## Skills
A skill is a set of local instructions to follow that is stored in a `SKILL.md` file. Below is the list of skills that can be used. Each entry includes a name, description, and file path so you can open the source for full instructions when using a specific skill.
### Available skills
- imagegen: Generate or edit raster images when the task benefits from AI-created bitmap visuals such as photos, illustrations, textures, sprites, mockups, or transparent-background cutouts. Use when Codex should create a brand-new image, transform an existing image, or derive visual variants from references, and the output should be a bitmap asset rather than repo-native code or vector. Do not use when the task is better handled by editing existing SVG/vector/code-native assets, extending an established icon or logo system, or building the visual directly in HTML/CSS/canvas. (file: /Users/fabianwesner/.codex/skills/.system/imagegen/SKILL.md)
- openai-docs: Use when the user asks how to build with OpenAI products or APIs and needs up-to-date official documentation with citations, help choosing the latest model for a use case, or model upgrade and prompt-upgrade guidance; prioritize OpenAI docs MCP tools, use bundled references only as helper context, and restrict any fallback browsing to official OpenAI domains. (file: /Users/fabianwesner/.codex/skills/.system/openai-docs/SKILL.md)
- plugin-creator: Create and scaffold plugin directories for Codex with a required `.codex-plugin/plugin.json`, optional plugin folders/files, and baseline placeholders you can edit before publishing or testing. Use when Codex needs to create a new local plugin, add optional plugin structure, or generate or update repo-root `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json` entries for plugin ordering and availability metadata. (file: /Users/fabianwesner/.codex/skills/.system/plugin-creator/SKILL.md)
- skill-creator: Guide for creating effective skills. This skill should be used when users want to create a new skill (or update an existing skill) that extends Codex's capabilities with specialized knowledge, workflows, or tool integrations. (file: /Users/fabianwesner/.codex/skills/.system/skill-creator/SKILL.md)
- skill-installer: Install Codex skills into $CODEX_HOME/skills from a curated list or a GitHub repo path. Use when a user asks to list installable skills, install a curated skill, or install a skill from another repo (including private repos). (file: /Users/fabianwesner/.codex/skills/.system/skill-installer/SKILL.md)
- 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. (file: /Users/fabianwesner/Herd/shop/.agents/skills/developing-with-fortify/SKILL.md)
- fluxui-development: Use this skill for Flux UI development in Livewire applications only. Trigger when working with <flux:*> components, building or customizing Livewire component UIs, creating forms, modals, tables, or other interactive elements. Covers: flux: components (buttons, inputs, modals, forms, tables, date-pickers, kanban, badges, tooltips, etc.), component composition, Tailwind CSS styling, Heroicons/Lucide icon integration, validation patterns, responsive design, and theming. Do not use for non-Livewire frameworks or non-component styling. (file: /Users/fabianwesner/Herd/shop/.agents/skills/fluxui-development/SKILL.md)
- laravel-best-practices: Apply this skill whenever writing, reviewing, or refactoring Laravel PHP code. This includes creating or modifying controllers, models, migrations, form requests, policies, jobs, scheduled commands, service classes, and Eloquent queries. Triggers for N+1 and query performance issues, caching strategies, authorization and security patterns, validation, error handling, queue and job configuration, route definitions, and architectural decisions. Also use for Laravel code reviews and refactoring existing Laravel code to follow best practices. Covers any task involving Laravel backend PHP code patterns. (file: /Users/fabianwesner/Herd/shop/.agents/skills/laravel-best-practices/SKILL.md)
- livewire-development: Use for any task or question involving Livewire. Activate if user mentions Livewire, wire: directives, or Livewire-specific concepts like wire:model, wire:click, wire:sort, or islands, invoke this skill. Covers building new components, debugging reactivity issues, real-time form validation, drag-and-drop, loading states, migrating from Livewire 3 to 4, converting component formats (SFC/MFC/class-based), and performance optimization. Do not use for non-Livewire reactive UI (React, Vue, Alpine-only, Inertia.js) or standard Laravel forms without Livewire. (file: /Users/fabianwesner/Herd/shop/.agents/skills/livewire-development/SKILL.md)
- pest-testing: Use this skill for Pest PHP testing in Laravel projects only. Trigger whenever any test is being written, edited, fixed, or refactored — including fixing tests that broke after a code change, adding assertions, converting PHPUnit to Pest, adding datasets, and TDD workflows. Always activate when the user asks how to write something in Pest, mentions test files or directories (tests/Feature, tests/Unit, tests/Browser), or needs browser testing, smoke testing multiple pages for JS errors, or architecture tests. Covers: test()/it()/expect() syntax, datasets, mocking, browser testing (visit/click/fill), smoke testing, arch(), Livewire component tests, RefreshDatabase, and all Pest 4 features. Do not use for factories, seeders, migrations, controllers, models, or non-test PHP code. (file: /Users/fabianwesner/Herd/shop/.agents/skills/pest-testing/SKILL.md)
- tailwindcss-development: Always invoke when the user's message includes 'tailwind' in any form. Also invoke for: building responsive grid layouts (multi-column card grids, product grids), flex/grid page structures (dashboards with sidebars, fixed topbars, mobile-toggle navs), styling UI components (cards, tables, navbars, pricing sections, forms, inputs, badges), adding dark mode variants, fixing spacing or typography, and Tailwind v3/v4 work. The core use case: writing or fixing Tailwind utility classes in HTML templates (Blade, JSX, Vue). Skip for backend PHP logic, database queries, API routes, JavaScript with no HTML/CSS component, CSS file audits, build tool configuration, and vanilla CSS. (file: /Users/fabianwesner/Herd/shop/.agents/skills/tailwindcss-development/SKILL.md)
### How to use skills
- Discovery: The list above is the skills available in this session (name + description + file path). Skill bodies live on disk at the listed paths.
- Trigger rules: If the user names a skill (with `$SkillName` or plain text) OR the task clearly matches a skill's description shown above, you must use that skill for that turn. Multiple mentions mean use them all. Do not carry skills across turns unless re-mentioned.
- Missing/blocked: If a named skill isn't in the list or the path can't be read, say so briefly and continue with the best fallback.
- How to use a skill (progressive disclosure):
  1) After deciding to use a skill, open its `SKILL.md`. Read only enough to follow the workflow.
  2) When `SKILL.md` references relative paths (e.g., `scripts/foo.py`), resolve them relative to the skill directory listed above first, and only consider other paths if needed.
  3) If `SKILL.md` points to extra folders such as `references/`, load only the specific files needed for the request; don't bulk-load everything.
  4) If `scripts/` exist, prefer running or patching them instead of retyping large code blocks.
  5) If `assets/` or templates exist, reuse them instead of recreating from scratch.
- Coordination and sequencing:
  - If multiple skills apply, choose the minimal set that covers the request and state the order you'll use them.
  - Announce which skill(s) you're using and why (one short line). If you skip an obvious skill, say why.
- Context hygiene:
  - Keep context small: summarize long sections instead of pasting them; only load extra files when needed.
  - Avoid deep reference-chasing: prefer opening only files directly linked from `SKILL.md` unless you're blocked.
  - When variants exist (frameworks, providers, domains), pick only the relevant reference file(s) and note that choice.
- Safety and fallback: If a skill can't be applied cleanly (missing files, unclear instructions), state the issue, pick the next-best approach, and continue.

