Magento Php Specialist

If you're building Magento 2 extensions or customizing core functionality, this enforces the strict PHP standards you need to pass code reviews and maintain enterprise-grade modules. It mandates PSR-12 compliance, strict types, constructor property promotion with readonly modifiers, and Magento's coding standards from their vendor package. The skill pushes you toward service contracts, repository patterns, and dependency injection while avoiding common pitfalls like loose comparisons or service locators. Honestly, it's opinionated about modern PHP (match expressions, union types, named arguments) which is exactly what you want when the alternative is inconsistent code across a large Magento codebase.
