Automates the creation, testing, and registration of custom PHPStan rules for PHP projects.
This skill streamlines the process of extending PHPStan's static analysis capabilities by guiding developers through the end-to-end creation of custom rules. It handles the initial environment setup—including dependencies and PSR-4 autoloading—facilitates the definition of rule logic through conversation, and enforces a test-driven approach by generating fixtures and unit tests using the PHPStan Rule Test Helper. Whether enforcing project-specific coding standards or preventing domain-specific bugs, this tool ensures custom rules are correctly implemented, tested, and integrated into existing PHP workflows.
