symfony:quality-checks is a Symfony agent skill that runs checkpointed architecture and quality workflows with controlled scope for developers who need safe medium-complex PHP changes without uncontrolled refactors.
About
symfony:quality-checks is a makfly superpowers-symfony skill that applies production-grade Symfony architecture and execution workflows with explicit checkpoints and guardrails against broad refactors. The default four-step flow establishes current boundaries and coupling, proposes the smallest coherent architectural adjustment, executes changes in validated checkpoints, and summarizes tradeoffs plus follow-up backlog items. Allowed tools are Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, and Grep, keeping agents inside repository inspection and controlled edits. Developers reach for it when refining Symfony architecture, workflow handling, or context boundaries during medium or complex changes that need auditable decisions instead of sweeping rewrites. Guardrails enforce existing project patterns, require explicit approval before large refactors, and keep a clear decision log for review handoff. Progressive disclosure defers deeper Symfony workflow references until the checkpoint plan is approved.
- Default workflow: boundaries → smallest coherent adjustment → checkpointed execution → tradeoffs backlog
- Design checklist covers operation boundaries, happy path, and negative path behavior
- Guardrails: existing project patterns, no broad refactors without explicit need
- Output contract: architecture changes, checkpoint validation outcomes, residual risks
- Progressive disclosure via reference.md and docs/complexity-tiers.md

How do you review Symfony architecture changes safely?
Run checkpointed Symfony architecture and quality-check workflows without uncontrolled refactors on medium-complex PHP changes.
Who is it for?
Symfony maintainers executing medium-complex PHP refactors who need checkpointed validation and auditable architecture decisions.
Skip if: Greenfield Symfony bootstrapping or trivial one-line fixes that do not need a four-step architecture review workflow.
When should I use this skill?
User requests Symfony quality checks, architecture refinement, or safe medium-complex PHP changes with checkpoints and guardrails.
What you get
Checkpoint validation log, minimal architecture adjustment plan, tradeoff summary, and follow-up backlog notes
- Architecture adjustment plan
- Checkpoint validation summary
- Follow-up backlog with documented tradeoffs
By the numbers
- Default workflow defines four checkpointed steps from boundary mapping through tradeoff summary
- Lists six allowed agent tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, and Grep
Files
Quality Checks (Symfony)
Use when
- Refining architecture/workflows/context handling in Symfony projects.
- Planning and executing medium/complex changes safely.
Default workflow
1. Establish current boundaries, constraints, and coupling points. 2. Propose smallest coherent architectural adjustment. 2. Execute in checkpoints with validation at each stage. 2. Summarize tradeoffs and follow-up backlog.
Guardrails
- Use existing project patterns by default.
- Avoid broad refactors without explicit need.
- Keep decision log clear and auditable.
Progressive disclosure
- Use this file for execution posture and risk controls.
- Open references when deep implementation details are needed.
Output contract
- Architecture/workflow changes.
- Checkpoint validation outcomes.
- Residual risks and next steps.

Skill Operating Checklist
Design checklist
- Confirm operation boundaries and invariants first.
- Minimize scope while preserving contract correctness.
- Test both happy path and negative path behavior.
Validation commands
- rg --files
- composer validate
- ./vendor/bin/phpstan analyse
Failure modes to test
- Invalid payload or forbidden actor.
- Boundary values / not-found cases.
- Retry or partial-failure behavior for async flows.
