skills: Instructions file for Claude Code

AGENTS.md

Guidance for AI coding agents working in this repository.

Repository Overview

A collection of Laravel engineering skills for AI coding agents. Five skills, 201 rules, targeting Laravel ^12.0 || ^13.0 on PHP ^8.3.

This repo contains documentation, not application code. There is no PHP to run — the PHP in rule files is illustrative.

Commands

npm run build      # regenerate every skills/*/AGENTS.md
npm run validate   # structural checks; exits non-zero on error
npm run lint       # cross-rule checks on the code in every Correct example
npm run check      # all three
npm run release    # cut a release from main

Always run npm run check before committing. CI fails if AGENTS.md is stale.

Examples must obey the other rules

validate.mjs checks a rule's structure. lint-examples.mjs checks its content: it walks every fenced block in SKILL.md, rules/ and references/ plus every examples/**/*.php, classifies each block as correct or incorrect by the nearest **Correct / **Incorrect marker, and holds the correct ones to the rest of the rule set — no side effect dispatched inside DB::transaction(), no scope-prefixed methods, no serialize() in a cache key, no query construction inside a Controller, Job, Listener or Command, no driver-specific SQL outside an Expression class, no CRUD-shaped repository methods, one PHP type per example file, and php -l over the worked examples.
