Laravel AI SDK Plus

A fork of the official Laravel AI SDK enriched with additional features. This package is kept in sync with the upstream laravel/ai repository as closely as possible — all core functionality remains identical.

Installation

composer require anilcancakir/laravel-ai-sdk-plus

Note: This package replaces laravel/ai. You should not have both installed at the same time.

What's Different?

Everything from the official Laravel AI SDK works exactly the same. This fork adds the following features on top:

Agent Skills System

A file-based, discoverable system that allows AI agents to dynamically load domain-specific instructions and reference files at runtime. Skills are Markdown files with YAML front matter, placed in resources/skills/.

class DesignAgent extends Agent
{
    use Skillable;

    public function skills(): iterable
    {
        return ['wind-ui'];
    }
}

Thinking / Extended Reasoning

Configure thinking/reasoning behavior per agent using the #[Thinking] attribute. Works across all major providers with automatic parameter mapping.

use Laravel\Ai\Attributes\Thinking;

#[Thinking]                        // Enable with defaults
#[Thinking(effort: 'low')]         // Reasoning effort (OpenAI, Gemini, OpenAI-Compatible)
#[Thinking(budgetTokens: 10000)]   // Token budget (Anthropic, Gemini)
#[Thinking(effort: 'high', budgetTokens: 16000)] // Both

OpenAI-Compatible Provider

Support for any OpenAI-compatible API endpoint (LocalAI, Ollama, vLLM, LiteLLM, etc.) as a first-class provider.

// config/ai.php
'providers' => [
    'my-provider' => [
        'driver' => 'openai-compatible',
        'key' => env('MY_PROVIDER_API_KEY'),
        'url' => 'https://api.my-provider.com/v1',
        'models' => [
            'default' => 'gpt-4o',
            'image' => 'image-model',
        ],
    ],
],

Text Generation

use Laravel\Ai\Ai;

$response = Ai::textProvider('my-provider')
    ->prompt('Explain quantum computing in one sentence.');

Image Generation

Generate images through any OpenAI-compatible service that supports image generation via the chat completions endpoint:

use Laravel\Ai\Image;

// Basic image generation
$response = Image::of('A cat wearing a top hat')->generate('my-provider');

// Access the generated image
$response->firstImage()->image; // Base64 content
$response->firstImage()->mime;  // e.g. 'image/png'

// Save to disk
$response->store('images', 'public');

// With size and quality options
Image::of('A futuristic cityscape')
    ->landscape()
    ->quality('high')
    ->generate('my-provider');

// With reference image attachments
use Laravel\Ai\Files\Image as ImageFile;

Image::of('Make this image more vibrant')
    ->attachments([
        ImageFile::fromPath('/path/to/reference.jpg'),
    ])
    ->generate('my-provider');

Set a default image provider to skip specifying it every time:

// config/ai.php
'default_for_images' => 'my-provider',

// Then simply:
Image::of('A mountain at dawn')->generate();
