Create Magento 2 Module
This utility skill creates new Magento 2 modules in app/code/. It is designed to be called by other skills that need module scaffolding.
Command execution: For commands that need to run inside the development environment (e.g., bin/magento), use the hyva-exec-shell-cmd skill to detect the environment and determine the appropriate command wrapper.
Parameters
When invoking this skill, the calling skill should provide:
Parameter Required Description
vendor Yes Vendor name in PascalCase (e.g., Acme)
module Yes Module name in PascalCase (e.g., CustomFeature)
description No Module description for composer.json (default: "[Vendor] [Module] module")
dependencies No Array of module dependencies for
Step 3: Generate Files registration.php
Use template assets/templates/registration.php.tpl:
Replace {{VENDOR}} with vendor name Replace {{MODULE}} with module name composer.json
Use template assets/templates/composer.json.tpl:
Replace {{VENDOR}} with vendor name (PascalCase) Replace {{MODULE}} with module name (PascalCase) Replace {{vendor_kebabcase}} with kebab-case, hyphenated vendor name Replace {{module_kebabcase}} with kebab-case, hyphenated module name Replace {{DESCRIPTION}} with description Add entries from composer_require parameter to the require section module.xml
Use template assets/templates/module.xml.tpl:
Replace {{VENDOR}} with PascalCase vendor name
Replace {{MODULE}} with PascalCase module name
Replace {{SEQUENCE}} with
If the calling skill requests it, run bin/magento setup:upgrade using the hyva-exec-shell-cmd skill for the appropriate wrapper.
Error Handling
Abort module creation and report the error to the calling skill when:
Condition Action Vendor name not PascalCase Report: "Invalid vendor name '{name}': must start with uppercase letter and contain only alphanumeric characters" Module name not PascalCase Report: "Invalid module name '{name}': must start with uppercase letter and contain only alphanumeric characters" Directory already exists Report: "Module already exists at app/code/{Vendor}/{Module}" Cannot create directory Report: "Failed to create directory app/code/{Vendor}/{Module}: {error}" Cannot write file Report: "Failed to write {filename}: {error}"
If hyva-exec-shell-cmd skill is unavailable when Step 4 is requested, skip the setup:upgrade step and report: "Skipped setup:upgrade - hyva-exec-shell-cmd skill not available. Run manually: bin/magento setup:upgrade"

Skills should reference this skill for module creation:
To create the module, use the hyva-create-module skill with:
- vendor: "Acme"
- module: "CmsComponents"
- dependencies: ["Hyva_CmsBase"]
- composer_require: {"hyva-themes/commerce-module-cms": "*"}
