Daily Workflow (Symfony)

Use when

• Starting or resuming a work session on a Symfony project.
• Routine tasks: migrations, fixtures, consuming messages, clearing the cache.
• Debugging with debug:* commands, the profiler, and the logs.
• Getting a change ready to commit.

Default workflow

1. Sync: pull, run composer install when the lock file changed, apply pending migrations.
2. Start the services the project uses and check bin/console about.
3. Work in small test-first cycles with the project's test runner.
4. Debug with debug:* commands, the profiler and var/log/dev.log before adding dumps.
5. Before committing, run style, static analysis and tests, and remove every dump() and dd().

Guardrails

• Prefix commands with the runner the project uses (Docker or host), from the runtime context.
• Never load fixtures or reset the schema on a shared or production database.
• Do not commit dump(), dd() or debug-only code.
• Do not patch vendor/ to work around a problem.

Progressive disclosure

• Use this file for execution posture and risk controls.
• Open references when deep implementation details are needed.

Output contract

• The commands run, with the project's runner prefix.
• Debugging findings, with the evidence behind them.
• A change ready to commit, quality gates green.
