Apply this skill whenever writing, reviewing, or refactoring Laravel PHP code. This includes creating or modifying controllers, models, migrations, form requests, policies, jobs, scheduled commands, service classes, and Eloquent queries. Triggers for N+1 and query performance issues, caching strategies, authorization and security patterns, validation, error handling, queue and job configuration, route definitions, and architectural decisions. Also use for Laravel code reviews and refactoring existing Laravel code to follow best practices. Covers any task involving Laravel backend PHP code patterns.
Use this skill for Pest PHP testing in Laravel projects only. Trigger whenever any test is being written, edited, fixed, or refactored — including fixing tests that broke after a code change, adding assertions, converting PHPUnit to Pest, adding datasets, and TDD workflows. Always activate when the user asks how to write something in Pest, mentions test files or directories (tests/Feature, tests/Unit) or architecture tests. Covers: test()/it()/expect() syntax, datasets, mocking, browser testing, arch(), Livewire component tests, RefreshDatabase, and all Pest 3 features. Do not use for editing factories, seeders, migrations, controllers, models, or non-test PHP code.

Supports structured output, streaming, tools, conversation memory, middleware, queueing, broadcasting, and provider failover. Use when building, editing, updating, debugging, or testing any AI functionality, including agents, LLMs, chatbots, text generation, image generation, audio, transcription, embeddings, RAG, similarity search, vector stores, prompting, structured output, or any AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Cohere, Groq, xAI, ElevenLabs, Jina, OpenRouter).
