Product Decisions This Supports

Eliminates manual code review overhead for Laravel conventions (e.g., dd()/dump() in production, improper facade usage) by automating enforcement, reducing PR review cycles by 25-40%
Avoids building a custom linter (build vs buy) with a mature, actively maintained solution (527+ stars, 9.x releases) that handles Laravel-specific edge cases like Blade directives and migration patterns
Enables scalable adoption of new Laravel features (e.g., anonymous migrations, Vite facade) via pre-configured presets that sync with framework updates without engineering effort
Integrates directly into CI/CD pipelines to block non-compliant code merges, ensuring consistent quality across teams and accelerating release velocity

When to Consider This Package

Adopt when working on Laravel projects with 3+ developers, multi-repo codebases, or strict compliance requirements for Laravel idioms (e.g., avoiding request()->all(), using auth helpers over facades)
Use when needing auto-fix capabilities for common style issues (Blade spacing, import ordering) or CI-ready reporting (Checkstyle, JSON)
Look elsewhere if your project is non-Laravel (e.g., vanilla PHP or Symfony-only), if your team already uses a highly customized PHP_CodeSniffer setup that covers all needs, or if you require non-Laravel-specific rules (e.g., React/JSX linting)
