laravel:writing-plans

To turn a confirmed Laravel design into actionable tasks, you need a structured planning process that breaks down scaffolding, data models, services, and TDD into small, testable steps with clear acceptance criteria. This approach transforms designs into bite-sized implementation sequences.

The best way to plan Laravel migrations and factories is to define them with a one-commit-per-change approach. This ensures your data model planning includes discrete, testable tasks for schema changes, demo seeders, and validation checkpoints.

Structuring a Laravel TDD plan involves sequencing tasks for controllers, requests, resources, and ports for external systems. It uses a failure-first approach to define feature tests covering behavior and unit tests for pure logic using factories.

Yes, you need a confirmed design before planning Laravel implementations. The planning process requires a finalized design as input to reliably transform it into a structured, testable plan with concrete tasks, guardrails, and rollout observability.

To plan quality gates and rollout observability for Laravel projects, define tasks for static analysis, linting, and test hygiene. Include steps for logging, metrics integration, horizon queues, and flag-based rollout safety in your implementation sequence.
