What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by jpcaparas/superpowers-laravel in skills/template-method-and-plugins/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Keep core flows stable; enable extension via small classes.
Template Method
Use a base class that defines the algorithm skeleton; subclasses override hooks.
abstract class Importer {
final public function handle(string $path): void {
$rows = $this->load($path);
$data = $this->normalize($rows);
$this->validate($data);
$this->save($data);
}
abstract protected function load(string $path): array;
protected function normalize(array $rows): array { return $rows; }
protected function validate(array $data): void {}
abstract protected function save(array $data): void;
}
Strategy/Plugin
Define an interface; register implementations; select by key/config.
interface PaymentGateway { public function charge(int $cents, string $currency): string; }
final class StripeGateway implements PaymentGateway { /* ... */ }
final class BraintreeGateway implements PaymentGateway { /* ... */ }
final class PaymentsRegistry {
/** @param array<string,PaymentGateway> $drivers */
public function __construct(private array $drivers) {}
public function for(string $key): PaymentGateway { return $this->drivers[$key]; }
}
Prefer adding a class over editing switch statements. Test implementations in isolation.
