Skills Activation

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

• fluxui-development — Develops UIs with Flux UI Free components. Activates when creating buttons, forms, modals, inputs, dropdowns, checkboxes, or UI components; replacing HTML form elements with Flux; working with flux: components; or when the user mentions Flux, component library, UI components, form fields, or asks about available Flux components.
• livewire-development — Develops reactive Livewire 4 components. Activates when creating, updating, or modifying Livewire components; working with wire:model, wire:click, wire:loading, or any wire: directives; adding real-time updates, loading states, or reactivity; debugging component behavior; writing Livewire tests; or when the user mentions Livewire, component, counter, or reactive UI.
• pest-testing — Tests applications using the Pest 4 PHP framework. Activates when writing tests, creating unit or feature tests, adding assertions, testing Livewire components, browser testing, debugging test failures, working with datasets or mocking; or when the user mentions test, spec, TDD, expects, assertion, coverage, or needs to verify functionality works.
• tailwindcss-development — Styles applications using Tailwind CSS v4 utilities. Activates when adding styles, restyling components, working with gradients, spacing, layout, flex, grid, responsive design, dark mode, colors, typography, or borders; or when the user mentions CSS, styling, classes, Tailwind, restyle, hero section, cards, buttons, or any visual/UI changes.
• developing-with-fortify — Laravel Fortify headless authentication backend development. Activate when implementing authentication features including login, registration, password reset, email verification, two-factor authentication (2FA/TOTP), profile updates, headless auth, authentication scaffolding, or auth guards in Laravel applications.

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.

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.

=== boost rules ===

Laravel Boost

• Laravel Boost is an MCP server that comes with powerful tools designed specifically for this application. Use them.

Artisan

• Use the list-artisan-commands tool when you need to call an Artisan command to double-check the available parameters.

URLs

• Whenever you share a project URL with the user, you should use the get-absolute-url tool to ensure you're using the correct scheme, domain/IP, and port.

Tinker / Debugging

• You should use the tinker tool when you need to execute PHP to debug code or query Eloquent models directly.
• Use the database-query tool when you only need to read from the database.
• Use the database-schema tool to inspect table structure before writing migrations or models.

Reading Browser Logs With the browser-logs Tool

• You can read browser logs, errors, and exceptions using the browser-logs tool from Boost.
• Only recent browser logs will be useful - ignore old logs.

Searching Documentation (Critically Important)

• Boost comes with a powerful search-docs tool you should use before trying other approaches when working with Laravel or Laravel ecosystem packages. This tool automatically passes a list of installed packages and their versions to the remote Boost API, so it returns only version-specific documentation for the user's circumstance. You should pass an array of packages to filter on if you know you need docs for particular packages.
• Search the documentation before making code changes to ensure we are taking the correct approach.
• Use multiple, broad, simple, topic-based queries at once. For example: ['rate limiting', 'routing rate limiting', 'routing']. The most relevant results will be returned first.
• Do not add package names to queries; package information is already shared. For example, use test resource table, not filament 4 test resource table.

Available Search Syntax

1. Simple Word Searches with auto-stemming - query=authentication - finds 'authenticate' and 'auth'.
2. Multiple Words (AND Logic) - query=rate limit - finds knowledge containing both "rate" AND "limit".
3. Quoted Phrases (Exact Position) - query="infinite scroll" - words must be adjacent and in that order.
4. Mixed Queries - query=middleware "rate limit" - "middleware" AND exact phrase "rate limit".
5. Multiple Queries - queries=["authentication", "middleware"] - ANY of these terms.

=== php rules ===

PHP

• Always use curly braces for control structures, even for single-line bodies.

Constructors

• Use PHP 8 constructor property promotion in __construct().
  • public function __construct(public GitHub $github) { }
• Do not allow empty __construct() methods with zero parameters unless the constructor is private.

Type Declarations

• Always use explicit return type declarations for methods and functions.
• Use appropriate PHP type hints for method parameters.

protected function isAccessible(User $user, ?string $path = null): bool
{
    ...
}

Enums

• Typically, keys in an Enum should be TitleCase. For example: FavoritePerson, BestLake, Monthly.

Comments

• Prefer PHPDoc blocks over inline comments. Never use comments within the code itself unless the logic is exceptionally complex.

