TYPO3 Fractor Skill
Fractor is a generic file refactoring tool that automates non-PHP migrations for TYPO3 upgrades. It complements Rector (which handles PHP) by migrating FlexForms, TypoScript, Fluid templates, YAML, Htaccess files, and composer.json.
Target: TYPO3 v14.x for this skill collection. Upstream Fractor sets may still be named TYPO3_12, TYPO3_13, etc. — those are historical bundle identifiers for rules you apply while moving code toward a v14 codebase.
TYPO3 API First: Always use TYPO3's built-in APIs, core features, and established conventions before creating custom implementations. Always verify that the APIs and methods you use exist and are not deprecated in TYPO3 v14 by checking the official TYPO3 documentation.
Safety: Never run Fractor on production. Always run on a development environment with version control. Review and test changes before releasing.
Fractor vs Rector
| Tool | Handles | Package |
|---|---|---|
| Rector | PHP code (classes, TCA PHP, ext_localconf, etc.) | ssch/typo3-rector |
| Fractor | Non-PHP files (FlexForms, TypoScript, Fluid, YAML, Htaccess, composer.json) | a9f/typo3-fractor |
Use both together for complete TYPO3 upgrades. See the typo3-extension-upgrade skill for the full workflow.
