Its focus is language features that LLMs frequently get wrong or write in a pre-8.0 style — most notably using docblock annotations (@Route, @ORM\Column) instead of native #[Attribute] syntax, which is the #1 mistake this skill exists to prevent.

Do NOT use this skill for coding style, PSR compliance, or autoloading — that is php-standards. Do NOT use it for Laravel-specific syntax conventions — that lives in the Laravel plugin.

Modern PHP Language (8.1 → 8.5)

Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)

Before writing PHP, spawn 3 agents in parallel, one Agent call each with a name:

1. fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Detect the project's minimum PHP version (composer.json require.php, CI matrix)
2. fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify a feature's version + syntax on php.net before using it
3. mcp__context7__query-docs - Cross-check idiomatic usage

After writing, run fuse-ai-pilot:sniper for validation.
