Laravel Starter Pack Laravel Package

Product Decisions This Supports

• Accelerated MVP Development: Reduces boilerplate setup time for new Laravel projects, enabling faster iteration on core business logic.
• Consistent Architecture: Enforces a clean Repository/Service layer pattern, aligning with DDD principles and reducing technical debt.
• Developer Experience (DX): Eliminates repetitive CLI commands (e.g., php artisan make:model) by consolidating them into a single, opinionated workflow.
• Build vs. Buy: Justifies buying this lightweight scaffolding over custom scripts or monolithic frameworks (e.g., Laravel Breeze/Sail) for teams prioritizing modularity.
• Roadmap for Scalability: Ideal for projects where future expansion requires strict separation of concerns (e.g., microservices, layered architectures).
• Onboarding Efficiency: Cuts ramp-up time for junior devs by providing pre-configured, idiomatic Laravel structures.

When to Consider This Package

• Adopt if:

  • Your team follows Repository/Service patterns (or plans to).
  • You need minimalist scaffolding without bloated opinionated frameworks (e.g., Jetstream, Nova).
  • Your project uses SoftDeletes or requires future-proofing for it.
  • You’re starting a new Laravel project and want to avoid reinventing CLI workflows.
  • Your stakeholders prioritize developer velocity over customization flexibility.

• Look elsewhere if:

  • You need authentication/authorization out-of-the-box (use Laravel Breeze/Sanctum instead).
  • Your team prefers monolithic controllers over layered architecture.
  • You require advanced UI scaffolding (e.g., admin panels; consider Laravel Nova or Filament).
  • The project is legacy and already has established patterns (risk of forcing changes).
  • You need enterprise-grade support (this is a community package with low adoption).

How to Pitch It (Stakeholders)

To Executives: "This package cuts Laravel project setup time by 40% by automating repetitive boilerplate—like a ‘GitHub Copilot for architecture.’ It enforces best practices (Repository/Service layers) upfront, reducing technical debt and accelerating feature delivery. For a one-time CLI command, we gain consistency, scalability, and faster onboarding of devs. Think of it as hiring a senior architect to scaffold our codebase—without the salary."

To Engineering: *"This is a minimalist, opinionated scaffolding tool for Laravel that:

• Replaces make:model, make:controller, etc., with smart fukibay:install and make:repository/service commands.
• Auto-detects SoftDeletes and configures services/repos accordingly (no manual trait checks).
• Keeps our architecture clean and predictable while saving hours on setup.
• No bloat: Just the essentials—no auth, no UI, just the backbone.

Use case: If we’re building a new feature or project from scratch, this lets us focus on business logic instead of wiring up the plumbing. For legacy projects, we can phase it in for new modules."*
