How does this skill improve PHP application performance?

It provides implementation patterns for optimized autoloading, such as authoritative classmaps and APCu caching, which significantly reduce file system lookups in production.

Does it support private PHP packages?

Yes, the skill includes guidance on configuring VCS and path repositories, allowing you to manage private internal libraries within a monorepo or across separate repositories.

What is the benefit of PSR-4 over PSR-0?

PSR-4 is the modern standard that allows for more concise directory structures by mapping a namespace prefix to a specific base directory, unlike the more rigid PSR-0.

Can this skill help with version conflicts?

Absolutely. It understands semantic versioning constraints (caret, tilde, ranges) and uses Composer diagnostic tools to identify and resolve dependency bottlenecks.
