Request Lifecycle Tracer
Traces and documents the end-to-end journey of PHP requests through routers, middleware, application layers, and persistence.
This skill provides deep visibility into complex PHP architectures by mapping the complete flow of an HTTP request or CLI command from the entry point to the final response. It automatically identifies route definitions, middleware stacks, use cases, and repository operations, making it indispensable for debugging, documenting APIs, and ensuring architectural integrity across Symfony, Laravel, or PSR-compliant applications. By visualizing data transformations and error paths, it helps developers maintain clean code standards in DDD, Hexagonal, and CQRS environments.
