Can I view Nginx and PHP logs directly?

Yes, the skill includes specific commands to access Nginx access/error logs, PHP-FPM logs, and standard Laravel application logs.

Does this work with any Laravel server?

This skill is specifically optimized for servers provisioned and managed through the Laravel Forge platform and requires the Forge CLI to be installed.

Is it safe to run database commands using this skill?

The skill prioritizes read-only commands and uses safety hooks that require explicit user confirmation for destructive actions like migrations, seeds, or direct SQL deletions.

Does it support the latest PHP versions?

Yes, it includes specialized aliases to suppress deprecation warnings specifically found when running the Forge CLI on PHP 8.4.

How does it handle environment variables securely?

It avoids direct SSH editing. Instead, it uses a workflow that pulls the .env file locally for editing and then pushes it back, creating a safer update process with fewer escaping issues.
