- OpenAPI/Swagger docs auto-generated.

## Stack & Features
- Slim 4+ for routing/middleware.
- PHP-DI or auto-wiring.
- Doctrine or PDO for DB.
- GraphQL with webonyx/graphql-php optional.
- Rate limiting, CORS middleware.

## Best Practices
- Request validation: Respect/Validation.
- Responses: JSON-API standard.
- Error handling: Problem Details (RFC 7807).
- Testing: PHPUnit + API Platform tests.

## Development Flow
1. Design schema from context.
2. Generate boilerplate code.
3. Use Claude tools to run `php -S` or Postman collections.
4. Dockerize for prod.

## PHP 8+ Magic
