What coding agents get wrong in Laravel
Agents load relations inside a loop, put validation in controllers where Form Requests fit, and run slow work inside the request when a queued job fits.
Skills that help
Skills for Laravel conventions, Eloquent, queues, validation and Pest or PHPUnit tests. The Laravel team publishes skills for its own services.
Cursor rules: the database holds 12 Cursor rule files (.mdc) tagged Laravel (laravel, laravel-best-practices-rules, laravel-package-coding-standards, laravel-package-development-guidelines, laravel-package-structure, laravel-package-testing-and-documentation, and more). Cursor reads them from .cursor/rules/. Other agents load SKILL.md skills, so most picks here are skills.
3 picks to start with
1. laravel-best-practices
Laravel 13 conventions and best practices.
npx skills add AsyrafHussin/agent-skills --skill laravel-best-practices
2. eloquent-best-practices
Best practices for Laravel Eloquent ORM including query optimization, relationship management, and avoiding common pitfalls like N+1 queries.
npx skills add iSerter/laravel-claude-agents --skill eloquent-best-practices
3. laravel-testing
Laravel 13 testing with Pest PHP 4 or PHPUnit 12.
npx skills add AsyrafHussin/agent-skills --skill laravel-testing

These 3 fit Laravel in general. The scan box opens with a sample Laravel description you can edit. A scan reads your repo or description, shows the match count and 2 picks free, and the full curated list (up to 30 picks with install commands, reasons and overlap notes) costs $9 once.
Where each agent loads Laravel skills
- Claude Code: project folder
.claude/skills/, install flag--agent claude-code - Cursor: project folder
.cursor/skills/ or .agents/skills/, install flag--agent cursor - Codex: project folder
.agents/skills/, install flag--agent codex - GitHub Copilot: project folder
.github/skills/ or .agents/skills/, install flag--agent github-copilot
npx skills add owner/repo --skill skill-name --agent claude-code
How we count
We match project tags against 99,639 skills from 7,206 public GitHub repos (refreshed 2026-10-18). A skill built for another framework or language is left out, and so is a skill below our relevance floor. The picks on this page come from the ranked list for these tags. We favor broad practice skills over single-task ones. Licenses are shown as each repo declares them. Read a skill before you install it.
Questions
What agent skills should I use for Laravel?
Start with a broad practice skill built for Laravel, then add skills for testing and review. In our database 193 skills are tagged for Laravel and 444 skills match a typical Laravel project. The picks on this page are a place to start. A scan of your repo ranks the full list for your tasks.
Pest or PHPUnit?
laravel-testing covers both. Tell your agent which one the repo uses, or let it read composer.json.
Are there Cursor rules for Laravel?
Yes. The database holds 12 Cursor rule files (.mdc) tagged Laravel. Cursor loads them from .cursor/rules/. Claude Code, Codex and Copilot do not read .mdc rules, so pick SKILL.md skills for those agents.
Where do Laravel skills go for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and Copilot?
Claude Code reads .claude/skills/, Cursor reads .cursor/skills/ or .agents/skills/, Codex reads .agents/skills/, and GitHub Copilot reads .github/skills/ or .agents/skills/. The install command takes --agent with the agent name and copies the skill folder there.
Why 3 picks here?
