Use when debugging PHP with Xdebug — breakpoints, step-through, dual-container setup, IDE configuration, header-based routing — even when the user just says 'why does this blow up on request X'.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# php-debugging

## When to use

Use this skill when:
- Setting up or troubleshooting Xdebug
- Debugging PHP code with breakpoints
- Investigating performance issues
- Running code coverage
- Helping users configure their IDE for debugging

This skill extends `php-coder` and `php`.

## Procedure: Debug with Xdebug

1. **Detect the project's debug setup** — check `docker-compose.yml` / `compose.yaml` for Xdebug containers.
2. **Check Dockerfile** — look for a `dev-xdebug` build stage or Xdebug installation.
3. **Check NGINX config** — look for header-based routing to a debug container.
4. **Read project docs** — check `Docs/XDEBUG_SETUP.md` or `docs/` for setup instructions.
5. **Check `.env`** — look for `DOCKER_XDEBUG_MODE` and `DOCKER_XDEBUG_PORT`.

## Dual-container architecture

Many projects use two PHP containers for optimal performance:

| Container | Purpose | When used |
|---|---|---|
| `*-php` | Fast PHP-FPM, no Xdebug overhead | All normal requests |
| `*-php-xdebug` | PHP-FPM with Xdebug enabled | Only debug requests |

NGINX routes requests based on HTTP headers:
- **No debug header** → fast container (no Xdebug)
- **Debug header present** → Xdebug container

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add event4u-app/agent-config/php-debugging@sha256:0f3a0d68a1e5632a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260711.0f04776, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
