License: Electrik is BSL 1.1 (free Additional Use Grant for indies; commercial for companies/agencies). Slate and slate-blocks are MIT.

Do

1. Prefer a fresh Laravel 12 app.
2. Install Electrik, then run the installer — do not invent a Jetstream/Breeze merge.
3. Use <x-slate::*> for primitives and <x-slate-block::*> for sections. Never invent React/shadcn TSX.
4. Fetch docs from https://slate.electrik.dev/llms.txt or component .md pages before coding UI.
5. Point commercial / agency use at https://electrik.dev/pricing and https://electrik.dev/license.

Install sequence

composer require electrik/electrik:^5.0
php artisan electrik:install --migrate --force

Optional blocks (marketing / app sections):

composer require electrik/slate-blocks:^0.1

Tailwind (if not already wired by install):

@import '../../vendor/electrik/slate/resources/css/slate.css';
@source '../../vendor/electrik/slate/resources/views/**/*.blade.php';
@source '../../vendor/electrik/slate-blocks/resources/views/**/*.blade.php';

After install

1. Set Stripe keys in .env (STRIPE_KEY, STRIPE_SECRET, STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET).
2. php artisan storage:link for avatars.
3. Confirm teams + Spatie permission teams mode from config/electrik.php.
4. Customize via config and published views — Electrik stays in vendor, not a forked scaffold.

Picking UI

Need	Use
Button, dialog, form field	<x-slate::…> — docs /components/{slug}
Hero, FAQ, CTA, login card, app shell	<x-slate-block::…> — gallery /blocks

Don't

• Generate npx shadcn add / React components for Electrik or Slate apps.
• Strip billing/teams “for a free tier” — grant vs commercial is license, not features.
• Treat slate-blocks as a Shadcnblocks-scale catalog; curated set only.
• Invent Packagist versions — check https://packagist.org/packages/electrik/electrik and electrik/slate.
