Product Decisions This Supports

Enables teams to enforce custom coding standards efficiently by providing reusable utility functions for PHP_CodeSniffer, reducing time spent on developing custom sniffs from scratch.
Supports build vs. buy decisions by offering a maintained, open-source solution for PHPCS extensions, avoiding internal development costs and maintenance overhead.
Facilitates roadmap planning for code quality initiatives by integrating seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines to catch issues early, improving overall code health and reducing technical debt.

When to Consider This Package

Adopt when your team uses PHP_CodeSniffer and needs to create or maintain complex custom sniffs requiring utility functions (e.g., AST manipulation, token analysis).
Consider if your project has strict coding standards that go beyond PHPCS defaults and require reusable helper logic to enforce consistently.
Avoid if your project does not use PHPCS (e.g., uses PHPStan/PSalm for static analysis instead) or if existing PHPCS rules suffice without customization.

To executives: "This package enhances our code quality infrastructure by providing pre-built utilities for PHP_CodeSniffer, reducing the time and resources needed to enforce
