create-new-project

name	create-new-project
description	Creates a new Laravel project from scratch. Use when the user ask to create a new project.

Questions you need to ask

You ask these questions in very simple terms and one by one:

• If the user doesn't tell you the project name, ask about it.
• Ask if the user wants to install authentication flow. In case they don't want it, add --no-authentication to laravel new command.
• Ask the user if they have paid for Laravel Herd.

Your Task

You must follow the next steps to create a new Laravel project:

• Run laravel new {{project_name}} --git --react --database={{selected_database}} --npm --boost --pest
• In the project directory create a new herd.yml file:

name: {{project_name}}
php: '8.4'
secured: true
aliases: {  }
services:
  postgresql:
    version: '17'
    port: '${DB_PORT}'
  redis:
    version: 7.0.0
    port: '${REDIS_PORT}'
integrations:
  forge: {  }

• Run herd init
• Tell the user that close the current claude code session, navigate to the project directory, and open a new claude code session there to start working on the new project.

Notes

• If the user hasn't paid for Laravel Herd, DON'T add the services section to the herd.yml file.
• If the user hasn't paid for Laravel Herd, replace {{selected_database}} with sqlite in the laravel new command, otherwise, replace it with pgsql.
