How does it handle database configuration?

The skill automatically selects PostgreSQL for Laravel Herd Pro users and defaults to SQLite for others to ensure a smooth, zero-config startup.

Can I choose not to install an authentication flow?

Yes, during the setup process, Claude will specifically ask if you want to include authentication; if not, it applies the --no-authentication flag.

What should I do after the project is created?

Once the skill finishes, you should close your current Claude Code session, navigate into the new project directory, and start a new session there.

Does this skill require the Laravel installer?

Yes, the skill utilizes the 'laravel new' command, so the Laravel CLI should be installed and accessible in your system path.

What testing framework is used?

All projects created with this skill are initialized with Pest, the elegant PHP testing framework, by default.

Automates the initialization of new Laravel projects with pre-configured authentication, database settings, and Laravel Herd integration.

This skill streamlines the process of starting a new Laravel application by handling boilerplate setup through Claude Code.
