Laravel Starter Kit Livewire Laravel Package

This application is a Laravel application running on PHP 8.5. Always use the APIs that match the installed major version of each package — do not assume a version.

TRIGGER when working with ai-sdk, Laravel's official first-party AI SDK. Activate when building or editing AI agents, chatbots, text generation, image generation, audio/TTS, transcription/STT, embeddings, RAG, vector stores, reranking, structured output, streaming, conversation memory, tools, MCP servers, queueing, broadcasting, and provider failover across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Azure, Groq, xAI, DeepSeek, Mistral, Ollama, ElevenLabs, Cohere, Jina, and VoyageAI. Invoke when the user references ai-sdk, the `Laravel\Ai\` namespace, or this project's AI features — not for other AI packages used directly.

Use this skill for Flux UI development in Livewire applications only. Trigger when working with <flux:*> components, building or customizing Livewire component UIs, creating forms, modals, tables, or other interactive elements. Covers: flux: components (buttons, inputs, modals, forms, tables, date-pickers, kanban, badges, tooltips, etc.), component composition, Tailwind CSS styling, Heroicons/Lucide icon integration, validation patterns, responsive design, and theming. Do not use for non-Livewire frameworks or non-component styling.

ACTIVATE when the user works on authentication in Laravel. This includes login, registration, password reset, email verification, two-factor authentication (2FA/TOTP/QR codes/recovery codes), passkeys, profile updates, password confirmation, or any auth-related routes and controllers. Activate when the user mentions Fortify, auth, authentication, login, register, signup, forgot password, verify email, 2FA, passkeys, WebAuthn, or references app/Actions/Fortify/, CreateNewUser, UpdateUserProfileInformation, FortifyServiceProvider, config/fortify.php, or auth guards. Fortify is the frontend-agnostic authentication backend for Laravel that registers all auth routes and controllers. Also activate when building SPA or headless authentication, customizing login redirects, overriding response contracts like LoginResponse, or configuring login throttling. Do NOT activate for Laravel Passport (OAuth2 API tokens), Socialite (OAuth social login), or non-auth Laravel features.

Use this skill to analyze how a Laravel application is actually written and record its conventions as shared rules. Trigger when the user wants to detect, infer, document, or standardize project conventions or coding style, set up or grow `.ai/rules`, resolve mixed or conflicting patterns (e.g. "are we using Form Requests or inline validation?"), or onboard agents and teammates to "how we do things here". Covers: a systematic sweep of ~49 Laravel convention dimensions (validation, models, architecture, testing, frontend, database, console), open-ended house-pattern discovery, conflict reporting, and recording rules scoped to the right paths via the Boost `record-rule` MCP tool. Only run this skill when the user explicitly asks for it; never start a sweep as part of another task. Do not use for one-off code review, enforcing formatting a linter already handles, or editing `.ai/rules` files by hand.

Apply this skill whenever writing, reviewing, or refactoring Laravel PHP code. This includes creating or modifying controllers, models, migrations, form requests, policies, jobs, scheduled commands, service classes, and Eloquent queries. Triggers for N+1 and query performance issues, caching strategies, authorization and security patterns, validation, error handling, queue and job configuration, route definitions, and architectural decisions. Also use for Laravel code reviews and refactoring existing Laravel code to follow best practices. Covers any task involving Laravel backend PHP code patterns.

One-shot Pest verification CLI for Laravel and PHP agents. Use whenever the user wants to quickly check that a change actually works, including hitting a route, asserting a model relationship or factory, checking a queued job, mail, or notification fires, screenshotting a page, asserting visible content, testing a click or form submission, checking for JavaScript errors, asserting accessibility, doing visual regression, or testing responsive layouts. Triggers include "verify this works", "did my change break X", "screenshot the homepage", "check this route returns 200", "make sure the mail fires", "test the login form", "see if the page renders", "check it on mobile", "is the form working", or any one-off behavioral check on a Laravel app that does not warrant a permanent test file. Also use after any Blade, Livewire, CSS, or JS change to visually confirm the result. Load this skill FIRST — before any shell command or throwaway test — whenever the request is to verify something that works. Prefer `vendor/bin/pest --agent='<code>'` (SINGLE outer quotes so nothing is escaped) over writing throwaway test files.

Always invoke when the user's message includes 'tailwind' in any form. Also invoke for: building responsive grid layouts (multi-column card grids, product grids), flex/grid page structures (dashboards with sidebars, fixed topbars, mobile-toggle navs), styling UI components (cards, tables, navbars, pricing sections, forms, inputs, badges), adding dark mode variants, fixing spacing or typography, and Tailwind v3/v4 work. The core use case: writing or fixing Tailwind utility classes in HTML templates (Blade, JSX, Vue). Skip for backend PHP logic, database queries, API routes, JavaScript with no HTML/CSS component, CSS file audits, build tool configuration, and vanilla CSS.

Laravel test design and review. Use when selecting coverage, naming or structuring tests, choosing assertions or test data, isolating dependencies, testing HTTP or security boundaries, improving suite performance, or reviewing test value. Use framework guidance or search-docs for Pest and PHPUnit syntax.

Develops single-file Livewire components with Volt. Activates when creating Volt components, converting Livewire to Volt, working with @volt directive, functional or class-based Volt APIs; or when the user mentions Volt, single-file components, functional Livewire, or inline component logic in Blade files.