## 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

## 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.
- To check environment variables, read the `.env` file directly.

## 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](https://cloud.laravel.com/), which is the fastest way to deploy and scale production Laravel applications.

=== herd rules ===

# Laravel Herd

- The application is served by Laravel Herd at `https?://[kebab-case-project-dir].test`. Use the `get-absolute-url` tool to generate valid URLs. Never run commands to serve the site. It is always available.
- Use the `herd` CLI to manage services, PHP versions, and sites (e.g. `herd sites`, `herd services:start <service>`, `herd php:list`). Run `herd list` to discover all available commands.

=== 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.

=== fortify/core 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.

=== 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`.

=== 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.

=== livewire/core rules ===

# Livewire

- Livewire allow to build dynamic, reactive interfaces in PHP without writing JavaScript.
- You can use Alpine.js for client-side interactions instead of JavaScript frameworks.
- Keep state server-side so the UI reflects it. Validate and authorize in actions as you would in HTTP requests.

=== 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.

- 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.
- To check environment variables, read the `.env` file directly.

## 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](https://cloud.laravel.com/), which is the fastest way to deploy and scale production Laravel applications.

=== herd rules ===

# Laravel Herd

- The application is served by Laravel Herd at `https?://[kebab-case-project-dir].test`. Use the `get-absolute-url` tool to generate valid URLs. Never run commands to serve the site. It is always available.
- Use the `herd` CLI to manage services, PHP versions, and sites (e.g. `herd sites`, `herd services:start <service>`, `herd php:list`). Run `herd list` to discover all available commands.

=== 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.

=== fortify/core 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.

=== 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`.

=== 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.

=== livewire/core rules ===

# Livewire

- Livewire allow to build dynamic, reactive interfaces in PHP without writing JavaScript.
- You can use Alpine.js for client-side interactions instead of JavaScript frameworks.
- Keep state server-side so the UI reflects it. Validate and authorize in actions as you would in HTTP requests.

=== 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.

# Laravel Best Practices

Best practices for Laravel, prioritized by impact. Each rule teaches what to do and why. For exact API syntax, verify with `search-docs`.

## Consistency First

Before applying any rule, check what the application already does. Laravel offers multiple valid approaches — the best choice is the one the codebase already uses, even if another pattern would be theoretically better. Inconsistency is worse than a suboptimal pattern.

Check sibling files, related controllers, models, or tests for established patterns. If one exists, follow it — don't introduce a second way. These rules are defaults for when no pattern exists yet, not overrides.

## Quick Reference

### 1. Database Performance → `rules/db-performance.md`

- Eager load with `with()` to prevent N+1 queries
- Enable `Model::preventLazyLoading()` in development
- Select only needed columns, avoid `SELECT *`
- `chunk()` / `chunkById()` for large datasets
- Index columns used in `WHERE`, `ORDER BY`, `JOIN`
- `withCount()` instead of loading relations to count
- `cursor()` for memory-efficient read-only iteration
- Never query in Blade templates

### 2. Advanced Query Patterns → `rules/advanced-queries.md`

- `addSelect()` subqueries over eager-loading entire has-many for a single value
- Dynamic relationships via subquery FK + `belongsTo`
- Conditional aggregates (`CASE WHEN` in `selectRaw`) over multiple count queries
- `setRelation()` to prevent circular N+1 queries
- `whereIn` + `pluck()` over `whereHas` for better index usage
- Two simple queries can beat one complex query
- Compound indexes matching `orderBy` column order
- Correlated subqueries in `orderBy` for has-many sorting (avoid joins)

### 3. Security → `rules/security.md`

- Define `$fillable` or `$guarded` on every model, authorize every action via policies or gates
- No raw SQL with user input — use Eloquent or query builder
- `{{ }}` for output escaping, `@csrf` on all POST/PUT/DELETE forms, `throttle` on auth and API routes
- Validate MIME type, extension, and size for file uploads
- Never commit `.env`, use `config()` for secrets, `encrypted` cast for sensitive DB fields

### 4. Caching → `rules/caching.md`

- `Cache::remember()` over manual get/put
- `Cache::flexible()` for stale-while-revalidate on high-traffic data
- `Cache::memo()` to avoid redundant cache hits within a request
- Cache tags to invalidate related groups
- `Cache::add()` for atomic conditional writes
- `once()` to memoize per-request or per-object lifetime
- `Cache::lock()` / `lockForUpdate()` for race conditions
- Failover cache stores in production

### 5. Eloquent Patterns → `rules/eloquent.md`

- Correct relationship types with return type hints
- Local scopes for reusable query constraints
- Global scopes sparingly — document their existence
- Attribute casts in the `casts()` method
- Cast date columns, use Carbon instances in templates
- `whereBelongsTo($model)` for cleaner queries
- Never hardcode table names — use `(new Model)->getTable()` or Eloquent queries

### 6. Validation & Forms → `rules/validation.md`

- Form Request classes, not inline validation
- Array notation `['required', 'email']` for new code; follow existing convention
- `$request->validated()` only — never `$request->all()`
- `Rule::when()` for conditional validation
- `after()` instead of `withValidator()`

### 7. Configuration → `rules/config.md`

- `env()` only inside config files
- `App::environment()` or `app()->isProduction()`
- Config, lang files, and constants over hardcoded text

