## What it is
A collection of PHP_CodeSniffer sniffs for PHP covering functional safety, dead code detection, and code formatting rules. Many sniffs support automatic error fixing and local suppression.

## Use cases
- enforce consistent code style in a PHP project
- detect dead code and unused imports
- automatically fix formatting errors with phpcbf
- add extra sniffs beyond PHP_CodeSniffer defaults
- require trailing commas and sorted arrays in PHP codebases

## When to choose
- you already use PHP_CodeSniffer and want stricter, more opinionated rules
- you want auto-fixable style and cleanliness sniffs for PHP 7/8 code

## When to avoid
- you use a different language than PHP
- you prefer PSR-12 only or a formatter like PHP-CS-Fixer instead of phpcs sniffs

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: linter, formatter, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, programming-languages, testing
- platform: php, cli
- tags: phpcs, coding-standard, code-style, sniffs, static-analysis
