Laravel 11/12 App Guidelines

Overview

Apply a consistent workflow for Laravel 11/12 apps with optional frontend stacks, Dockerized commands, and Laravel Boost tooling.

Working agreement

Follow the user's request and applicable repository instructions over these defaults. Use existing authorization; ask only about missing decisions that materially affect scope, cost, safety, or the result. Continue independent authorized work while awaiting an answer.

Run in the main conversation by default. Delegation can increase usage: obtain explicit approval for the proposed agent count and scope before using subagents. Reuse that approval within its bounds; ask again before expanding the approved count or scope.

Quick Start

• Read applicable repository instructions and relevant documentation owners or indexes when present. Do not assume a docs/README.md exists.
• Detect installed versions, the stack, and command locations; do not guess.
• Use Laravel Boost search-docs for version-matched ecosystem guidance; use official versioned Laravel or package documentation if Boost is unavailable.
• Follow repo conventions for naming, UI language, docs-first policies, and existing component patterns.