### 8. Testing Patterns → `rules/testing.md`

- `LazilyRefreshDatabase` over `RefreshDatabase` for speed
- `assertModelExists()` over raw `assertDatabaseHas()`
- Factory states and sequences over manual overrides
- Use fakes (`Event::fake()`, `Exceptions::fake()`, etc.) — but always after factory setup, not before
- `recycle()` to share relationship instances across factories

### 9. Queue & Job Patterns → `rules/queue-jobs.md`

- `retry_after` must exceed job `timeout`; use exponential backoff `[1, 5, 10]`
- `ShouldBeUnique` to prevent duplicates; `ShouldBeUniqueUntilProcessing` for early lock release
- Always implement `failed()`; with `retryUntil()`, set `$tries = 0`
- `RateLimited` middleware for external API calls; `Bus::batch()` for related jobs
- Horizon for complex multi-queue scenarios

### 10. Routing & Controllers → `rules/routing.md`

- Implicit route model binding
- Scoped bindings for nested resources
- `Route::resource()` or `apiResource()`
- Methods under 10 lines — extract to actions/services
- Type-hint Form Requests for auto-validation

### 11. HTTP Client → `rules/http-client.md`

- Explicit `timeout` and `connectTimeout` on every request
- `retry()` with exponential backoff for external APIs
- Check response status or use `throw()`
- `Http::pool()` for concurrent independent requests
- `Http::fake()` and `preventStrayRequests()` in tests

### 12. Events, Notifications & Mail → `rules/events-notifications.md`, `rules/mail.md`

- Event discovery over manual registration; `event:cache` in production
- `ShouldDispatchAfterCommit` / `afterCommit()` inside transactions
- Queue notifications and mailables with `ShouldQueue`
- On-demand notifications for non-user recipients
- `HasLocalePreference` on notifiable models
- `assertQueued()` not `assertSent()` for queued mailables
- Markdown mailables for transactional emails

### 13. Error Handling → `rules/error-handling.md`

- `report()`/`render()` on exception classes or in `bootstrap/app.php` — follow existing pattern
- `ShouldntReport` for exceptions that should never log
- Throttle high-volume exceptions to protect log sinks
- `dontReportDuplicates()` for multi-catch scenarios
- Force JSON rendering for API routes
- Structured context via `context()` on exception classes

### 14. Task Scheduling → `rules/scheduling.md`

- `withoutOverlapping()` on variable-duration tasks
- `onOneServer()` on multi-server deployments
- `runInBackground()` for concurrent long tasks
- `environments()` to restrict to appropriate environments
- `takeUntilTimeout()` for time-bounded processing
- Schedule groups for shared configuration

### 15. Architecture → `rules/architecture.md`

- Single-purpose Action classes; dependency injection over `app()` helper
- Prefer official Laravel packages and follow conventions, don't override defaults
- Default to `ORDER BY id DESC` or `created_at DESC`; `mb_*` for UTF-8 safety
- `defer()` for post-response work; `Context` for request-scoped data; `Concurrency::run()` for parallel execution

### 16. Migrations → `rules/migrations.md`

- Generate migrations with `php artisan make:migration`
- `constrained()` for foreign keys
- Never modify migrations that have run in production
- Add indexes in the migration, not as an afterthought
- Mirror column defaults in model `$attributes`
- Reversible `down()` by default; forward-fix migrations for intentionally irreversible changes
- One concern per migration — never mix DDL and DML

### 17. Collections → `rules/collections.md`

- Higher-order messages for simple collection operations
- `cursor()` vs. `lazy()` — choose based on relationship needs
- `lazyById()` when updating records while iterating
- `toQuery()` for bulk operations on collections

### 18. Blade & Views → `rules/blade-views.md`

- `$attributes->merge()` in component templates
- Blade components over `@include`; `@pushOnce` for per-component scripts
- View Composers for shared view data
- `@aware` for deeply nested component props

### 19. Conventions & Style → `rules/style.md`

- Follow Laravel naming conventions for all entities
- Prefer Laravel helpers (`Str`, `Arr`, `Number`, `Uri`, `Str::of()`, `$request->string()`) over raw PHP functions
- No JS/CSS in Blade, no HTML in PHP classes
- Code should be readable; comments only for config files

## How to Apply

Always use a sub-agent to read rule files and explore this skill's content.

1. Identify the file type and select relevant sections (e.g., migration → §16, controller → §1, §3, §5, §6, §10)
2. Check sibling files for existing patterns — follow those first per Consistency First
3. Verify API syntax with `search-docs` for the installed Laravel version

# Livewire Development

## Documentation

Use `search-docs` for detailed Livewire 4 patterns and documentation.

## Basic Usage

### Creating Components

```bash

# Single-file component (SFC - default in v4)

# Creates: resources/views/components/⚡create-post.blade.php

php artisan make:livewire create-post

# Page component (SFC - Full Page in v4)

# Creates: resources/views/pages/⚡create-post.blade.php

php artisan make:livewire pages::create-post

# Multi-file component (MFC)

# Creates: resources/views/components/⚡create-post/create-post.php

#          resources/views/components/⚡create-post/create-post.blade.php

php artisan make:livewire create-post --mfc

# Class-based component (v3 style)

# Creates: app/Livewire/CreatePost.php AND resources/views/livewire/create-post.blade.php

php artisan make:livewire create-post --class

# With namespace

php artisan make:livewire Posts/CreatePost
```

### Converting Between Formats

Use `php artisan livewire:convert create-post` to convert between single-file, multi-file, and class-based formats.

### Choosing a Component Format

> **Always follow the project's existing conventions first.** Before creating any component, inspect the project's existing Livewire components to determine the established format (SFC, MFC, or class-based) and directory structure. Check `app/Livewire/`, `resources/views/components/`, and `resources/views/livewire/` for existing components. If the project already uses a consistent format, **use that same format** — even if it differs from the Livewire v4 defaults below. Only fall back to the v4 defaults (SFC in `resources/views/components/`) when no existing convention is established.

Also check `config/livewire.php` for `make_command.type`, `make_command.emoji`, `component_locations`, and `component_namespaces` overrides, which change the default format and where files are stored.

