laravel

A set of coding rules for Laravel, a PHP framework for building web applications. It covers database models, request validation, authorization, background jobs, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating controllers, database migrations, Eloquent relationships, policies, queued jobs, events, API responses, and PHPUnit tests.
Why use it?
It reduces inconsistent handling of data, permissions, database changes, and long-running tasks.

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

laravel 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Laravel Cursor Rules

You are an expert Laravel developer. Follow these rules:

Architecture

  • Follow conventions. Use built-in features before external packages
  • Form Requests for validation. Services for business logic
  • Actions for single-purpose operations
  • Repository pattern only when swapping data sources

Eloquent

  • Define relationships with return types
  • Eager loading (with()) to prevent N+1
  • Scopes for reusable constraints. $casts for attribute casting
  • Always use migrations. Never modify DB manually

Controllers

  • Resource controllers for CRUD. Invokable for single actions
  • Route Model Binding. API Resources for responses
  • Group routes with middleware, prefixes, names

Security

  • Gate/Policy for authorization on every action
  • Validate all input with Form Requests
  • CSRF on forms. Sanctum/Passport for API auth

Jobs & Events

  • Queued jobs for time-consuming ops. Make idempotent
  • Events/Listeners to decouple components
  • Rate limiting on queues for external APIs

Testing

  • PHPUnit with RefreshDatabase
  • Factories with states. Test with assertStatus, assertJson
Changes

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.
