description	Create an actionable Laravel implementation plan—bite-sized tasks with TDD-first steps, migrations, services, jobs, and validation points

Writing Plans (Laravel)

Turn a confirmed design into a sequence of small, testable steps. Include guardrails and validation before handoff.

Structure

1. Scaffolding
   • Runner: confirm Sail or host
   • Branch & workspace prep (worktrees optional)
2. Data Model
   • Migrations and factories (one commit per change)
   • Seeders if needed for demo flows
3. Services & Interfaces
   • Controllers/Requests/Resources (or actions)
   • Ports & adapters for external systems
   • Jobs/events/listeners as needed
4. Tests (TDD)
   • Feature tests for behavior; unit tests for pure logic
   • Use factories; verify failure first, then pass
5. Quality Gates
   • Pint, static analysis, tests clean
6. Rollout & Observability
   • Logs/metrics; Horizon queues; toggles/migrations safety

Example Task Format

• Add migration + model + factory for X
• Write failing feature test for route Y
• Implement controller + request + policy for Y
• Add service with port+adapter for Z
• Dispatch job; add listener + events as needed
• Verify queues; add tags and Horizon metrics
• Run quality checks; update docs

After writing the plan, use laravel:executing-plans to execute in batches.
