Laravel Mix

⚠ Deprecated — superseded by laravel/vite. Laravel Mix is no longer the default; use Vite for asset bundling. Removal planned: 2028-01-15.

When to use

• The user must maintain or debug an existing webpack.mix.js Laravel Mix asset pipeline that has not been migrated to Vite.
• The user needs to fix or explain the mix() Blade helper and the mix-manifest.json it reads in a legacy project.
• The user needs to edit webpack.mix.js chained calls such as mix.js, mix.sass, or mix.version in a legacy build.

When NOT to use

• Do not use this skill to design the target Vite setup when migrating away from Mix; use laravel/vite for the destination pipeline.
• Do not use this skill for a new Laravel app or a fresh asset pipeline; use laravel/vite instead.
