Skill: summarize-composer-json
When to Use
Use this skill when the user asks to:
- Summarize a composer.json file
- Analyze PHP project dependencies
- Review composer configuration
- Understand project requirements
- Extract metadata from composer.json
- Explain what packages a PHP project uses
Input Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
composer_json_content | Yes | The full content of the composer.json file to analyze | {"name": "vendor/project", "require": {"php": "^8.2"}} |
Procedure
- Receive the composer.json file content from the user (via file attachment or paste)
- Parse the JSON structure to extract key sections: name, description, require, scripts, autoload, config, authors, license
- Organize findings into logical categories: project metadata, PHP/extension requirements, dependencies with versions, executable binaries, available scripts, namespace configuration
- Format output with clear headers, bullet points, and explanations of what each dependency does
- Highlight critical information such as minimum PHP version, key packages, and available commands
- Present summary in a readable format that explains both what the project is and how it's structured
