Predefined PHP-CS-Fixer coding standards by PHLAK. Install as a dev dependency, initialize via composer exec cs init or create a config using ConfigFactory with a Finder, then run php-cs-fixer. Supports adding or overriding rules via ConfigFactory::make().
Architecture fit: Strong alignment with Laravel's standard tooling. Laravel projects natively use PHP CS Fixer, and this package provides a PSR-12-based configuration that matches Laravel's conventions. The ConfigFactory approach integrates cleanly without framework-specific modifications.
Integration feasibility: High. Installation via Composer (composer require --dev) and composer exec cs init workflow is straightforward. Requires PHP 8.2+ (compatible with Laravel 10+), with no complex dependency conflicts.
Technical risk: Critical. Zero dependents (no production usage), suspicious future release date (2026-02-28), minimal GitHub activity (2 stars), and no issue/pr history. High likelihood of abandonment or unverified rule behavior.
Key questions: Why is the release date set to 2026? How are security vulnerabilities addressed with zero dependents? Are the rule sets validated against real-world Laravel codebases? What is the maintenance commitment timeline?
Stack fit: Ideal for Laravel's dev toolchain. PHP CS Fixer is standard, and this package replaces manual config creation with a pre-tested set. Works with Laravel's existing composer.json scripts and CI pipelines.
Migration path: New projects: composer exec cs init replaces default config. Existing projects: Replace .php-cs-fixer.dist.php with factory-generated
