Opinionated Laravel Skills & Commands for Claude Code

About

This is a curated collection of Laravel development patterns and practices I've refined over 20 years in the industry and 10+ years working with Laravel.

These are opinionated. They represent how I build Laravel applications—action-oriented architecture, strict typing, DTOs everywhere, and a relentless focus on maintainability. They won't be for everyone, and that's okay.

This is a work in progress. As I use these skills in real projects, I'm continuously refining them to better represent how I actually work. Expect updates as patterns evolve and edge cases reveal themselves.

Installation

composer require --dev leeovery/claude-laravel

That's it. The Claude Manager handles everything else automatically.

How It Works

This package depends on leeovery/claude-manager, which:

1. Symlinks skills into your project's .claude/skills/ directory
2. Symlinks commands into your project's .claude/commands/ directory
3. Manages your .gitignore with a deterministic list of linked skills and commands
4. Handles installation/removal automatically via Composer hooks

You don't need to configure anything—just install and start coding.
