What it does

Laravel Eloquent is an agent skill from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. Write performant Eloquent queries with eager loading, reusable scopes, and strict lazy-loading prevention in Laravel. Use when defining model relationships, creating query scopes, or processing large datasets with chunk/cursor.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 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 and Web performance. It works with Laravel. 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

  • Defining model relationships
  • Creating query scopes
  • Processing large datasets with chunk/cursor

Example prompts

  • “/laravel-eloquent”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Define model — Set $fillable, $casts, and relationships.
  2. Enable strict loading — Call Model::preventLazyLoading(!app()->isProduction()) in AppServiceProvider.
  3. Add scopes — Create scopeActive(), scopeVerified() for reusable filters.
  4. Eager-load in queries — Use with() for all relationship access.
  5. Process large datasets — Use chunk() or cursor() instead of get().

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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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 Eloquent loads about 639 tokens when it runs, and up to ~956 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 224 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~639
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~956

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.

Write performant Eloquent queries with eager loading, reusable scopes, and strict lazy-loading prevention in Laravel. Use when defining model relationships, creating query scopes, or processing large datasets with chunk/cursor.

Laravel Eloquent

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Workflow: Add Model with Safe Queries

  1. Define model — Set $fillable, $casts, and relationships.
  2. Enable strict loading — Call Model::preventLazyLoading(!app()->isProduction()) in AppServiceProvider.
  3. Add scopes — Create scopeActive(), scopeVerified() for reusable filters.
  4. Eager-load in queries — Use with() for all relationship access.
  5. Process large datasets — Use chunk() or cursor() instead of get().

Scope + Eager Loading Example

See implementation examples for model scopes, eager loading, and directory structure.

Implementation Guidelines

Query Efficiency & Performance
  • N+1 Prevention: Always use with() or $with for relationships. Never access relationship properties in loop without eager loading (N+1 Prevention).
  • Strict Loading: Call Model::preventLazyLoading(!app()->isProduction()) in AppServiceProvider::boot() to throw LazyLoadingViolationException in local/dev.
  • Large Datasets: Use chunk(), lazy(), or cursor() for processing many records without memory issues (Memory Efficiency).
Query Logic & Scopes
  • Reusable Scopes: Define scopeName(Builder $query): Builder methods in models for reusable query filters.
  • Chaining: Chain scopes (e.g., User::active()->verified()->get()) to keep controllers from duplicating query logic.
Models & Security
  • Mass Assignment: Always define protected $fillable array; use $request->validated() for Model::create().
  • Casting: Use protected $casts for dates, JSON, and custom types to ensure data consistency.

Anti-Patterns

  • No lazy loading: Eager-load with with() or $with; never in loops.
  • No business logic in Models: Move to Services or Actions.
  • No raw SQL strings: Use Query Builder or Eloquent methods.
  • No select *: Specify required columns to limit data transfer.
