That's not what it does. `php --version` may well not report the php version that's actually running.

Well tbh, I know people who graduated 3 years go, got a job, worked and even got promoted as SWE who dont know the basic commands of an OS. I recently had an EE with a senior position admit to me they dont know how to use grep because they've been relying on llms since they got out of school.

Lots of the tech world, especially the younger side is completely reliant on these things for every little thing. Im not exaggerating either.

lol, I went to the repo expecting to see some more detailed skill, that has instructions on checking various things/PHP install locations/things that could be using PHP that need to be checked, webservers, docker containers, etc/instructions for checking various php deployment methods on cloud providers/etc... i.e. making the skill useful so that it can check lots of places.

Nope, it just says to run php -V and has a table of vulnerable vs non-vulnerable versions.

Sigh

Not very shocking that OpenAI wants you to use tokens

I think Anthropic and OpenAI are seeking rent on every action a developer can take. That's why their TAM is the worlds entire GDP

There are lots of people who have underwent a lobotomy since discovering slop machines and have delegated literally all their work to them, so much so that calling `php --version` is too much for them.

People stuck working at companies with slop machine usage mandates will appreciate that skill too.

even better you can do “php -v”
