## What it is
Symfony MakerBundle is an official Symfony bundle that generates boilerplate code (controllers, commands, forms, entities, event subscribers, etc.) via console commands. It provides working skeletons that follow Symfony's current recommended best practices with sensible defaults.

## Use cases
- generate a Symfony controller skeleton
- scaffold form classes and CRUD code in Symfony
- create console commands without writing boilerplate
- learn an unfamiliar Symfony component with a working starting point
- generate Doctrine entities and subscribers following best practices

## When to choose
- you're new to a Symfony feature and want a best-practice starting point
- you want to quickly scaffold common Symfony code with minimal configuration
- you want generated code that stays aligned with the current Symfony LTS conventions

## When to avoid
- you need highly customizable or pluggable code generation templates
- you need opinionated or non-default code shapes, custom target directories, or edge-case options
- you're not working within the latest Symfony LTS
- you want AI-assisted or skills-based generation (Symfony Mate or coding agents are recommended instead)
