Download the PHP package michtio/craftcms-claude-skills without Composer

On this page you can find all versions of the php package michtio/craftcms-claude-skills. It is possible to download/install these versions without Composer. Possible dependencies are resolved automatically.

FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Craft CMS Claude Skills

Production-ready Claude Code skills, agents, and project templates for Craft CMS 5 development.

Built and maintained by michtio. Covers both plugin/module development (extending Craft) and site development (content modeling, Twig templates, front-end architecture).

Support

If this project saves you time, consider supporting its development:

Quick Start

1. Install

2. Set Up Your Project

Open Claude Code in your Craft project and say:

The craft-project-setup skill detects your project type (plugin, site, module, hybrid, or monorepo) and generates a tailored CLAUDE.md and .claude/rules/ directory.

3. Start Building

The skills trigger automatically based on what you're doing. Just describe what you need:

Claude loads the right skills, follows Craft conventions, and uses the correct field handles, DDEV commands, and project config workflow.

Example Prompts

Just describe what you need — skills trigger automatically and produce high-quality results. A few to show the range, grouped by domain:

Content modeling & architecture

Plugins & modules

Control panel & author experience

Front-end & Twig

Hosting & deployment

See docs/prompt-guide.md for 40+ prompts organized by task type — content modeling, plugin development, field types, security, Twig, CP/JS, configuration & deployment, testing, and headless.

13 skills, 117 reference files. Skills load automatically and declare companion skills so related knowledge loads together. See docs/skills-overview.md for the full breakdown.

Agents

Agent Model Purpose
craft-planner Opus Decompose features into vertical slices with verification gates. Can research/audit public plugins via gh and git clone.
craft-feature-builder Opus Build plugin code feature by feature with automated + manual test gates
craft-site-builder Opus Site templates and components feature by feature with build-verify gates
craft-debugger Sonnet Systematic bug investigation
craft-code-reviewer Sonnet Full-stack review against a structured checklist: PHP, Twig, JS, CSS, config
craft-code-reviewer-deep Opus Deep review for high-stakes PRs (release branches, security, migrations, multi-service flows): cross-file data flow, untested paths, race conditions, scale concerns

Agents build feature by feature (vertical slices), not layer by layer. Tests are written alongside each layer, not batched at the end. Manual testing gates (required + optional) are identified per feature. The builder's prevention rules map directly to the reviewer's checklist across PHP, Twig, JS, and CSS; craft-code-reviewer-deep (Opus) goes further for high-stakes changes. See docs/agents.md for details.

Plugin Reference Library

24 Craft plugins with detailed configuration, Twig/PHP API, and common pitfalls — indexed and name-routed by the craft-plugins skill, so they surface from front-end, PHP, migration, and deployment tasks alike:

Requirements

Versioning

This package follows its own semantic versioning, driven by the pack's own content — it is not pinned to Craft's minor releases:

The pack targets Craft CMS 5, latest minor (currently 5.10). Behaviour specific to a Craft minor is annotated inline in the content (e.g. "since 5.10.0"), so a single line serves projects on any Craft 5 minor — the minors are additive and backward-compatible. New content like a hosting skill or plugin reference is a feature of the pack, independent of which Craft minor is current.

Development happens on main. The 1.4.x branch is a frozen snapshot targeting Craft 5.9 — it received a final quality release and no longer takes new work; all new development lands on main. The release-validation workflow enforces that manifest versions match the release tag.

Roadmap

Contributing

Contributions welcome. See docs/contributing.md for how to add plugin references, improve skills, and report issues.

For PHP consumers (composer)

The same repo also ships as a small composer package, exposing the bundled skills' markdown to PHP code through a thin static helper. The primary consumer is craftpulse/craft-cortex — a Craft CMS 5 MCP server plugin that surfaces these skills as MCP prompts and resources to AI agents.

The helper is read-only and does no caching — wrap it in your own registry if you need that. PHP 8.2+.
