Laravel 13 App Guidelines

Overview

Use a repository-first workflow for Laravel 13 work. Detect the actual framework, packages, frontend, command runner, and local conventions before selecting a Laravel pattern; do not turn optional Laravel 13 capabilities into dependencies.

This skill owns version-specific Laravel implementation and upgrade guidance, not the whole task lifecycle. Keep routine testing, documentation, Docker command execution, and UI reuse as supporting work. Return routing control to project-development-mindset if debugging, test strategy, local container topology, UI concept work, or deployment becomes the primary concern.

Run this skill in the main conversation. Do not spawn subagents, agent teams, or delegated parallel workers unless the user explicitly approves the proposed agent count and scope after being told that delegation can increase usage. Ask again before expanding the approved scope.
