Opinionated Laravel Skills & Commands for Claude Code

What is this? • Skills • Installation • Contributing

What is this?

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.

Model compatibility: These skills have been developed and refined for Claude Code running on Opus 4.5. Different models may exhibit different edge cases, and future model releases may require adjustments to the prompts and workflows.

Quick Install

Marketplace (cached globally):

/plugin marketplace add leeovery/claude-plugins-marketplace
/plugin install claude-laravel@claude-plugins-marketplace

npm (copied to your repo):

npm install -D @leeovery/claude-laravel

See Installation for details and trade-offs.

Installation

Option 1: Claude Marketplace

/plugin marketplace add leeovery/claude-plugins-marketplace
/plugin install claude-laravel@claude-plugins-marketplace

Skills are cached globally. They won't be available in Claude Code for Web since files aren't in your repository.

Option 2: npm

npm install -D @leeovery/claude-laravel

Skills are copied to .claude/ and can be committed—giving you ownership and making them available everywhere including Claude Code for Web.

pnpm add -D @leeovery/claude-manager @leeovery/claude-laravel
pnpm approve-builds  # approve when prompted
pnpm install         # triggers postinstall

npx claude-manager remove @leeovery/claude-laravel && npm rm @leeovery/claude-laravel

How It Works

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

1. Copies skills into your project's .claude/skills/ directory
2. Copies commands into your project's .claude/commands/ directory
3. Copies agents into your project's .claude/agents/ directory
4. Tracks installed plugins via a manifest file

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