### Component Format Reference

| Format | Flag | Class Path | View Path |
|--------|------|------------|-----------|
| Single-file (SFC) | default | — | `resources/views/components/⚡create-post.blade.php` (PHP + Blade in one file) |
| Full Page SFC | `pages::name` | — | `resources/views/pages/⚡create-post.blade.php` |
| Multi-file (MFC) | `--mfc` | `resources/views/components/⚡create-post/create-post.php` | `resources/views/components/⚡create-post/create-post.blade.php` |
| Class-based | `--class` | `app/Livewire/CreatePost.php` | `resources/views/livewire/create-post.blade.php` |
| View-based | default (Blade-only) | — | `resources/views/components/⚡create-post.blade.php` (Blade-only with functional state) |

> **Important:** The ⚡ prefix shown above is the **default** behavior in Livewire v4 — it is **configurable**. Check `config/livewire.php` for the `make_command.emoji` setting. When `true` (default), always include the ⚡ prefix in filenames you create. When `false`, omit the ⚡ prefix from all paths above.

Namespaced components map to subdirectories: `make:livewire Posts/CreatePost` creates `resources/views/components/posts/⚡create-post.blade.php` (single-file by default). Use `make:livewire Posts/CreatePost --mfc` for multi-file output at `resources/views/components/posts/⚡create-post/create-post.php` and `resources/views/components/posts/⚡create-post/create-post.blade.php`.

### Single-File Component Example

<!-- Single-File Component Example -->
```php
<?php
use Livewire\Component;

new class extends Component {
    public int $count = 0;

    public function increment(): void
    {
        $this->count++;
    }
};
?>

<div>
    <button wire:click="increment">Count: @{{ $count }}</button>
</div>
```

These things changed in Livewire 4, but may not have been updated in this application. Verify this application's setup to ensure you follow existing conventions.

- Use `Route::livewire()` for full-page components (e.g., `Route::livewire('/posts/create', CreatePost::class)`); config keys renamed: `layout` → `component_layout`, `lazy_placeholder` → `component_placeholder`.
- `wire:model` now ignores child events by default (use `wire:model.deep` for old behavior); `wire:scroll` renamed to `wire:navigate:scroll`.
- Component tags must be properly closed; `wire:transition` now uses View Transitions API (modifiers removed).
- JavaScript: `$wire.$js('name', fn)` → `$wire.$js.name = fn`; `commit`/`request` hooks → `interceptMessage()`/`interceptRequest()`.

### New Features

- Component formats: single-file (SFC), multi-file (MFC), view-based components.
- Islands (`@island`) for isolated updates; async actions (`wire:click.async`, `#[Async]`) for parallel execution.
- Deferred/bundled loading: `defer`, `lazy.bundle` for optimized component loading.

| Feature | Usage | Purpose |
|---------|-------|---------|
| Islands | `@island(name: 'stats')` | Isolated update regions |
| Async | `wire:click.async` or `#[Async]` | Non-blocking actions |
| Deferred | `defer` attribute | Load after page render |
| Bundled | `lazy.bundle` | Load multiple together |

### New Directives

- `wire:sort`, `wire:intersect`, `wire:ref`, `.renderless`, `.preserve-scroll` are available for use.
- `data-loading` attribute automatically added to elements triggering network requests.

| Directive | Purpose |
|-----------|---------|
| `wire:sort` | Drag-and-drop sorting |
| `wire:intersect` | Viewport intersection detection |
| `wire:ref` | Element references for JS |
| `.renderless` | Component without rendering |
| `.preserve-scroll` | Preserve scroll position |

## Best Practices

- Always use `wire:key` in loops
- Use `wire:loading` for loading states
- Use `wire:model.live` for instant updates (default is debounced)
- Validate and authorize in actions (treat like HTTP requests)

## Configuration

- `smart_wire_keys` defaults to `true`; new configs: `component_locations`, `component_namespaces`, `make_command`, `csp_safe`.

## Alpine & JavaScript

- `wire:transition` uses browser View Transitions API; `$errors` and `$intercept` magic properties available.
- Non-blocking `wire:poll` and parallel `wire:model.live` updates improve performance.

For interceptors and hooks, see [reference/javascript-hooks.md](reference/javascript-hooks.md).

## Testing

<!-- Testing Example -->
```php
Livewire::test(Counter::class)
    ->assertSet('count', 0)
    ->call('increment')
    ->assertSet('count', 1);
```

## Verification

1. Browser console: Check for JS errors
2. Network tab: Verify Livewire requests return 200
3. Ensure `wire:key` on all `@foreach` loops

## Common Pitfalls

- Missing `wire:key` in loops → unexpected re-rendering
- Expecting `wire:model` real-time → use `wire:model.live`
- Unclosed component tags → syntax errors in v4
- Using deprecated config keys or JS hooks
- Including Alpine.js separately (already bundled in Livewire 4)

# Flux UI Development

## Documentation

Use `search-docs` for detailed Flux UI patterns and documentation.

## Basic Usage

This project uses the free edition of Flux UI, which includes all free components and variants but not Pro components.

Flux UI is a component library for Livewire built with Tailwind CSS. It provides components that are easy to use and customize.

Use Flux UI components when available. Fall back to standard Blade components when no Flux component exists for your needs.

<!-- Basic Button -->
```blade
<flux:button variant="primary">Click me</flux:button>
```

## Available Components (Free Edition)

Available: avatar, badge, brand, breadcrumbs, button, callout, checkbox, dropdown, field, heading, icon, input, modal, navbar, otp-input, profile, radio, select, separator, skeleton, switch, text, textarea, tooltip

## Icons

Flux includes [Heroicons](https://heroicons.com/) as its default icon set. Search for exact icon names on the Heroicons site - do not guess or invent icon names.

<!-- Icon Button -->
```blade
<flux:button icon="arrow-down-tray">Export</flux:button>
```

For icons not available in Heroicons, use [Lucide](https://lucide.dev/). Import the icons you need with the Artisan command:

```bash
php artisan flux:icon crown grip-vertical github
```

## Common Patterns

### Form Fields

<!-- Form Field -->
```blade
<flux:field>
    <flux:label>Email</flux:label>
    <flux:input type="email" wire:model="email" />
    <flux:error name="email" />
</flux:field>
```

### Modals

<!-- Modal -->
```blade
<flux:modal wire:model="showModal">
    <flux:heading>Title</flux:heading>
    <p>Content</p>
</flux:modal>
```

## Verification

1. Check component renders correctly
2. Test interactive states
3. Verify mobile responsiveness

## Common Pitfalls

- Trying to use Pro-only components in the free edition
- Not checking if a Flux component exists before creating custom implementations
- Forgetting to use the `search-docs` tool for component-specific documentation
- Not following existing project patterns for Flux usage

# Pest Testing 4

## Documentation

Use `search-docs` for detailed Pest 4 patterns and documentation.

