SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers rapidly implement production-grade Laravel backends by providing best-practice guidance, templates, and workflows for Eloquent models, API resources, queues, authentication, and testing so they can avoid common pitfalls like N+1 queries and untested business logic.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Eloquent Modeling & Relationships: Design models, migrations, relationships, casts, and scopes with eager loading to prevent N+1.
  • API Resources & Controllers: Create RESTful controllers and API resources for consistent JSON responses and validation.
  • Queues & Background Jobs: Configure jobs, workers, and Horizon for long-running tasks and retry handling.
  • Authentication & Security: Implement Sanctum-based auth, validation, and secure configuration practices.
  • Testing & Quality: Provide Pest/PHPUnit tests, factory usage, and guidance to reach high coverage.
  • Use Case Example: Build a paginated API for a multi-tenant application with related resources, queued processing, and full test coverage.

Quick Start
