Use it when an agent needs to work inside a real Symfony codebase and follow framework-specific operator workflows instead of relying on generic coding prompts. The practical workflows include bootstrapping project context, selecting a Docker or host runner, writing Pest or PHPUnit tests before implementation, designing Doctrine relations and migrations, creating API Platform resources and DTOs, implementing Messenger handlers, adding voters and rate limiting, running Symfony quality checks, and executing implementation plans with checkpoints.

Invoke this instead of using Claude Code normally when the task depends on accurate Symfony conventions, version-specific APIs, or repeatable project operations such as TDD, Doctrine schema work, API Platform resource creation, async messaging, security review, or quality gates. The scope boundary is Symfony application development inside Claude Code through this plugin’s documented skills, commands, hooks, and agents. It is not a generic PHP framework listing, not an API Platform product card, and not a general Claude Code plugin directory.
