AI Assistance

Webminty Guidelines

webminty/boost-webminty-guidelines provides Webminty's Laravel, Tailwind, Inertia and Livewire coding standards as AI skills for Laravel Boost (v4: PHP 8.4+, Laravel 13+). Pint, Rector and PHPStan in this kit are configured to match them.

Claude Code Agents

Project agents live in .claude/agents. Ask Claude Code to use one by name, or let it pick the right one:

Agent	Purpose
standards-reviewer	Runs Pint, Rector and PHPStan, then checks the branch against the Webminty standards
security-reviewer	Reviews the branch for authorization, mass assignment, data exposure and injection problems
test-gap-finder	Lists new or changed behaviour that has no test coverage
pest-test-writer	Writes non-browser Pest tests, skipping redundant and framework-level cases
pest-test-runner	Runs the non-browser suite and sorts failures into test bug, code bug or environment
pest-browser-writer	Writes Pest browser tests for journeys and JavaScript behaviour that Feature tests cannot prove
pest-browser-runner	Runs the browser tests, checks Playwright and the build first, and reads failure screenshots
project-docs-keeper	Updates features.md, DECISIONS.md and CHANGELOG.md for the branch

The reviewers and runners are read-only. The writers edit only tests/, and project-docs-keeper edits only features.md, DECISIONS.md and CHANGELOG.md. None of them commit.

Additional Configurations

Changes to the default Laravel files are included in this starter kit to improve performance and developer experience.

app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php

if ($this->app->isProduction()) {
    Model::handleLazyLoadingViolationUsing(function ($model, $relation) {
        $class = get_class($model);

        info("Attempted to lazy load [{$relation}] on model [{$class}].");
    });
    DB::prohibitDestructiveCommands();
} else {
    Model::preventAccessingMissingAttributes();