PHPDoc Blocks

• Add useful array shape type definitions when appropriate.

=== tests rules ===

Test Enforcement

• Every change must be programmatically tested. Write a new test or update an existing test, then run the affected tests to make sure they pass.
• Run the minimum number of tests needed to ensure code quality and speed. Use php artisan test --compact with a specific filename or filter.

=== 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 the list-artisan-commands tool.
• 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.

Database

• Always use proper Eloquent relationship methods with return type hints. Prefer relationship methods over raw queries or manual joins.
• Use Eloquent models and relationships before suggesting raw database queries.
• Avoid DB::; prefer Model::query(). Generate code that leverages Laravel's ORM capabilities rather than bypassing them.
• Generate code that prevents N+1 query problems by using eager loading.
• Use Laravel's query builder for very complex database operations.

Model Creation

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

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.

Controllers & Validation

• Always create Form Request classes for validation rather than inline validation in controllers. Include both validation rules and custom error messages.
• Check sibling Form Requests to see if the application uses array or string based validation rules.

Authentication & Authorization

• Use Laravel's built-in authentication and authorization features (gates, policies, Sanctum, etc.).

URL Generation

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

Queues

• Use queued jobs for time-consuming operations with the ShouldQueue interface.

Configuration

• Use environment variables only in configuration files - never use the env() function directly outside of config files. Always use config('app.name'), not env('APP_NAME').

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.

=== laravel/v12 rules ===

Laravel 12

• CRITICAL: ALWAYS use search-docs tool for version-specific Laravel documentation and updated code examples.
• Since Laravel 11, Laravel has a new streamlined file structure which this project uses.

Laravel 12 Structure

• In Laravel 12, middleware are no longer registered in app/Http/Kernel.php.
• Middleware are configured declaratively in bootstrap/app.php using Application::configure()->withMiddleware().
• bootstrap/app.php is the file to register middleware, exceptions, and routing files.
• bootstrap/providers.php contains application specific service providers.
• The app\Console\Kernel.php file no longer exists; use bootstrap/app.php or routes/console.php for console configuration.
• Console commands in app/Console/Commands/ are automatically available and do not require manual registration.

Database

• When modifying a column, the migration must include all of the attributes that were previously defined on the column. Otherwise, they will be dropped and lost.
• Laravel 12 allows limiting eagerly loaded records natively, without external packages: $query->latest()->limit(10);.

Models

• Casts can and likely should be set in a casts() method on a model rather than the $casts property. Follow existing conventions from other models.

=== fluxui-free/core rules ===

Flux UI Free

• Flux UI is the official Livewire component library. This project uses the free edition, which includes all free components and variants but not Pro components.
• Use <flux:*> components when available; they are the recommended way to build Livewire interfaces.
• IMPORTANT: Activate fluxui-development when working with Flux UI components.

=== livewire/core rules ===

Livewire

• Livewire allows you to build dynamic, reactive interfaces using only PHP — no JavaScript required.
• Instead of writing frontend code in JavaScript frameworks, you use Alpine.js to build the UI when client-side interactions are required.
• State lives on the server; the UI reflects it. Validate and authorize in actions (they're like HTTP requests).
• IMPORTANT: Activate livewire-development every time you're working with Livewire-related tasks.

=== 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}.
• Run tests: php artisan test --compact or filter: php artisan test --compact --filter=testName.
• Do NOT delete tests without approval.
• CRITICAL: ALWAYS use search-docs tool for version-specific Pest documentation and updated code examples.
• IMPORTANT: Activate pest-testing every time you're working with a Pest or testing-related task.

=== tailwindcss/core rules ===

Tailwind CSS

• Always use existing Tailwind conventions; check project patterns before adding new ones.
• IMPORTANT: Always use search-docs tool for version-specific Tailwind CSS documentation and updated code examples. Never rely on training data.
• IMPORTANT: Activate tailwindcss-development every time you're working with a Tailwind CSS or styling-related task.

=== laravel/fortify rules ===

Laravel Fortify

• Fortify is a headless authentication backend that provides authentication routes and controllers for Laravel applications.
• IMPORTANT: Always use the search-docs tool for detailed Laravel Fortify patterns and documentation.
• IMPORTANT: Activate developing-with-fortify skill when working with Fortify authentication features.
