README

A zero-JS, high-fidelity server-side diagnostics & profiling suite for Laravel 12.x / 13.x

What Is It?

Laravel Agent-Debugger is a premium require-dev diagnostic middleware suite that runs 100% server-side. It produces richly structured, compact log files designed to be read by both human developers and AI coding agents — with zero frontend JavaScript overhead, zero Composer runtime dependencies, and zero production leakage.

Quick Start

composer require --dev clcbws/laravel-agents-debug
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="LaravelAgentDebugger\DebugActivityServiceProvider"
php artisan agent:debug-on

Then visit your visual dashboard:

http://localhost/_agent_debug/dashboard

Origin Story

"I developed this package because in some projects I had to spend a lot of time just explaining the problem to my AI coding agents. I started with a lightweight middleware helper and kept adding features. Soon I realized other developers faced the same bottleneck, so I decided to share it with the community. This is an invention of need." — Ahtesham
