README
The Mate component provides a command-line assistant (vendor/bin/mate) that exposes
project-aware development tools to coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, …) and
developers. Agents run the mate commands directly, so tool schemas are read on demand
via --help/tools:inspect instead of being loaded up front. This is a development tool,
not intended for production use.
Install it in your project with:
composer require --dev symfony/ai-mate vendor/bin/mate init composer dump-autoload
Point your coding agent at the CLI (see the generated mate/AGENT_INSTRUCTIONS.md):
vendor/bin/mate tools:list # list available tools vendor/bin/mate tools:inspect symfony-profiler-list # show a tool's parameters/schema vendor/bin/mate tools:call symfony-profiler-list --limit=1 vendor/bin/mate resources:read symfony-profiler://profile/<token>
Add --format=json to the tools:*, resources:read, debug:*, skills:list and
skills:validate commands for machine-readable output.
The package ships with the optional symfony/ai-mate-composer-plugin, which automatically
refreshes Mate extension discovery after composer install and composer update once the
project has been initialized.
Installation
composer require --dev symfony/ai-mate
