What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams modernize legacy PHP applications to PHP 8.x, ensuring stronger type safety, improved maintainability, and compatibility with modern tools.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Modernization Patterns: Adopt constructor property promotion, readonly classes, unions, and attributes to simplify code and reduce boilerplate.
  • Static Analysis & Standards: Enforce PHPStan level 10, Rector transformations, and PHP-CS-Fixer rules to maintain code quality.
  • Migration Guidance: Provides a structured approach to upgrading projects across PHP 8.2–8.4, DTO/VO patterns, and PSR/PER compliance.
  • Use Case: Example: upgrade a legacy class to use constructor property promotion and typed properties, then validate with PHPStan.

Quick Start

Run the PHP modernization skill on a sample legacy class to convert to PHP 8.x style and run static analysis.
