安全与测试

Analyzes PHP codebases to identify architectural weaknesses and code smells, providing actionable refactoring recommendations to improve maintainability.

The PHP Code Smell Detector is an essential tool for developers maintaining complex PHP applications. It systematically scans codebases for common architectural anti-patterns such as God Classes, Feature Envy, and Primitive Obsession using pattern-based detection. By generating detailed reports that categorize issues by severity (Critical, Warning, Info), the skill helps teams prioritize technical debt reduction and enforce Clean Architecture and Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles. It bridges the gap between identifying a problem and solving it by suggesting specific remediation skills like extracting Value Objects or Use Cases.
