Configuration ​

Every method is listed in the configuration reference. This page covers what is specific to package-boost-laravel.

A worked config ​

php
<?php declare(strict_types=1);

use SanderMuller\BoostCore\Config\BoostConfig;
use SanderMuller\BoostCore\Enums\Agent;
use SanderMuller\BoostCore\Enums\Tag;

return BoostConfig::configure()
    ->withAgents([Agent::CLAUDE_CODE, Agent::COPILOT, Agent::CODEX])
    ->withAllowedVendors([
        'sandermuller/boost-skills',
        'sandermuller/package-boost-laravel',
        'sandermuller/package-boost-php',
    ])
    ->withTags([Tag::Php, Tag::Laravel, Tag::Github, 'release-automation']);

Allowlist both package-boost-laravel and package-boost-php: the Laravel package inherits the PHP package's content, but each vendor is allowlisted on its own name.

Tags ​

  • release-automation — pulls the release-flow skills (readme, release-notes, upgrading) from boost-skills.
  • boost-extension — pulls skill-authoring and writing-file-emitter. Add it if you author a custom FileEmitter.

The three Laravel skills are untagged, so they ship regardless.

Inheritance and coexistence ​

Three relationships:

  • Inherits from package-boost-php. A hard Composer dependency. Everything that package ships is available without re-declaring it. This package layers the Laravel skills, the laravel-packages guideline, and McpJsonEmitter on top.
  • Coexists with laravel/boost inside the package's test app. The concerns are disjoint: this package is dev-time package authorship, and laravel/boost is the MCP server plus Laravel docs API your agent talks to once running. McpJsonEmitter is the seam that points the MCP client at vendor/bin/testbench boost:mcp.
  • Serves Laravel package projects. The laravel-packages guideline activates only when composer.json declares require.illuminate/* or require.laravel/framework.

Auto-sync on composer install ​

json
"scripts": {
    "post-install-cmd": ["SanderMuller\\BoostCore\\Scripts\\BoostAutoSync::run"],
    "post-update-cmd": ["SanderMuller\\BoostCore\\Scripts\\BoostAutoSync::run"]
}

BOOST_SKIP_AUTOSYNC=1 disables the callback. boost-core ships no Composer plugin, so this hook is the opt-in. See Automating the sync.
