Curated by Skill Harbor — a Laravel specialist skill built on strict architectural rules: fat models with thin controllers, zero static methods, typed everything, no `env()` outside config, no `DB::raw` without reason, no direct model creation in controllers, always `$request->validated()`. Covers the modern Laravel 12 stack: Form Requests with inline `Gate::authorize`, ViewModels for Blade presentation, invokable Action classes over service classes, custom attribute casts, API resources, policies, observers, and queues — then the deeper toolkit: collections, pipeline pattern, conditional query builders, upserts, Eloquent performance (chunking, cursors, index hints, `withoutLazyLoading` prevention), model pruning, and API rate limiting. Includes a refactoring guide (code smells → fixes) and an explicit anti-patterns list. Honest notes: the install prompt above says to install this as an agent skill folder; the SKILL.md is a patterns document, not an executable — everything applies to your own Laravel project, nothing runs on its own. By @jeffallan, listed here with credit to its creator. Skill Harbor never reviews the code, review it yourself before use.

Install
Prerequisites: a Laravel project (patterns target Laravel 12) Install "Laravel Specialist" for me. Modern Laravel 12 patterns — Form Requests, ViewModels, actions, no god controllers Repository: https://github.com/jeffallan/claude-skills/blob/main/skills/laravel-specialist/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file for the jeffallan-claude-skills-laravel-specialist skill from the repository into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "jeffallan-claude-skills-laravel-specialist". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. any accounts, API keys, or CLI tools mentioned in the prerequisites above). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. Never ask me to paste secrets in chat — credentials go through the secure vault or environment variables. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
