/                -- architecture decision records
routes/{web,api}.php
tests/{Feature,Unit}/

Key Artisan Commands

php artisan test --filter=Name   # run specific test
php artisan migrate --pretend    # dry-run migration
php artisan make:model X -mfc   # model + migration + factory + controller
php artisan route:list           # show routes
php artisan tinker               # REPL

For Make commands see docker-workflow skill.

Patterns

  • Repository pattern – Contracts + Repositories, bound in RepositoriesProvider
  • Service classes – stateless, injected via constructor DI
  • Thin controllers – delegate to services, no business logic
  • FormRequest validation – never validate in controllers
  • PHP 8.1+ Enums – backed enums with traits
  • Config over env – use config() not env() in app code
  • Queue heavy work – email, API calls, reports

Code Quality

Pint (PSR-12), Larastan/PHPStan, PHPUnit 11, Allure reporting. Check composer.json for versions.

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.

php-stack is a skill published in the GitHub repository velesnitski/php-agents-boilerplate (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 467 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
