What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides comprehensive guidance for building clean, maintainable Laravel 12 applications by applying modern PHP and Laravel conventions such as a service layer, thin controllers, form requests, DTOs, Enums, and robust model patterns. It helps teams reduce complexity and increase testability.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Service Layer Pattern: Move business logic out of controllers into dedicated services.
• Thin Controllers: Controllers handle HTTP concerns and delegate to services.
• Form Requests & Validation: Centralized validation rules and custom messages.
• Eloquent & Patterns: Repositories, DTOs, Enums, and clean model designs.
• Use Case: When building an HR system, implement services for employee management, while keeping controllers slim and easily testable.

Quick Start

Create a new EmployeeController with a thin controller that delegates to EmployeeService to handle creation.
