How I Made Symfony's Maker Agentic
Twelve merged pull requests in one release, my first-ever contribution to Symfony’s
maker-bundle. All of them were about the same thing: agents kept running into make:*
commands that only worked with a human answering prompts, and simply crashed otherwise.
maker-bundle 1.68.0 fixes eight of those commands and adds a short note for future maker
authors on how to avoid making the same mistake again. It closes a small, real gap behind an
argument I already made in my own AGENTS.md for Symfony’s framework-bundle recipe: don’t
just tell agents to work around what’s broken, fix what’s broken instead.

Live on Never Code Alone we set up Sulu AI Intelligent Search. The feature itself took a few commands. The rest was the project around it.
