Phpstan Fixer

PHPStan Fixer Skill

This skill analyzes EXISTING PHPStan error logs and implements fixes. It does NOT run PHPStan.

Agent Delegation Strategy

This skill delegates to the php-qa-ci_phpstan-fixer agent (sonnet model).

Workflow

When User Says: "Fix the PHPStan errors"

1. Launch fixer agent:

   Use Task tool:
     description: "Fix PHPStan errors"
     subagent_type: "php-qa-ci_phpstan-fixer"
     prompt: "Find and fix errors in most recent PHPStan log"
   

2. Receive fixer output with:

   • Errors found and grouped by pattern
   • Fixes applied
   • Files modified

3. If no log found:

   • Suggest using phpstan-runner skill to generate log first

When User Provides Specific Log Path

1. Launch fixer agent with explicit log path:

   Use Task tool:
     description: "Fix PHPStan errors from log"
     subagent_type: "php-qa-ci_phpstan-fixer"
     prompt: "Fix errors in log: {user_provided_path}"
   

Escalation Triggers

Launch opus model or ask human when:

• Fixer agent reports architecture questions (type hierarchies, design patterns)
• Same error pattern persists after 2 fix attempts
• User asks for explanation rather than fixes

Fixer Agent Reference

The phpstan-fixer agent (sonnet model) handles:

• Auto-discovery of most recent PHPStan log
• Error parsing and pattern grouping
• Fix implementation for common PHPStan patterns
• Reporting which files were changed

See .claude/agents/php-qa-ci_phpstan-fixer.md for agent implementation details.

When to Use This Skill vs phpstan-runner

• Use phpstan-fixer when:

  • PHPStan was already run manually
  • You have a specific log file to analyze
  • You only want to analyze/fix, not run analysis

• Use phpstan-runner when:

  • You want to run PHPStan AND fix errors
  • You want the full run→fix→run cycle
  • PHPStan hasn't been run yet