## Basic Usage

### Creating Tests

All tests must be written using Pest. Use `php artisan make:test --pest {name}`.

### Test Organization

- Unit/Feature tests: `tests/Feature` and `tests/Unit` directories.
- Browser tests: `tests/Browser/` directory.
- Do NOT remove tests without approval - these are core application code.

### Basic Test Structure

Pest supports both `test()` and `it()` functions. Before writing new tests, check existing test files in the same directory to match the project's convention. Use `test()` if existing tests use `test()`, or `it()` if they use `it()`.

<!-- Basic Pest Test Example -->
```php
it('is true', function () {
    expect(true)->toBeTrue();
});
```

### Running Tests

- Run minimal tests with filter before finalizing: `php artisan test --compact --filter=testName`.
- Run all tests: `php artisan test --compact`.
- Run file: `php artisan test --compact tests/Feature/ExampleTest.php`.

## Assertions

Use specific assertions (`assertSuccessful()`, `assertNotFound()`) instead of `assertStatus()`:

<!-- Pest Response Assertion -->
```php
it('returns all', function () {
    $this->postJson('/api/docs', [])->assertSuccessful();
});
```

| Use | Instead of |
|-----|------------|
| `assertSuccessful()` | `assertStatus(200)` |
| `assertNotFound()` | `assertStatus(404)` |
| `assertForbidden()` | `assertStatus(403)` |

## Mocking

Import mock function before use: `use function Pest\Laravel\mock;`

## Datasets

Use datasets for repetitive tests (validation rules, etc.):

<!-- Pest Dataset Example -->
```php
it('has emails', function (string $email) {
    expect($email)->not->toBeEmpty();
})->with([
    'james' => 'james@laravel.com',
    'taylor' => 'taylor@laravel.com',
]);
```

## Pest 4 Features

| Feature | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| Browser Testing | Full integration tests in real browsers |
| Smoke Testing | Validate multiple pages quickly |
| Visual Regression | Compare screenshots for visual changes |
| Test Sharding | Parallel CI runs |
| Architecture Testing | Enforce code conventions |

### Browser Test Example

Browser tests run in real browsers for full integration testing:

- Browser tests live in `tests/Browser/`.
- Use Laravel features like `Event::fake()`, `assertAuthenticated()`, and model factories.
- Use `RefreshDatabase` for clean state per test.
- Interact with page: click, type, scroll, select, submit, drag-and-drop, touch gestures.
- Test on multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) if requested.
- Test on different devices/viewports (iPhone 14 Pro, tablets) if requested.
- Switch color schemes (light/dark mode) when appropriate.
- Take screenshots or pause tests for debugging.

<!-- Pest Browser Test Example -->
```php
it('may reset the password', function () {
    Notification::fake();

    $this->actingAs(User::factory()->create());

    $page = visit('/sign-in');

    $page->assertSee('Sign In')
        ->assertNoJavaScriptErrors()
        ->click('Forgot Password?')
        ->fill('email', 'nuno@laravel.com')
        ->click('Send Reset Link')
        ->assertSee('We have emailed your password reset link!');

    Notification::assertSent(ResetPassword::class);
});
```

### Smoke Testing

Quickly validate multiple pages have no JavaScript errors:

<!-- Pest Smoke Testing Example -->
```php
$pages = visit(['/', '/about', '/contact']);

$pages->assertNoJavaScriptErrors()->assertNoConsoleLogs();
```

### Visual Regression Testing

Capture and compare screenshots to detect visual changes.

### Test Sharding

Split tests across parallel processes for faster CI runs.

### Architecture Testing

Pest 4 includes architecture testing (from Pest 3):

<!-- Architecture Test Example -->
```php
arch('controllers')
    ->expect('App\Http\Controllers')
    ->toExtendNothing()
    ->toHaveSuffix('Controller');
```

## Common Pitfalls

- Not importing `use function Pest\Laravel\mock;` before using mock
- Using `assertStatus(200)` instead of `assertSuccessful()`
- Forgetting datasets for repetitive validation tests
- Deleting tests without approval
- Forgetting `assertNoJavaScriptErrors()` in browser tests

# Laravel Best Practices

Best practices for Laravel, prioritized by impact. Each rule teaches what to do and why. For exact API syntax, verify with `search-docs`.

## Consistency First

Before applying any rule, check what the application already does. Laravel offers multiple valid approaches — the best choice is the one the codebase already uses, even if another pattern would be theoretically better. Inconsistency is worse than a suboptimal pattern.

Check sibling files, related controllers, models, or tests for established patterns. If one exists, follow it — don't introduce a second way. These rules are defaults for when no pattern exists yet, not overrides.

## Quick Reference

### 1. Database Performance → `rules/db-performance.md`

- Eager load with `with()` to prevent N+1 queries
- Enable `Model::preventLazyLoading()` in development
- Select only needed columns, avoid `SELECT *`
- `chunk()` / `chunkById()` for large datasets
- Index columns used in `WHERE`, `ORDER BY`, `JOIN`
- `withCount()` instead of loading relations to count
- `cursor()` for memory-efficient read-only iteration
- Never query in Blade templates

### 2. Advanced Query Patterns → `rules/advanced-queries.md`

- `addSelect()` subqueries over eager-loading entire has-many for a single value
- Dynamic relationships via subquery FK + `belongsTo`
- Conditional aggregates (`CASE WHEN` in `selectRaw`) over multiple count queries
- `setRelation()` to prevent circular N+1 queries
- `whereIn` + `pluck()` over `whereHas` for better index usage
- Two simple queries can beat one complex query
- Compound indexes matching `orderBy` column order
- Correlated subqueries in `orderBy` for has-many sorting (avoid joins)

