SOLID Violations Analyzer
Overview
This skill analyzes PHP codebases for SOLID principle violations and generates detailed reports with severity levels and remediation recommendations.
Analysis Workflow
Step 1: Scope Identification
Determine analysis scope from user input or detect automatically:
ls -la src/
find . -type d -name "Domain" -o -name "Application" -o -name "Infrastructure"
Step 2: Run Detection Patterns
Execute detection patterns for each SOLID principle.
SRP (Single Responsibility) Detection
God Class Detection
find . -name "*.php" -path "*/src/*" -exec wc -l {} \; | awk '$1 > 500 {print "CRITICAL: " $0}'
for file in $(find . -name "*.php" -path "*/src/*"); do
count=$(grep -c "public function" "$file" 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
if [ "$count" -gt 15 ]; then
echo "WARNING: $file has $count public methods"
fi
done
grep -rn "class.*Manager\|class.*Handler\|class.*Helper\|class.*Util" --include="*.php" src/
High Dependency Count
grep -rn "__construct" --include="*.php" -A 20 src/ | \
grep -E "private|readonly" | \
awk -F: '{files[$1]++} END {for(f in files) if(files[f]>7) print "WARNING: " f " has " files[f] " dependencies"}'
Multiple Responsibility Indicators
grep -rn "class\s\+\w*And\w*" --include="*.php" src/
grep -rn "class.*Service" --include="*.php" src/ -l | while read file; do
if grep -q "Repository\|Mailer\|Logger" "$file"; then
echo "INFO: $file may have mixed concerns"
fi
done
OCP (Open/Closed) Detection
Type Switch Detection
grep -rn "switch.*->type\|match.*->type\|match.*::class" --include="*.php" src/
grep -rn "if.*instanceof\|elseif.*instanceof" --include="*.php" src/
grep -rn "if.*getType\(\)\s*===\|if.*->type\s*===" --include="*.php" src/
grep -rn "\[.*::class\s*=>" --include="*.php" src/
Extension Indicators
git log --since="3 months ago" --name-only --pretty=format: -- "*.php" | \
sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -20
LSP (Liskov Substitution) Detection
Contract Violations
grep -rn "throw.*NotImplemented\|throw.*NotSupported\|throw.*UnsupportedOperation" --include="*.php" src/
grep -rn "public function.*\{[\s]*\}" --include="*.php" src/
grep -rn "if.*parent::\|parent::.*?:" --include="*.php" src/
Precondition/Postcondition Issues
grep -rn "function.*override" --include="*.php" -A 10 src/ | grep "if.*throw"
grep -rn "return\s*null;" --include="*.php" src/
ISP (Interface Segregation) Detection
Fat Interface Detection
for file in $(find . -name "*.php" -path "*/src/*" -exec grep -l "^interface" {} \;); do
count=$(grep -c "public function" "$file" 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
if [ "$count" -gt 5 ]; then
echo "WARNING: $file interface has $count methods"
fi
if [ "$count" -gt 8 ]; then
echo "CRITICAL: $file interface has $count methods - consider splitting"
fi
done
Unused Interface Methods
grep -rn "//\s*TODO\|//\s*not implemented\|//\s*unused" --include="*.php" src/
grep -rn "function.*\{[\s]*return;\s*\}" --include="*.php" src/
Generic Interface Names
grep -rn "interface\s\+\(Service\|Manager\|Handler\)\s*$" --include="*.php" src/
DIP (Dependency Inversion) Detection
Direct Instantiation
grep -rn "new\s\+[A-Z]" --include="*.php" src/ | \
grep -v "Exception\|DateTime\|stdClass\|DateTimeImmutable\|ArrayObject\|SplQueue"
grep -rn "[A-Z][a-z]*::[a-z]" --include="*.php" src/ | \
grep -v "self::\|static::\|parent::\|Uuid::\|Money::"
Concrete Type Hints
grep -rn "__construct" --include="*.php" -A 15 src/ | \
grep -E "(private|readonly)\s+[A-Z][a-z]*[A-Z][a-z]*\s+\\\$" | \
grep -v "Interface\|Abstract\|Contract"
Service Locator Anti-pattern
grep -rn "container->get\|app()->make\|\\\$this->get(" --include="*.php" src/
Report Generation
Analysis Output Format
# SOLID Violations Report
## Summary
| Principle | Critical | Warning | Info |
|-----------|----------|---------|------|
| SRP | X | X | X |
| OCP | X | X | X |
| LSP | X | X | X |
| ISP | X | X | X |
| DIP | X | X | X |
## Critical Violations
### SRP-001: God Class
- **File:** `src/Service/UserManager.php`
- **Lines:** 847
- **Issue:** Class exceeds 500 lines with 23 public methods
- **Recommendation:** Extract into focused classes
- **Skills:** `acc-create-use-case`, `acc-create-domain-service`
### OCP-001: Type Switch
- **File:** `src/Payment/PaymentProcessor.php:45`
- **Issue:** Switch on payment type requires modification for new types
- **Recommendation:** Apply Strategy pattern
- **Skills:** `acc-create-strategy`
## Warning Violations
### ISP-001: Fat Interface
- **File:** `src/Repository/UserRepository.php`
- **Methods:** 12
- **Issue:** Interface too large, clients forced to depend on unused methods
- **Recommendation:** Segregate into UserReader, UserWriter, UserStats
## Remediation Priority
1. **Immediate:** God classes blocking testing
2. **High:** Type switches preventing extension
Fat interfaces causing coupling
Minor DIP violations
Severity Classification
| Severity | Criteria | Action |
|---|
| CRITICAL | >500 LOC, >10 deps, NotImplementedException | Immediate refactoring |
| WARNING | 300-500 LOC, 7-10 deps, type switches | Plan refactoring |
| INFO | 200-300 LOC, minor issues | Monitor in next iteration |
Remediation Skills
| Violation | Recommended Skill |
|---|
| God Class | acc-create-use-case |
| Type Switch | acc-create-strategy |
| No Interface | acc-create-repository |
| Domain Logic | acc-create-domain-service |
| Value Extraction | acc-create-value-object |
| Factory Missing | acc-create-factory |
| Decorator Need | acc-create-decorator |
