Can I use PestPHP for testing with this skill?

Yes, the skill includes a --with-pest flag that automatically sets up PestPHP, Orchestra Testbench, and an example test suite.

How does it handle local development within an existing project?

The script automatically updates your root project's composer.json to include the new package as a path repository, enabling symlinks for real-time development.

Does it follow Laravel naming conventions?

Yes, it enforces kebab-case for package names, PascalCase for PHP namespaces, and standardized naming for ServiceProviders and Facades.

What version of Laravel does this skill support?

It generates packages compatible with Laravel 11.0, 12.0, and newer, using PHP 8.2+ requirements and modern Laravel standards.

Can I add Artisan commands to the generated package?

Absolutely. By using the --with-command flag, the skill generates a functional InstallCommand and registers it within the ServiceProvider.