### 3. Security → `rules/security.md`

- Define `$fillable` or `$guarded` on every model, authorize every action via policies or gates
- No raw SQL with user input — use Eloquent or query builder
- `{{ }}` for output escaping, `@csrf` on all POST/PUT/DELETE forms, `throttle` on auth and API routes
- Validate MIME type, extension, and size for file uploads
- Never commit `.env`, use `config()` for secrets, `encrypted` cast for sensitive DB fields

### 4. Caching → `rules/caching.md`

- `Cache::remember()` over manual get/put
- `Cache::flexible()` for stale-while-revalidate on high-traffic data
- `Cache::memo()` to avoid redundant cache hits within a request
- Cache tags to invalidate related groups
- `Cache::add()` for atomic conditional writes
- `once()` to memoize per-request or per-object lifetime
- `Cache::lock()` / `lockForUpdate()` for race conditions
- Failover cache stores in production

### 5. Eloquent Patterns → `rules/eloquent.md`

- Correct relationship types with return type hints
- Local scopes for reusable query constraints
- Global scopes sparingly — document their existence
- Attribute casts in the `casts()` method
- Cast date columns, use Carbon instances in templates
- `whereBelongsTo($model)` for cleaner queries
- Never hardcode table names — use `(new Model)->getTable()` or Eloquent queries

### 6. Validation & Forms → `rules/validation.md`

- Form Request classes, not inline validation
- Array notation `['required', 'email']` for new code; follow existing convention
- `$request->validated()` only — never `$request->all()`
- `Rule::when()` for conditional validation
- `after()` instead of `withValidator()`

### 7. Configuration → `rules/config.md`

- `env()` only inside config files
- `App::environment()` or `app()->isProduction()`
- Config, lang files, and constants over hardcoded text

### 8. Testing Patterns → `rules/testing.md`

- `LazilyRefreshDatabase` over `RefreshDatabase` for speed
- `assertModelExists()` over raw `assertDatabaseHas()`
- Factory states and sequences over manual overrides
- Use fakes (`Event::fake()`, `Exceptions::fake()`, etc.) — but always after factory setup, not before
- `recycle()` to share relationship instances across factories

### 9. Queue & Job Patterns → `rules/queue-jobs.md`

- `retry_after` must exceed job `timeout`; use exponential backoff `[1, 5, 10]`
- `ShouldBeUnique` to prevent duplicates; `ShouldBeUniqueUntilProcessing` for early lock release
- Always implement `failed()`; with `retryUntil()`, set `$tries = 0`
- `RateLimited` middleware for external API calls; `Bus::batch()` for related jobs
- Horizon for complex multi-queue scenarios

### 10. Routing & Controllers → `rules/routing.md`

- Implicit route model binding
- Scoped bindings for nested resources
- `Route::resource()` or `apiResource()`
- Methods under 10 lines — extract to actions/services
- Type-hint Form Requests for auto-validation

### 11. HTTP Client → `rules/http-client.md`

- Explicit `timeout` and `connectTimeout` on every request
- `retry()` with exponential backoff for external APIs
- Check response status or use `throw()`
- `Http::pool()` for concurrent independent requests
- `Http::fake()` and `preventStrayRequests()` in tests

### 12. Events, Notifications & Mail → `rules/events-notifications.md`, `rules/mail.md`

- Event discovery over manual registration; `event:cache` in production
- `ShouldDispatchAfterCommit` / `afterCommit()` inside transactions
- Queue notifications and mailables with `ShouldQueue`
- On-demand notifications for non-user recipients
- `HasLocalePreference` on notifiable models
- `assertQueued()` not `assertSent()` for queued mailables
- Markdown mailables for transactional emails

### 13. Error Handling → `rules/error-handling.md`

- `report()`/`render()` on exception classes or in `bootstrap/app.php` — follow existing pattern
- `ShouldntReport` for exceptions that should never log
- Throttle high-volume exceptions to protect log sinks
- `dontReportDuplicates()` for multi-catch scenarios
- Force JSON rendering for API routes
- Structured context via `context()` on exception classes

### 14. Task Scheduling → `rules/scheduling.md`

- `withoutOverlapping()` on variable-duration tasks
- `onOneServer()` on multi-server deployments
- `runInBackground()` for concurrent long tasks
- `environments()` to restrict to appropriate environments
- `takeUntilTimeout()` for time-bounded processing
- Schedule groups for shared configuration

### 15. Architecture → `rules/architecture.md`

- Single-purpose Action classes; dependency injection over `app()` helper
- Prefer official Laravel packages and follow conventions, don't override defaults
- Default to `ORDER BY id DESC` or `created_at DESC`; `mb_*` for UTF-8 safety
- `defer()` for post-response work; `Context` for request-scoped data; `Concurrency::run()` for parallel execution

### 16. Migrations → `rules/migrations.md`

- Generate migrations with `php artisan make:migration`
- `constrained()` for foreign keys
- Never modify migrations that have run in production
- Add indexes in the migration, not as an afterthought
- Mirror column defaults in model `$attributes`
- Reversible `down()` by default; forward-fix migrations for intentionally irreversible changes
- One concern per migration — never mix DDL and DML

### 17. Collections → `rules/collections.md`

- Higher-order messages for simple collection operations
- `cursor()` vs. `lazy()` — choose based on relationship needs
- `lazyById()` when updating records while iterating
- `toQuery()` for bulk operations on collections

### 18. Blade & Views → `rules/blade-views.md`

- `$attributes->merge()` in component templates
- Blade components over `@include`; `@pushOnce` for per-component scripts
- View Composers for shared view data
- `@aware` for deeply nested component props

### 19. Conventions & Style → `rules/style.md`

- Follow Laravel naming conventions for all entities
- Prefer Laravel helpers (`Str`, `Arr`, `Number`, `Uri`, `Str::of()`, `$request->string()`) over raw PHP functions
- No JS/CSS in Blade, no HTML in PHP classes
- Code should be readable; comments only for config files

## How to Apply

Always use a sub-agent to read rule files and explore this skill's content.

1. Identify the file type and select relevant sections (e.g., migration → §16, controller → §1, §3, §5, §6, §10)
2. Check sibling files for existing patterns — follow those first per Consistency First
3. Verify API syntax with `search-docs` for the installed Laravel version

# Livewire Development

## Documentation

Use `search-docs` for detailed Livewire 4 patterns and documentation.

