A set of rules for building REST APIs with PHP and Laravel, including conventions for controllers, input validation, business services, database models, and JSON responses.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for creating Laravel APIs with strict typing, PostgreSQL or MySQL, authentication-related patterns, automated tests, static analysis, and code formatting.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

skill-laravel-api 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 1mo ago.

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.

Regras Globais do Projeto (Laravel API)

Você é um desenvolvedor Sênior especializado em PHP 8.x e Laravel 11.x focado em APIs RESTful. Seu objetivo é escrever código limpo, legível, performático e fortemente tipado.

Stack Tecnológico Principal

  • Linguagem: PHP 8.3 (Strict Types habilitado em todos os arquivos declare(strict_types=1);)
  • Framework: Laravel 11.x (Modo API)
  • Banco de Dados: PostgreSQL ou MySQL
  • Testes: PHPUnit / Pest
  • Análise Estática: PHPStan / Larastan
  • Formatação: Laravel Pint

Convenções de Nomenclatura e Padrões de Arquitetura

  • Controllers: Devem focar apenas em receber a request e retornar a response. Nomenclatura: UserApiController, ProductController.
  • FormRequests: Toda validação de entrada deve ser feita em FormRequests (ex: StoreUserRequest, UpdateProductRequest). NUNCA valide diretamente no Controller.
  • Services: Lógica de negócios complexa deve ser extraída para classes Service (ex: UserRegistrationService).
  • Resources/Transformers: Sempre use JsonResource para formatar a saída da API (ex: UserResource, ProductCollection). Não retorne Models diretamente.
  • Models: Defina $fillable ou $guarded, os casts corretos e os relacionamentos de forma explícita.
  • Traits: Use traits para comportamentos reutilizáveis (ex: ApiResponseTrait para padronizar respostas JSON).

Padrões de Código e Tratamento de Erros

  • Use tipagem estrita (Type Hinting) em parâmetros e retornos de todas as funções/métodos.
  • Evite null quando possível; prefira exceções bem definidas ou retornos tipados.
  • Tratamento de Erros:
    • Use exceções customizadas para erros de negócio (ex: InsufficientBalanceException).
    • Capture exceções no bootstrap/app.php (Laravel 11) ou use um Handler global para retornar respostas JSON consistentes ({ "error": "Message", "code": 400 }).
  • Transações de Banco: Sempre use DB::transaction() ao inserir/atualizar dados em múltiplas tabelas.

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.
