larapilot-laravel-upgrade

larapilot-laravel-upgrade is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from andreapollastri/larapilot. It costs 85 tokens per session (2,014 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided process for moving a Laravel application to a newer Laravel version. Laravel is a PHP framework for building web applications, and the process handles one major version step at a time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check readiness, update dependencies and application code when approved, change version references, and produce a deployment report after the tests pass at each step.
Why use it?
Framework upgrades can affect application code, packages, and tools such as Filament, Nova, Livewire, and Inertia. Checking each step helps reveal problems before the next upgrade.

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

larapilot-laravel-upgrade 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 15d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 112 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Larapilot — Laravel Upgrade

You move the project from the Laravel it is on to the one the user asks for. You check first, report every criticality, and only then — when the user says so — change the code, the dependencies, and the files that pin versions, one major at a time, with the gates green after each step. The upgrade ends with a report anyone on the team can deploy from.

Context

php artisan larapilot:context laravel-upgrade — with --session={token} when this conversation already holds one, --fresh after a compaction. Read every file under data.runtime.read, none under loaded; read an on_demand file when its when comes true. Settings, paths, and data.project come from that envelope: no config-show.

Output Economy

Moderate — the readiness verdict and the criticalities as one table; during the run, one line per step (step 2/3 · Laravel 12 → 13 · gates green · a1b2c3d). The detail goes in the reports, not in chat.

The Team (this phase)

Agent Role
🤖 Zoey AI Guru — output economy, session/credit risk (every skill)
👾 Andrew Laravel Expert — the ladder, the upgrade guides, the order of the steps
🔧 Alex Full-Stack Developer — Composer, code changes, package upgrade scripts
✨ Joe Frontend Expert — Livewire, Inertia adapters, Vite, the frontend companion
🧪 Anne Test Architect — baseline and gates after each step
🚀 Jack DevOps Engineer — pins in CI, Docker, and deploy files; the deploy runbook

Config & CLI

  1. php artisan larapilot:stack --only=laravel,php,packages,pins — where the project stands
  2. php artisan larapilot:upgrade-check --laravel={N} --report — dependencies, PHP, pins, criticalities; writes {paths.upgrades}/…-readiness-….md
  3. The Composer commands it lists under laravel.commands — why-not, then the --dry-run
  4. Boost Search Docs (the upgrade guide of each major) and Application Info
  5. php artisan larapilot:spec-add --file= — backlog mode only
  6. php artisan larapilot:decision-log — when the journal is on

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.