## Basic Usage

### Creating Components

```bash

# Single-file component (SFC - default in v4)

# Creates: resources/views/components/⚡create-post.blade.php

php artisan make:livewire create-post

# Page component (SFC - Full Page in v4)

# Creates: resources/views/pages/⚡create-post.blade.php

php artisan make:livewire pages::create-post

# Multi-file component (MFC)

# Creates: resources/views/components/⚡create-post/create-post.php

#          resources/views/components/⚡create-post/create-post.blade.php

php artisan make:livewire create-post --mfc

# Class-based component (v3 style)

# Creates: app/Livewire/CreatePost.php AND resources/views/livewire/create-post.blade.php

php artisan make:livewire create-post --class

# With namespace

php artisan make:livewire Posts/CreatePost
```

### Converting Between Formats

Use `php artisan livewire:convert create-post` to convert between single-file, multi-file, and class-based formats.

### Choosing a Component Format

> **Always follow the project's existing conventions first.** Before creating any component, inspect the project's existing Livewire components to determine the established format (SFC, MFC, or class-based) and directory structure. Check `app/Livewire/`, `resources/views/components/`, and `resources/views/livewire/` for existing components. If the project already uses a consistent format, **use that same format** — even if it differs from the Livewire v4 defaults below. Only fall back to the v4 defaults (SFC in `resources/views/components/`) when no existing convention is established.

Also check `config/livewire.php` for `make_command.type`, `make_command.emoji`, `component_locations`, and `component_namespaces` overrides, which change the default format and where files are stored.

### Component Format Reference

| Format | Flag | Class Path | View Path |
|--------|------|------------|-----------|
| Single-file (SFC) | default | — | `resources/views/components/⚡create-post.blade.php` (PHP + Blade in one file) |
| Full Page SFC | `pages::name` | — | `resources/views/pages/⚡create-post.blade.php` |
| Multi-file (MFC) | `--mfc` | `resources/views/components/⚡create-post/create-post.php` | `resources/views/components/⚡create-post/create-post.blade.php` |
| Class-based | `--class` | `app/Livewire/CreatePost.php` | `resources/views/livewire/create-post.blade.php` |
| View-based | default (Blade-only) | — | `resources/views/components/⚡create-post.blade.php` (Blade-only with functional state) |

> **Important:** The ⚡ prefix shown above is the **default** behavior in Livewire v4 — it is **configurable**. Check `config/livewire.php` for the `make_command.emoji` setting. When `true` (default), always include the ⚡ prefix in filenames you create. When `false`, omit the ⚡ prefix from all paths above.

Namespaced components map to subdirectories: `make:livewire Posts/CreatePost` creates `resources/views/components/posts/⚡create-post.blade.php` (single-file by default). Use `make:livewire Posts/CreatePost --mfc` for multi-file output at `resources/views/components/posts/⚡create-post/create-post.php` and `resources/views/components/posts/⚡create-post/create-post.blade.php`.

### Single-File Component Example

<!-- Single-File Component Example -->
```php
<?php
use Livewire\Component;

new class extends Component {
    public int $count = 0;

    public function increment(): void
    {
        $this->count++;
    }
};
?>

<div>
    <button wire:click="increment">Count: @{{ $count }}</button>
</div>
```

## Livewire 4 Specifics

### Key Changes From Livewire 3

These things changed in Livewire 4, but may not have been updated in this application. Verify this application's setup to ensure you follow existing conventions.

- Use `Route::livewire()` for full-page components (e.g., `Route::livewire('/posts/create', CreatePost::class)`); config keys renamed: `layout` → `component_layout`, `lazy_placeholder` → `component_placeholder`.
- `wire:model` now ignores child events by default (use `wire:model.deep` for old behavior); `wire:scroll` renamed to `wire:navigate:scroll`.
- Component tags must be properly closed; `wire:transition` now uses View Transitions API (modifiers removed).
- JavaScript: `$wire.$js('name', fn)` → `$wire.$js.name = fn`; `commit`/`request` hooks → `interceptMessage()`/`interceptRequest()`.

### New Features

- Component formats: single-file (SFC), multi-file (MFC), view-based components.
- Islands (`@island`) for isolated updates; async actions (`wire:click.async`, `#[Async]`) for parallel execution.
- Deferred/bundled loading: `defer`, `lazy.bundle` for optimized component loading.

| Feature | Usage | Purpose |
|---------|-------|---------|
| Islands | `@island(name: 'stats')` | Isolated update regions |
| Async | `wire:click.async` or `#[Async]` | Non-blocking actions |
| Deferred | `defer` attribute | Load after page render |
| Bundled | `lazy.bundle` | Load multiple together |

### New Directives

- `wire:sort`, `wire:intersect`, `wire:ref`, `.renderless`, `.preserve-scroll` are available for use.
- `data-loading` attribute automatically added to elements triggering network requests.

| Directive | Purpose |
|-----------|---------|
| `wire:sort` | Drag-and-drop sorting |
| `wire:intersect` | Viewport intersection detection |
| `wire:ref` | Element references for JS |
| `.renderless` | Component without rendering |
| `.preserve-scroll` | Preserve scroll position |

## Best Practices

- Always use `wire:key` in loops
- Use `wire:loading` for loading states
- Use `wire:model.live` for instant updates (default is debounced)
- Validate and authorize in actions (treat like HTTP requests)

## Configuration

- `smart_wire_keys` defaults to `true`; new configs: `component_locations`, `component_namespaces`, `make_command`, `csp_safe`.

## Alpine & JavaScript

- `wire:transition` uses browser View Transitions API; `$errors` and `$intercept` magic properties available.
- Non-blocking `wire:poll` and parallel `wire:model.live` updates improve performance.

For interceptors and hooks, see [reference/javascript-hooks.md](reference/javascript-hooks.md).

## Testing

<!-- Testing Example -->
```php
Livewire::test(Counter::class)
    ->assertSet('count', 0)
    ->call('increment')
    ->assertSet('count', 1);
```

## Verification

1. Browser console: Check for JS errors
2. Network tab: Verify Livewire requests return 200
3. Ensure `wire:key` on all `@foreach` loops

## Common Pitfalls

- Missing `wire:key` in loops → unexpected re-rendering
- Expecting `wire:model` real-time → use `wire:model.live`
- Unclosed component tags → syntax errors in v4
- Using deprecated config keys or JS hooks
- Including Alpine.js separately (already bundled in Livewire 4)

Flux includes [Heroicons](https://heroicons.com/) as its default icon set. Search for exact icon names on the Heroicons site - do not guess or invent icon names.

<!-- Icon Button -->
```blade
<flux:button icon="arrow-down-tray">Export</flux:button>
```

For icons not available in Heroicons, use [Lucide](https://lucide.dev/). Import the icons you need with the Artisan command:

```bash
php artisan flux:icon crown grip-vertical github
```

## Common Patterns

### Form Fields

<!-- Form Field -->
```blade
<flux:field>
    <flux:label>Email</flux:label>
    <flux:input type="email" wire:model="email" />
    <flux:error name="email" />
</flux:field>
```

### Modals

<!-- Modal -->
```blade
<flux:modal wire:model="showModal">
    <flux:heading>Title</flux:heading>
    <p>Content</p>
</flux:modal>
```

## Verification

1. Check component renders correctly
2. Test interactive states
3. Verify mobile responsiveness

## Common Pitfalls

- Trying to use Pro-only components in the free edition
- Not checking if a Flux component exists before creating custom implementations
- Forgetting to use the `search-docs` tool for component-specific documentation
- Not following existing project patterns for Flux usage

description: "Use this skill for Pest PHP testing in Laravel projects only. Trigger whenever any test is being written, edited, fixed, or refactored — including fixing tests that broke after a code change, adding assertions, converting PHPUnit to Pest, adding datasets, and TDD workflows. Always activate when the user asks how to write something in Pest, mentions test files or directories (tests/Feature, tests/Unit, tests/Browser), or needs browser testing, smoke testing multiple pages for JS errors, or architecture tests. Covers: test()/it()/expect() syntax, datasets, mocking, browser testing (visit/click/fill), smoke testing, arch(), Livewire component tests, RefreshDatabase, and all Pest 4 features. Do not use for factories, seeders, migrations, controllers, models, or non-test PHP code."

# Pest Testing 4

## Documentation

Use `search-docs` for detailed Pest 4 patterns and documentation.

## Basic Usage

### Creating Tests

All tests must be written using Pest. Use `php artisan make:test --pest {name}`.

### Test Organization

- Unit/Feature tests: `tests/Feature` and `tests/Unit` directories.
- Browser tests: `tests/Browser/` directory.
- Do NOT remove tests without approval - these are core application code.

### Basic Test Structure

Pest supports both `test()` and `it()` functions. Before writing new tests, check existing test files in the same directory to match the project's convention. Use `test()` if existing tests use `test()`, or `it()` if they use `it()`.

<!-- Basic Pest Test Example -->
```php
it('is true', function () {
    expect(true)->toBeTrue();
});
```

### Running Tests

- Run minimal tests with filter before finalizing: `php artisan test --compact --filter=testName`.
- Run all tests: `php artisan test --compact`.
- Run file: `php artisan test --compact tests/Feature/ExampleTest.php`.

## Assertions

Use specific assertions (`assertSuccessful()`, `assertNotFound()`) instead of `assertStatus()`:

<!-- Pest Response Assertion -->
```php
it('returns all', function () {
    $this->postJson('/api/docs', [])->assertSuccessful();
});
```

| Use | Instead of |
|-----|------------|
| `assertSuccessful()` | `assertStatus(200)` |
| `assertNotFound()` | `assertStatus(404)` |
| `assertForbidden()` | `assertStatus(403)` |

## Mocking

Import mock function before use: `use function Pest\Laravel\mock;`

## Datasets

Use datasets for repetitive tests (validation rules, etc.):

<!-- Pest Dataset Example -->
```php
it('has emails', function (string $email) {
    expect($email)->not->toBeEmpty();
})->with([
    'james' => 'james@laravel.com',
    'taylor' => 'taylor@laravel.com',
]);
```

## Pest 4 Features

| Feature | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| Browser Testing | Full integration tests in real browsers |
| Smoke Testing | Validate multiple pages quickly |
| Visual Regression | Compare screenshots for visual changes |
| Test Sharding | Parallel CI runs |
| Architecture Testing | Enforce code conventions |

### Browser Test Example

Browser tests run in real browsers for full integration testing:

- Browser tests live in `tests/Browser/`.
- Use Laravel features like `Event::fake()`, `assertAuthenticated()`, and model factories.
- Use `RefreshDatabase` for clean state per test.
- Interact with page: click, type, scroll, select, submit, drag-and-drop, touch gestures.
- Test on multiple browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) if requested.
- Test on different devices/viewports (iPhone 14 Pro, tablets) if requested.
- Switch color schemes (light/dark mode) when appropriate.
- Take screenshots or pause tests for debugging.

<!-- Pest Browser Test Example -->
```php
it('may reset the password', function () {
    Notification::fake();

    $this->actingAs(User::factory()->create());

    $page = visit('/sign-in');

    $page->assertSee('Sign In')
        ->assertNoJavaScriptErrors()
        ->click('Forgot Password?')
        ->fill('email', 'nuno@laravel.com')
        ->click('Send Reset Link')
        ->assertSee('We have emailed your password reset link!');

    Notification::assertSent(ResetPassword::class);
});
```

### Smoke Testing

Quickly validate multiple pages have no JavaScript errors:

<!-- Pest Smoke Testing Example -->
```php
$pages = visit(['/', '/about', '/contact']);

$pages->assertNoJavaScriptErrors()->assertNoConsoleLogs();
```

### Visual Regression Testing

Capture and compare screenshots to detect visual changes.

### Test Sharding

Split tests across parallel processes for faster CI runs.

### Architecture Testing

Pest 4 includes architecture testing (from Pest 3):

<!-- Architecture Test Example -->
```php
arch('controllers')
    ->expect('App\Http\Controllers')
    ->toExtendNothing()
    ->toHaveSuffix('Controller');
```

## Common Pitfalls

- Not importing `use function Pest\Laravel\mock;` before using mock
- Using `assertStatus(200)` instead of `assertSuccessful()`
- Forgetting datasets for repetitive validation tests
- Deleting tests without approval
- Forgetting `assertNoJavaScriptErrors()` in browser tests
