What it does

Laravel Clean Architecture is an agent skill from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. Implement Domain-Driven Design with typed DTOs, repository interfaces, and single-responsibility Action classes in Laravel. Use when creating domain folders, binding repository contracts in providers, or passing DTOs between layers.

Its SKILL.md is about 910 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json` and `references/implementation.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Backend development, Design patterns and Domain-driven design. It works with Laravel and PHP. The repository describes itself as: A collection of Agent Skills Standard and Best Practice for Programming Languages, Frameworks that help our AI Agent follow best practies on frameworks and programming laguages. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating domain folders
  • Binding repository contracts in providers
  • Passing DTOs between layers

Example prompts

  • “/laravel-clean-architecture”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Create domain folder — app/Domains/Order/{Actions,DTOs,Contracts}/.
  2. Define DTO — Create readonly class with typed constructor properties.
  3. Create contract — Define repository interface in Contracts/.
  4. Implement repository — Build Eloquent implementation; bind in AppServiceProvider.
  5. Write Action class — Single-responsibility use-case logic consuming DTO.
  6. Verify bindings — Run php artisan tinker and resolve interface to confirm DI works.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b529c2d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • php

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Laravel Clean Architecture loads about 913 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 349 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~913
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Implement Domain-Driven Design with typed DTOs, repository interfaces, and single-responsibility Action classes in Laravel. Use when creating domain folders, binding repository contracts in providers, or passing DTOs between layers.

Laravel Clean Architecture

Priority: P1 (HIGH)

Workflow: Add Domain Feature

  1. Create domain folder — app/Domains/Order/{Actions,DTOs,Contracts}/.
  2. Define DTO — Create readonly class with typed constructor properties.
  3. Create contract — Define repository interface in Contracts/.
  4. Implement repository — Build Eloquent implementation; bind in AppServiceProvider.
  5. Write Action class — Single-responsibility use-case logic consuming DTO.
  6. Verify bindings — Run php artisan tinker and resolve interface to confirm DI works.

Action + DTO Example

See implementation examples for Action class with DTO and domain structure patterns.

Implementation Guidelines

Domain-Driven Design (DDD)
  • Grouping: Organize code in app/Domains/Order/{Actions,DTOs,Contracts}/. Group by business domain (User, Order, Payment) — not by type (Controllers, Models).
  • Core Models: Keep standard Eloquent models in app/Models/.
  • Separation: Never put Eloquent queries in controllers; delegate to Action classes for use-case logic.
Data Transfer Objects (DTOs)
  • Immutability: Use readonly class (PHP 8.2+) or readonly properties (PHP 8.1+). DTOs cross boundaries — pass between layers instead of raw arrays or Eloquent models.
Repository Pattern & Decoupling
  • Interfaces: Create Contracts/OrderRepository interface and implement EloquentOrderRepository.
  • Binding: Bind interfaces to implementations in AppServiceProvider via $this->app->bind(OrderRepository::class, EloquentOrderRepository::class).
  • Usage: Inject interfaces into your actions/services.
  • Layer Flow: Controller → Action → Repository Interface → Eloquent. DTOs cross boundaries at every layer transition.

Anti-Patterns

  • No Eloquent in Controllers: Bridge layers with DTOs and Actions.
  • No raw arrays across layers: Use typed readonly DTOs.
  • No God Services: Break into single-responsibility Actions.
  • No concrete dependencies: Depend on Interfaces, not implementations.

References

Boundary checklist

  • Keep controllers free of Eloquent queries and pass DTOs across the boundary between HTTP and domain layers.
  • Inject OrderRepository contracts into Actions; bind them in the container instead of creating globals or grouping code only by technical type.
  • Prefer immutable transfer data or readonly DTOs to prevent accidental mutation.

Canonical response anchors

When this skill applies, preserve the following domain terminology or equivalent concrete examples in the answer when relevant:

  • bind them,Bind the contract,container bindings
  • boundary between HTTP,cross-layer API,pass it to
  • controllers free of queries,no Eloquent query,Keep controllers free
  • inject OrderRepository,inject OrderRepository,depends on the Action
  • instead of creating global,rather than by technical type
  • no Eloquent query,contain no Eloquent,free of queries
  • prevents accidental mutation,immutable transfer data,readonly DTO
