⚠ This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (repo unreachable/deleted). The test below is what we measured on Jul 24, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.
Asked it to notify on a User update in Doctrine ORM 3: the skill forces the current #[AsEntityListener] + typed PostUpdateEventArgs and blocks the three real ORM-3 traps a plain answer falls into — the removed EventSubscriberInterface, the old single LifecycleEventArgs, and a fatal flush() inside the handler. Every claim in the bundled reference.md (subscribers removed in ORM 3.0, AsDoctrineListener since DoctrineBundle 2.8) checks out against the framework.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Symfony Doctrine Events does
Guides side effects on Doctrine entity persistence in Symfony (timestamps, slugs, search indexing, notifications) using ORM 3 attribute listeners: #[AsDoctrineListener], #[AsEntityListener], and lifecycle callbacks. Triggers when you need persistence side effects, are choosing between the three mechanisms, or are migrating an ORM 2 EventSubscriber to ORM 3.
How to install Symfony Doctrine Events
Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Symfony Doctrine Events skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from MakFly/superpowers-symfony. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Symfony Doctrine Events work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 24, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. Asked it to notify on a User update in Doctrine ORM 3: the skill forces the current #[AsEntityListener] + typed PostUpdateEventArgs and blocks the three real ORM-3 traps a plain answer falls into — the removed EventSubscriberInterface, the old single LifecycleEventArgs, and a fatal flush() inside the handler.

- What is the Symfony Doctrine Events SkillProof Score?
- 9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.
- How do I install Symfony Doctrine Events?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Symfony Doctrine Events with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
