Constraints
- Apply
@rules/php/core-standards.mdconly once it is established that the project is a PHP project (PHP stack incomposer.json) and the change touches PHP code — skip it for non-PHP work (docs, tooling, infra, config); do not load the PHP standards for a task that does not touch PHP. - If the current project uses Laravel, also apply
@rules/laravel/laravel.mdc,@rules/laravel/architecture.mdc,@rules/laravel/filament.mdc, and@rules/laravel/livewire.mdc(likewise only when the change touches PHP) - Always follow this order: understand → propose → implement → verify
- Prefer existing project skills over custom solutions; do not duplicate logic already covered by a skill
Use when
- Solving a task that requires structured thinking and controlled execution
- Coordinating multiple steps or skills
Execution
1. Understand
- Analyze the problem, context, and related resources
- Classify the task (bug, feature, refactor, review, etc.)
- Define a short checklist of goals, constraints, and assumptions
2. Propose
- Suggest the smallest safe solution
- Explain why this approach is preferred (impact, risk, trade-offs)
- Select relevant existing skills to execute the plan
3. Implement
- Execute the solution using selected skills where applicable
- Keep changes focused and aligned with project conventions
- Add or update tests for changed behavior
4. Verify
- Validate the result against requirements
- Run relevant checks/tests for the affected scope
- Ensure no regressions or unintended side effects
- Summarize what was changed, tested, and any remaining risks
Done when
- The task is fully addressed
- The solution follows the defined loop
- Existing skills were reused where applicable
- Results are validated and clearly summarized
