To apply SOLID principles in PHP, you implement classic GoF design patterns like Factory, Strategy, and Adapter to decouple modules and enforce testable, maintainable architecture. This skill provides framework-agnostic PHP 8.x examples for these structural and behavioral patterns.

The best way to decouple PHP logic is using Hexagonal Architecture and Dependency Injection. This skill demonstrates framework-agnostic patterns with framework-specific adapters, ensuring your core business rules remain isolated and testable independently of any specific framework.

Implementing the Repository pattern with Specification in PHP involves creating abstraction layers for data access to enforce clean architecture. This skill guides you through architecture-aligned patterns like CQRS and DDD to achieve highly testable, decoupled systems.

This PHP design patterns skill requires PHP 8.x features and is framework-agnostic, providing framework-specific adapters only where necessary. It targets developers aiming for dependency injection-friendly code without locking into a specific platform.

You should use behavioral patterns like Chain of Responsibility or Command in PHP when you need to decouple request senders from receivers and encapsulate actions. This skill demonstrates these patterns through modular, testable examples to improve system flexibility.
