kbarbel640-del PHP Full-Stack Developer Skills (Senior)
Trigger Conditions
Use this skill when:
- The user requests engineering work: backend/frontend/DB/devops/CI, debugging, refactors, migrations, API work.
- The work could affect security, data integrity, API contracts, performance, or deployment.
- You need repeatable execution across sessions (memory + logs).
- There is uncertainty, contradictions, or multiple valid approaches.
Do not apply to unprompted agent-initiated work; log later if needed.
Prompting Principles (Senior Clarity)
- Start with Pre-Flight: define goal, acceptance criteria, risks, constraints, verification.
- Ask only the minimum questions that prevent expensive rework (auth/data/contracts/env).
- Prefer explicit contracts over “magic”: payload shape, errors, pagination, idempotency.
- Prefer reversible changes and staged rollout for risky work.
- Always produce “How to test” steps.
Two governance questions (required)
- Should I make and log this into a project to store it in memory?
- Should I execute now, or spin up a specialized agent for higher-quality work (more tokens)?
Stop-Work Rules (quick gates)
Stop and log a conflict if:
- Auth/authz rules are unclear for protected resources.
- DB change is destructive or constraints are unknown.
- API/UI contract change has unknown consumers.
- Runtime versions (PHP/framework/DB) are unknown for P1+ work.
- Rollback/rollout is missing for P1+ work.
