symfony:using-symfony-superpowers is the entry-point Symfony skill that orients Claude Code agents to the superpowers-symfony pack so they pick the right recipe for tests, Messenger, patterns, and security tasks.
About
symfony:using-symfony-superpowers is the onboarding skill for MakFly/superpowers-symfony, a Claude Code plugin delivering 44 expert Symfony skills, 7 specialized subagents, and 13 slash commands for Symfony 7.4 LTS and 8.x. It provides lightweight workflow guidance and a command map so agents route tasks to recipes like symfony:tdd-with-pest, symfony:doctrine-relations, symfony:api-platform-dto-resources, and symfony:symfony-messenger instead of generic PHP answers. The pack auto-detects Symfony version, API Platform, Docker Compose, FrankenPHP, and DDEV setups at session start. Developers reach for symfony:using-symfony-superpowers when starting a Symfony session, unsure which superpower skill fits a test, security, or async messaging task. It shares checkpoint-oriented guardrails with effective-context and references docs/complexity-tiers.md for complexity routing.

Which Symfony superpowers skill fits this task?
Orient Claude Code agents to the superpowers-symfony skill pack so they pick the right Symfony recipe for tests, Messenger, patterns, and security tasks.
Who is it for?
Developers new to superpowers-symfony who need the plugin's 44-skill map before tackling Symfony tests, Doctrine, API Platform, or Messenger work.
Skip if: Developers already executing a known Symfony recipe should invoke the specific skill such as symfony:tdd-with-pest directly instead of the entry router.
When should I use this skill?
An agent starts Symfony work or receives an ambiguous PHP task and must choose among superpowers-symfony skills for tests, Messenger, security, or API Platform.

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.
