SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the process of refactoring outdated PHP-Nuke modules into a modern, maintainable architecture, improving code quality and developer efficiency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interface-Driven Architecture: Guides the transformation of legacy modules to a Repository/Service/View pattern.
  • Structured Refactoring Steps: Provides a clear, nine-step process from analysis to production validation.
  • Use Case: You have a legacy PHP-Nuke application with many modules that need to be updated to a modern PHP standard. Use this Skill to guide the refactoring of one of these modules.

Quick Start

Use the refactoring-workflow skill to refactor the legacy player module into the modern interface-driven architecture.

FAQPage Schema
How do I refactor legacy PHP-Nuke modules into a modern architecture?▼

To refactor legacy PHP-Nuke modules, you follow a structured nine-step workflow that transforms outdated code into a modern interface-driven Repository/Service/View pattern. This enforces strict type declarations and PHPDoc standards to improve maintainability.

What is the Repository and Service pattern for PHP code modernization?▼

The Repository and Service pattern for PHP code modernization separates data access from business logic by using interface-driven architectures. Database access is handled via a BaseMysqliRepository using prepared statements, while services manage the application's core operations.

How do I migrate legacy PHP database queries to prepared statements?▼

You migrate legacy PHP database queries to prepared statements by implementing a BaseMysqliRepository during the refactoring workflow. This enforces secure database access patterns while transitioning modules into the modern Repository/Service/View structure.

Can I use this refactoring workflow for PHP applications that are not PHP-Nuke?▼

This refactoring workflow specifically targets legacy PHP-Nuke modules, guiding their transformation into a modern PHP structure. While the interface-driven Repository/Service/View pattern is broadly applicable, the workflow's nine steps are tailored to PHP-Nuke modernization.

What are the steps to enforce strict type declarations in legacy PHP code?▼

Enforcing strict type declarations in legacy PHP code occurs within a defined nine-step refactoring workflow that analyzes, restructures, and validates modules into a modern interface-driven architecture. This process ensures production readiness and maintainability.
