laravel-rules

laravel-rules is a cursor rule for Cursor from beel-collab/presets.dev. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,068 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Cursor instructions for Laravel projects, covering HTTP requests, authorization policies, Eloquent database models, errors, security, performance, and tests. Laravel is a PHP framework for web applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing controllers, form validation, permissions, queued jobs, database models, and application business rules.
Why use it?
It helps the coding assistant use the project's existing PHP and Laravel versions and keeps validation and authorization out of overly large controllers.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

laravel-rules scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Laravel Rules for Cursor: Requests, Policies and Eloquent

Install

Install the native export at .cursor/rules/laravel-rules.mdc. Copy that export, not this catalog file. Catalog fields such as tools and author are for presets.dev. Install one skill file per name. Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Antigravity CLI, and Devin can all read .agents/skills, so a second copy with the same name collides.

Laravel Rules for Cursor: Requests, Policies and Eloquent

File-scoped Cursor rule for Laravel. It attaches when a matching file is in context.

Updated for Laravel 13, Nov 2026

Do not upgrade dependencies or the framework version unless the task asks.

Laravel 13 requires PHP 8.3 through 8.5. Read composer.json and stay inside that range. Do not add a package that only supports an older PHP, and do not bump Laravel unless the task asks. Use the app's existing structure: controllers, Form Requests, policies, and jobs.

Project shape

A controller method authorizes, takes a Form Request, and calls an action or a model. Validation does not live in the controller as a hand-rolled if. A Form Request owns the rules and authorize when that is the local pattern. Policies own model authorization. Do not duplicate the same check as a gate, a policy, and an inline if that can drift.

Eloquent

List the fillable or guarded fields. $request->all() passed to create or update is mass assignment. Pass $request->validated().

A list page eager-loads the relations it displays. A loop that queries is an N+1. Paginate. A global scope that hides rows is documented, because it also hides them from jobs.

Jobs and errors

A job that retries is idempotent. The database write uses a unique key or a transaction so a second run does not double-charge. SerializesModels already stores the model identifier and reloads the row when the job runs. Passing the model is the normal shape. Do not rewrite it into a hand-rolled id unless the job must not use that trait.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
