SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Laravel projects often ship with insecure defaults that expose authentication, authorization, input handling, and deployment configurations to risk. This Skill provides a comprehensive, opinionated set of security best practices to close common gaps and reduce exposure across the development lifecycle.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Middleware and guards enforce authentication and authorization boundaries, protect CSRF, and apply security headers.
  • Validation rules and mass-assignment protections prevent invalid input and data leakage.
  • Signed routes, encryption, and secure token handling safeguard sensitive data and session integrity.
  • Secrets management and secure deployment practices minimize credential exposure and configuration drift.
  • Use Case: Secure admin dashboards and API endpoints by enforcing strict access control and input validation in all requests.

Quick Start

Enable CSRF protection, configure trusted proxies, set APP_KEY securely, and enforce strong validation rules across your Laravel endpoints.
