Temma
August 1, 2026 · View on GitHub
Temma is a simple and efficient PHP MVC framework.
Easier to use than large frameworks More powerful than micro-frameworks
Quick start with an AI agent
If you develop with a coding agent (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot…), you have nothing to install by hand. Just give it this sentence:
Create a website using Temma (temma.net/go)
The agent reads temma.net/go, an executable installation guide: it checks the prerequisites, creates the project, configures the database and the web server, then starts the site. From there, Temma's AI skills are installed in the project and guide the agent to write code that follows the framework conventions.
