Does this work with API Platform?

Yes, it includes specific context patterns for API Platform entities, custom providers, filters, and expected request/response formats.

Can I use this for architectural questions?

Absolutely. It helps you define your project structure—such as Hexagonal or CQRS—so Claude follows your existing architectural patterns when suggesting new features.

How does this skill improve Claude's Symfony output?

It provides templates that ensure you include critical data like versioning, bundles, and full stack traces, preventing vague AI responses and providing more accurate solutions.

Is it compatible with different Symfony versions?

Yes, it provides guidance for differentiating between Symfony 6.4 LTS, 7.x, and 8.0, as well as PHP 8.2+ features like readonly classes.

Should I provide my entire src directory to Claude?

No, this skill advises against 'context dumping.' It teaches you how to identify and provide only the relevant files and constraints to keep the AI focused and efficient.
