0012-laravel-architecture

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of inconsistent, hard-to-maintain Laravel project structure by prescribing high-level architecture decisions, patterns, and a predictable organization for domain, HTTP, and data flow.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Pattern selection guidance: match use cases to the right building block (Actions, DTOs, builders, state machines, services, workflows).
• Project structure rules: establish a clear directory and namespace organization, separating web vs API layers.
• Decision principles and constraints: enforce thin HTTP layers, DTO boundaries, strict typing, and safe delegation (jobs/listeners/jobs delegate to actions).
• Implementation support links: points to references like philosophy, patterns, decisions, structure, examples, and a post-setup checklist for onboarding a new project.

Quick Start

Use the 0012-laravel-architecture skill to design your Laravel codebase structure for a new feature by mapping each step (HTTP input, validation, domain work, persistence, and response formatting) to the appropriate pattern and directory.
