What problem does it solve? Laravel applications often grow into tangled codebases with fat controllers, inconsistent queries, and N+1 performance problems. This Skill provides production-grade architectural patterns that keep Laravel apps maintainable, testable, and scalable. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Layered Architecture: Structure apps with thin controllers delegating to services and single-purpose action classes, with form request validation and DTOs. - Eloquent Best Practices: Typed models with casts, query scopes, eager loading to avoid N+1 queries, transactions, and global scopes with soft deletes. - API & Infrastructure Patterns: Consistent API resources with pagination, scoped route-model binding for multi-tenant safety, queues, events, caching, and environment-based configuration. - Use Case: When building a multi-tenant Laravel API, apply scoped route bindings to prevent cross-tenant access, wrap multi-step writes in transactions, and return paginated resource responses with a consistent envelope. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to scaffold a Laravel orders endpoint using thin controllers, an action class, form request validation, and a paginated API resource response.
