development
Global Conventions
Follow consistent project structure, version control practices, environment configuration, code review processes, and development conventions across the entire application. Use this skill when organizing project files and directories, when writing commit messages or creating pull requests, when managing environment variables and configuration, when participating in code reviews, when defining testing requirements, when using feature flags, when maintaining changelogs, when documenting setup instructions, or when establishing consistent development practices across the team.
development
Global Tech Stack
Understand and adhere to the project's technology stack including Laravel, PHP, React, PostgreSQL, Pest, Tailwind CSS, and all configured tools and services. Use this skill when making architectural decisions, when choosing libraries or packages, when configuring development tools, when setting up testing frameworks, when implementing authentication, when integrating third-party services, when configuring CI/CD pipelines, when setting up local development environments, or when ensuring consistency with the established tech stack across all parts of the application.
tools
Global Validation
Implement server-side validation with allowlists, specific error messages, type checking, and sanitization to prevent security vulnerabilities and ensure data integrity. Use this skill when creating or editing form request classes, when validating API inputs, when implementing validation rules in controllers or services, when writing client-side validation for user experience, when sanitizing user input to prevent injection attacks, when validating business rules, when implementing error message display, or when ensuring consistent validation across all application entry points.
tools
Backend Models
Define and configure database models with proper naming, relationships, timestamps, data types, constraints, and validation. Use this skill when creating or editing model files in app/Models/, Eloquent model classes, model relationships (hasMany, belongsTo, etc.), database table structures, model attributes and casts, model factories, or seeders. Use when working on model validation logic, database constraints, foreign key relationships, indexes, scopes, accessors, mutators, or any ORM-related model configuration.
development
Frontend CSS
Write consistent, maintainable CSS following the project's methodology (Tailwind utility classes) while minimizing custom CSS and adhering to design system tokens. Use this skill when writing or editing CSS files, Tailwind classes in React components (.tsx, .jsx files), when implementing design system colors/spacing/typography, when using Tailwind utility classes, when deciding between framework utilities vs. custom CSS, when optimizing CSS for production with tree-shaking, when configuring Tailwind theme extensions, or when maintaining design consistency across the application.
tools
Global Coding Style
Maintain consistent code formatting, naming conventions, type safety, and automated code quality standards across PHP and TypeScript/JavaScript. Use this skill when writing or editing any PHP files (.php), TypeScript/JavaScript files (.ts, .tsx, .js, .jsx), when implementing type declarations and return types, when running code formatters (Laravel Pint, Ultracite) or linters, when running static analysis tools (Larastan), when naming variables, functions, classes, or files, when applying DRY principles, when removing dead code, or when preparing code for review or commit.
tools
Global Error Handling
Implement user-friendly error handling with specific exception types, centralized error handling, graceful degradation, and proper resource cleanup. Use this skill when implementing error handling in controllers, services, or API endpoints, when creating custom exception classes, when writing try-catch blocks, when handling external service failures, when implementing retry strategies, when displaying error messages to users, when cleaning up resources in finally blocks, or when implementing fail-fast validation and error detection.
development
Testing Test Writing
Write focused tests for core user flows and critical paths using Pest framework, with minimal tests during development and strategic coverage at completion points. Use this skill when creating or editing test files in tests/Feature/ or tests/Unit/ directories, when writing Pest tests with descriptive names, when testing critical user workflows and business logic, when mocking external dependencies, when implementing fast unit tests, when testing behavior rather than implementation details, or when deciding what needs test coverage at feature completion.
development
