A reference for building PHP 8.2 and Laravel 11 applications, including common folders, framework patterns, commands, and tools such as Eloquent for working with database records.

Planning project folders, writing controllers, services, models, migrations, validation, API responses, tests, and everyday Laravel commands.

It gives developers a shared structure and set of conventions for organizing Laravel backend code.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00021	$0.00476
Opus 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00190
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00095
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00048

Security

Grade A, and why

php-stack 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 11d 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.

Key Artisan Commands

php artisan test --filter=Name   # run specific test
php artisan migrate --pretend    # dry-run migration
php artisan make:model X -mfc   # model + migration + factory + controller
php artisan route:list           # show routes
php artisan tinker               # REPL

For Make commands see docker-workflow skill.

Patterns

Repository pattern – Contracts + Repositories, bound in RepositoriesProvider
Service classes – stateless, injected via constructor DI
Thin controllers – delegate to services, no business logic
FormRequest validation – never validate in controllers
PHP 8.1+ Enums – backed enums with traits
Config over env – use config() not env() in app code
Queue heavy work – email, API calls, reports

Code Quality

Pint (PSR-12), Larastan/PHPStan, PHPUnit 11, Allure reporting. Check composer.json for versions.

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.
