Skills Activation

This project has domain-specific skills available in **/skills/**. You MUST activate the relevant skill whenever you work in that domain—don't wait until you're stuck.

Conventions

• You must follow all existing code conventions used in this application. When creating or editing a file, check sibling files for the correct structure, approach, and naming.
• Use descriptive names for variables and methods. For example, isRegisteredForDiscounts, not discount().
• Check for existing components to reuse before writing a new one.
• Do not create tests or run tests.

Verification Scripts

• Do not create verification scripts or tinker when tests cover that functionality and prove they work. Unit and feature tests are more important.

Application Structure & Architecture

• Stick to existing directory structure; don't create new base folders without approval.
• Do not change the application's dependencies without approval.

Frontend Bundling

• If the user doesn't see a frontend change reflected in the UI, it could mean they need to run npm run build, npm run dev, or composer run dev. Ask them.

Documentation Files

• You must only create documentation files if explicitly requested by the user.

Replies

• Be concise in your explanations - focus on what's important rather than explaining obvious details.

Laravel Boost

Tools

• Laravel Boost is an MCP server with tools designed specifically for this application. Prefer Boost tools over manual alternatives like shell commands or file reads.
• Use database-query to run read-only queries against the database instead of writing raw SQL in tinker.
• Use database-schema to inspect table structure before writing migrations or models.
• Use get-absolute-url to resolve the correct scheme, domain, and port for project URLs. Always use this before sharing a URL with the user.
• Use browser-logs to read browser logs, errors, and exceptions. Only recent logs are useful, ignore old entries.

Searching Documentation (IMPORTANT)

• Always use search-docs before making code changes. Do not skip this step. It returns version-specific docs based on installed packages automatically.
• Pass a packages array to scope results when you know which packages are relevant.
• Use multiple broad, topic-based queries: ['rate limiting', 'routing rate limiting', 'routing']. Expect the most relevant results first.
• Do not add package names to queries because package info is already shared. Use test resource table, not filament 4 test resource table.

Search Syntax

1. Use words for auto-stemmed AND logic: rate limit matches both "rate" AND "limit".
2. Use "quoted phrases" for exact position matching: "infinite scroll" requires adjacent words in order.
3. Combine words and phrases for mixed queries: middleware "rate limit".
4. Use multiple queries for OR logic: queries=["authentication", "middleware"].

Artisan

• Run Artisan commands directly via the command line (e.g., php artisan route:list). Use php artisan list to discover available commands and php artisan [command] --help to check parameters.
• Inspect routes with php artisan route:list. Filter with: --method=GET, --name=users, --path=api, --except-vendor, --only-vendor.
• Read configuration values using dot notation: php artisan config:show app.name, php artisan config:show database.default. Or read config files directly from the config/ directory.

Tinker

• Execute PHP in app context for debugging and testing code. Do not create models without user approval, prefer tests with factories instead. Prefer existing Artisan commands over custom tinker code.
• Always use single quotes to prevent shell expansion: php artisan tinker --execute 'Your::code();'
  • Double quotes for PHP strings inside: php artisan tinker --execute 'User::where("active", true)->count();'

=== php rules ===

PHP

• Always use curly braces for control structures, even for single-line bodies.
• Use PHP 8 constructor property promotion: public function __construct(public GitHub $github) { }. Do not leave empty zero-parameter __construct() methods unless the constructor is private.
• Use explicit return type declarations and type hints for all method parameters: function isAccessible(User $user, ?string $path = null): bool
• Use TitleCase for Enum keys: FavoritePerson, BestLake, Monthly.
• Prefer PHPDoc blocks over inline comments. Only add inline comments for exceptionally complex logic.
• Use array shape type definitions in PHPDoc blocks.

=== deployments rules ===

Deployment

• Laravel can be deployed using Laravel Cloud, which is the fastest way to deploy and scale production Laravel applications.

=== tests rules ===

Inertia

• Inertia creates fully client-side rendered SPAs without modern SPA complexity, leveraging existing server-side patterns.
• Components live in resources/js/pages (unless specified in vite.config.js). Use Inertia::render() for server-side routing instead of Blade views.
• ALWAYS use search-docs tool for version-specific Inertia documentation and updated code examples.
• IMPORTANT: Activate inertia-react-development when working with Inertia client-side patterns.

Inertia v3

• Use all Inertia features from v1, v2, and v3. Check the documentation before making changes to ensure the correct approach.
• New v3 features: standalone HTTP requests (useHttp hook), optimistic updates with automatic rollback, layout props (useLayoutProps hook), instant visits, simplified SSR via @inertiajs/vite plugin, custom exception handling for error pages.
• Carried over from v2: deferred props, infinite scroll, merging props, polling, prefetching, once props, flash data.
• When using deferred props, add an empty state with a pulsing or animated skeleton.
• Axios has been removed. Use the built-in XHR client with interceptors, or install Axios separately if needed.
• Inertia::lazy() / LazyProp has been removed. Use Inertia::optional() instead.
• Prop types (Inertia::optional(), Inertia::defer(), Inertia::merge()) work inside nested arrays with dot-notation paths.
• SSR works automatically in Vite dev mode with @inertiajs/vite - no separate Node.js server needed during development.
• Event renames: invalid is now httpException, exception is now networkError.
• router.cancel() replaced by router.cancelAll().
• The future configuration namespace has been removed - all v2 future options are now always enabled.

=== laravel/core rules ===

Do Things the Laravel Way

• Use php artisan make: commands to create new files (i.e. migrations, controllers, models, etc.). You can list available Artisan commands using php artisan list and check their parameters with php artisan [command] --help.
• If you're creating a generic PHP class, use php artisan make:class.
• Pass --no-interaction to all Artisan commands to ensure they work without user input. You should also pass the correct --options to ensure correct behavior.

Model Creation

• When creating new models, create useful factories and seeders for them too. Ask the user if they need any other things, using php artisan make:model --help to check the available options.

APIs & Eloquent Resources

• For APIs, default to using Eloquent API Resources and API versioning unless existing API routes do not, then you should follow existing application convention.

URL Generation

• When generating links to other pages, prefer named routes and the route() function.

Testing

• When creating models for tests, use the factories for the models. Check if the factory has custom states that can be used before manually setting up the model.
• Faker: Use methods such as $this->faker->word() or fake()->randomDigit(). Follow existing conventions whether to use $this->faker or fake().
• When creating tests, make use of php artisan make:test [options] {name} to create a feature test, and pass --unit to create a unit test. Most tests should be feature tests.

Vite Error

• If you receive an "Illuminate\Foundation\ViteException: Unable to locate file in Vite manifest" error, you can run npm run build or ask the user to run npm run dev or composer run dev.

Action Classes for Business Logic

Overview

Action classes are used in this application to separate business logic from controllers. Each action class encapsulates a specific use case or business operation.

Naming Conventions

Action classes follow the pattern App\Actions\[Domain]\{ActionName}Action.php:

• Domain: Logical grouping (Booking, Frontdesk, Food, Guest, GuestRequest, Guest\Guest, etc.)
• Action Name: Past participle verb (Create, Update, Delete, CheckIn, CheckOut, Suspend, etc.)

Method Patterns

Create Actions

Actions that create new resources use the create($data): Model pattern:

• Takes only the data needed for creation as a parameter
• Returns the newly created model instance
• Example: CreateFoodItemAction, CreateBookingAction

State Change Actions

Actions that modify existing models use the handle($model, $data): Model pattern:

• Takes the existing model instance as first parameter
• Takes optional data for the modification as second parameter
• Returns the updated model instance
• Example: UpdateFoodItemAction, CheckInAction

Controller Usage

In controllers, action classes are injected as dependencies and used as follows:

For Create Actions

public function store(Request $request, CreateFoodItemAction $createFoodItem): RedirectResponse
{
    $validated = $request->validate([...]);
    
    if ($request->hasFile('image')) {
        $validated['image'] = $request->file('image')->store('images/food', 'public');
    }
    
    $createFoodItem->handle($validated);
    
    return redirect()->route('food.index');
}

For State Change Actions

public function checkIn(Request $request, Reservation $reservation, CheckInAction $checkIn): RedirectResponse
{
    $this->authorize('checkIn', $reservation);
    
    try {
        $checkIn->handle($reservation);
    } catch (\RuntimeException $e) {
        return back()->withErrors(['checkin' => $e->getMessage()]);
    }
    
    Inertia::flash('toast', [
        'type' => 'success',
        'message' => 'Guest checked in successfully.',
    ]);
    
    return back();
}

Error Handling

Action classes throw \RuntimeException for business logic errors:

• Controllers catch these exceptions and convert them to user-friendly messages
• Validation errors are handled using form request validation
• Success messages are displayed using Inertia's flash method

Service Location

Action classes are placed in app/Actions\{Feature}\ directories to organize business logic by feature domain.

Benefits

• Separation of Concerns: Business logic is separated from HTTP request handling
• Testability: Action classes can be tested independently without middleware or authentication
• Reusability: Action classes can be used by both web controllers and API endpoints
• Maintainability: Clear organization of business logic by domain
• Consistency: Standardized patterns for creating and modifying resources

=== wayfinder/core rules ===

Laravel Wayfinder

Use Wayfinder to generate TypeScript functions for Laravel routes. Import from @/actions/ (controllers) or @/routes/ (named routes).

=== pint/core rules ===

Laravel Pint Code Formatter

• If you have modified any PHP files, you must run vendor/bin/pint --dirty --format agent before finalizing changes to ensure your code matches the project's expected style.
• Do not run vendor/bin/pint --test --format agent, simply run vendor/bin/pint --format agent to fix any formatting issues.

=== pest/core rules ===

Pest

• This project uses Pest for testing. Create tests: php artisan make:test --pest {name}.
• The {name} argument should not include the test suite directory. Use php artisan make:test --pest SomeFeatureTest instead of php artisan make:test --pest Feature/SomeFeatureTest.
• Run tests: php artisan test --compact or filter: php artisan test --compact --filter=testName.
• Do NOT delete tests without approval.

=== inertia-react/core rules ===

Inertia + React

• IMPORTANT: Activate inertia-react-development when working with Inertia React client-side patterns.
