The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈0
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

Common
Distinctive
Very specific

Very specific:
Run the app with symfony serve -d.
line 11

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Symfony CLI conventions

Run the app with symfony serve -d; run commands with symfony console ... (or bin/console if the Symfony CLI is not available).

command -v symfony tells you which case you are in.

Prefixes

Direct	With the Symfony CLI
`php bin/console <cmd>`	`symfony console <cmd>`
`composer <cmd>`	`symfony composer <cmd>`
`php -S localhost:8000`	`symfony serve -d`
`php bin/phpunit`	`symfony php bin/phpunit`

The prefix matters because the Symfony CLI picks the PHP version configured for the project, loads the .env files, terminates TLS locally, and exports the environment variables of Docker services such as the database or mailer. Without it those values are simply absent, and the failure looks like a configuration bug.

Server

symfony serve -d       # start in the background
symfony server:stop
symfony server:log     # tail the logs

Worth knowing

symfony check:requirements    # PHP version and extensions
symfony check:security        # known vulnerabilities in the lock file
symfony var:export --debug    # what the CLI injects into the environment

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

It worked
Partly
It didn't

What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
