Can I manage private PHP packages with this skill?

Yes, the skill covers configuring VCS repositories and path repositories for managing private or local dependencies within a project.

What is the benefit of using PSR-4 autoloading?

PSR-4 eliminates the need for manual 'require' or 'include' statements by automatically loading PHP classes based on their namespace and directory structure.

How do I optimize PHP autoloading for production?

You can use 'composer dump-autoload --optimize' or '--classmap-authoritative' to create a static map of all classes, significantly reducing file system lookups.

What are Composer scripts used for?
