description	Interactive design refinement tailored to Laravel projects; clarify domain, data, interfaces, testing, and quality gates while accounting for Sail/non‑Sail environments

Brainstorming (Laravel)

Use this when shaping features or refactors. Keep answers concise, then propose a design and gather confirmation before planning.

Ask (one at a time)

• Goal: What outcome should users achieve?
• Domain: Which bounded contexts or packages are involved?
• Data: New models/relations? Required queries and invariants?
• Interfaces: HTTP/API/CLI? Required inputs/outputs? Authz?
• Side‑effects: Email, storage, queues, external systems?
• Performance: Throughput, latency, pagination, N+1 risks?
• Observability: Logs, metrics, events, failure handling?
• Testing: TDD entry point, fixtures/factories, edge cases?
• Environment: Sail or host? DB/cache/mail/storage availability?

Propose

Present a design of 200–300 words, covering:

• Routes/contracts, validation, DTOs/transformers
• Services (ports+adapters, strategies/pipelines)
• Data model changes and migrations
• Jobs/events/listeners where relevant
• Test strategy (feature/unit), factories and seeds
• Quality gates and rollout plan

Prepare Next Steps

Suggest a short implementation plan; then use laravel:writing-plans to formalize it.
