Description
"Use when assessing TYPO3 extension quality, conformance checking, standards compliance, modernization to v12/v13/v14, TER readiness, or best practices review. Also triggers on: extension audit, quality score, full assessment, fix all findings, conformance audit, Bootstrap 5 migration, CSP compliance, ViewHelper security, XLIFF hygiene, PHP 8.4/8.5 compat."

TYPO3 Extension Conformance Checker

Evaluate TYPO3 extensions against TYPO3 coding standards, architecture patterns, and best practices.

When to Use

  • Assessing extension quality or TER readiness
  • Generating scored conformance reports
  • Planning modernization to v12/v13/v14

Delegation

Testing -> typo3-testing | Docs -> typo3-docs | OpenSSF -> enterprise-readiness

Workflow

Step 0: Context

Read ext_emconf.php + composer.json to determine TYPO3/PHP version, extension type, scope.

Steps 1-10: Checks

  1. Metadata -- Extension key, TYPO3 version, type
  2. Structure -- composer.json, ext_emconf.php, Classes/, Configuration/, Resources/
  3. Coding -- strict_types, PSR-12, PHP 8.4 explicit nullable, PHP 8.5 float-to-int
  4. Prohibited -- No $GLOBALS, no GeneralUtility::makeInstance() for services
  5. Architecture -- Constructor DI, Services.yaml, PSR-14 events
  6. Backend -- ES6 modules, Modal API, CSRF, CSP (v13+)
  7. Testing -- PHPUnit, Playwright E2E, coverage >70%
  8. Practices -- DDEV, runTests.sh, CI/CD, quality tools
  9. TER -- Publish workflow, upload comment format
  10. Audit -- PHPStan baseline, TCA searchFields/default_sortby, XLIFF completeness, cache has()+get() anti-pattern, Extbase query property names, multi-version adapters

Step 11: Verify

Re-run after fixes. Document score delta (e.g., "58 -> 82").

Quick Grep Recipes

# Missing strict_types
grep -rL 'strict_types' Classes/ --include='*.php'
# Prohibited $GLOBALS
grep -rn '\$GLOBALS' Classes/ --include='*.php'
# makeInstance for services
grep -rn 'GeneralUtility::makeInstance' Classes/ --include='*.php'
# PHP 8.4 implicit nullable (deprecated)
grep -rPn '\(\s*[A-Za-z\\]+\s+\$\w+\s*=\s*null' Classes/ --include='*.php' | grep -v '?'
# Cache has()+get() anti-pattern
grep -rn '->has(' Classes/ --include='*.php'
# ext_emconf must NOT have strict_types
grep -l 'strict_types' ext_emconf.php
# PHP 8.5 implicit float-to-int (deprecated)
grep -rn '(int)\s*\$' Classes/ --include='*.php'
# Bootstrap 4 data attributes in Fluid
grep -rn 'data-toggle\|data-dismiss\|data-ride' Resources/ --include='*.html'

Scoring

Base (0-100): Architecture(20) + Guidelines(20) + PHP(20) + Testing(20) + Practices(20). Excellence bonus up to 22. Critical issues block regardless.

| Range | Level | Action | |-------|-------|--------| | 90+ | Excellent | Production/TER ready | | 80-89 | Good | Minor fixes | | 70-79 | Acceptable | Fix before release | | 50-69 | Needs Work | Significant effort | | <50 | Critical | Block deployment |
