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 <sequence> in module.xml
composer_require No Object of composer requirements (package: version)

Workflow

Step 1: Validate Input

  • Verify vendor name is PascalCase (starts with uppercase, alphanumeric only)
  • Verify module name is PascalCase
  • Check that app/code/{Vendor}/{Module} does not already exist

Step 2: Create Directory Structure

app/code/{Vendor}/{Module}/
├── registration.php
├── composer.json
└── etc/
    └── module.xml

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 <sequence> block containing dependencies, or empty string if none

Step 4: Run Setup (Optional)

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"

Template Placeholders

Placeholder Description Example
{{VENDOR}} Vendor name (PascalCase) Acme
{{MODULE}} Module name (PascalCase) CustomFeature
{{vendor_kebabcase}} Vendor name (kebab-case, split on capitals) acme
{{module_kebabcase}} Module name (kebab-case, split on capitals) custom-feature
{{DESCRIPTION}} Module description Acme CustomFeature module
{{SEQUENCE}} Module sequence XML or empty <sequence><module name="Magento_Catalog"/></sequence>

PascalCase to kebab-case Conversion

Convert module names by inserting a hyphen before each capital letter and lowercasing:

PascalCase kebab-case
CustomFeature custom-feature
ShoppingCartGraphQl shopping-cart-graph-ql
CmsComponents cms-components
MyModule my-module

Usage by Other Skills

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": "*"}

Example Output

For vendor Acme, module CmsComponents, with Hyva_CmsBase dependency:

app/code/Acme/CmsComponents/registration.php:

<?php
declare(strict_types=1);

use Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar;

ComponentRegistrar::register(ComponentRegistrar::MODULE, 'Acme_CmsComponents', __DIR__);

app/code/Acme/CmsComponents/composer.json:

{
    "name": "acme/module-cms-components",
    "description": "Acme CmsComponents module",
    "type": "magento2-module",
    "require": {
        "php": ">=8.1",
        "hyva-themes/commerce-module-cms": "*"
    },
    "autoload": {
        "files": ["registration.php"],
        "psr-4": {
            "Acme\\CmsComponents\\": ""
        }
    }
}

app/code/Acme/CmsComponents/etc/module.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">
    <module name="Acme_CmsComponents">
        <sequence>
            <module name="Hyva_CmsBase"/>
        </sequence>
    </module>
</config>

Prerequisites

Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:

  • Cursor installed and configured on your development machine
  • Node.js version 16.0+ with npm package manager (verify with node --version)
  • Active project directory or workspace where you want to add hyva-create-module
2

Execute installation command

Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:

$npx skills add https://github.com/hyva-themes/hyva-ai-tools --skill hyva-create-module

The skills CLI fetches hyva-create-module from GitHub repository hyva-themes/hyva-ai-tools and configures it for Cursor.

Select Cursor when prompted

The CLI will show a list of available agents. Use arrow keys to navigate and space to select Cursor:

◆ Which agents do you want to install to?
│ ── Universal (.agents/skills) ── always included ────
│ • Amp
│ • Antigravity
│ • Cline
│ • Codex
│ ●Cursor(selected)
│ • Cursor
│ • Windsurf
4

Verify installation

Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:

.cursor/skills/hyva-create-module

Reload or restart Cursor to activate hyva-create-module. Access the skill through slash commands (e.g., /hyva-create-module) or your agent's skill management interface.

Security & Verification Notice

We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.

Skills execute code in your development environment. Always verify the publisher's identity, review recent commits, and test in isolated environments before production deployment.
