laravel-package-major-upgradeAdds support for a new Laravel major to a package by extending composer.json constraints for illuminate, Testbench and Pest and the CI test matrix.
When you ask a Laravel package to support a new framework major, the skill treats your number as the Laravel major only. It reads composer.json and the run-tests workflow to copy the existing constraint style, then extends every illuminate/* constraint with the pattern already in use, typically appending the next caret range to a pipe-separated chain. Unrelated packages such as Filament or Sanctum are left alone unless the upgrade requires them.
Testbench and Pest are handled differently, because their majors are not assumed to match Laravel's. The agent finds the highest major already listed and appends the next one, and verifies against the project's releases or docs when unsure. In the GitHub Actions workflow it adds a new matrix.laravel entry in the existing style and ordering, and adds matrix include rows where a pinned Testbench constraint is needed. A reference.md file holds additional detail.

Laravel Package Major Upgrade loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 477 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

This skill also uses 1 other file; get the full folder from GitHub.When adding support for a new Laravel major (e.g. “Laravel 13”), treat the user’s number as the framework major only. Do not assume orchestra/testbench or pestphp/* majors match Laravel’s number.
N (e.g. “13” → N = 13).composer.json and .github/workflows/run-tests.yml to match existing constraint and YAML style (pipe-separated ^ ranges, matrix ordering, include / exclude patterns).composer.json — illuminate/*illuminate/ (e.g. illuminate/contracts, illuminate/database, illuminate/support if present).|^N.0 appended to an existing chain like ^10.0|^11.0|...).composer.json — orchestra/testbenchN (Laravel 13 ≠ Testbench 13).require-dev (e.g. ^8.0|^9.0|^10.0|^11.0 → highest is 11).|^M.0 where M = previous_max + 1.M is correct for that Laravel release, verify with orchestra/testbench releases/README or library docs (e.g. Context7) before finalizing.composer.json — Pest (if present)pestphp/pest and plugins (pestphp/pest-plugin-laravel, pestphp/pest-plugin-faker, etc.) use piped majors, append the next major for each, consistent with the existing chain (same rule as Testbench: increment from the package’s previous major, not from Laravel N)..github/workflows/run-tests.ymlmatrix.laravel: add a new entry for the new line, using the same constraint style as existing rows (e.g. "^N.0"). Keep project ordering (often newest first).
matrix.include: for each Laravel row that needs a pinned Testbench constraint for composer require, add:
- laravel: "^N.0"
testbench: M.*where M.* matches the Testbench major chosen in step 3 (same mapping the workflow already uses for other versions).
matrix.exclude: mirror Laravel’s minimum PHP for N (copy patterns from Laravel docs or existing rows for other majors). Do not drop excludes that still apply to older matrix entries.
If the job uses composer require "laravel/framework:${{ matrix.laravel }}" and a Testbench line, ensure the install step still resolves (some workflows use testbench matrix key — keep consistency with this repo).
composer update (or the narrowest install that matches the new matrix cell) and composer test (and composer stan / composer cs-fix if the project defines them).illuminate/* constraints include ^N.0 (or project-equivalent).orchestra/testbench gained one new major derived from the previous max, verified against Testbench’s Laravel compatibility if needed.run-tests.yml matrix + include (+ exclude if needed) match the new Laravel/Testbench pair.For a historical Testbench ↔ Laravel cheat sheet (verify at upgrade time), see reference.md.

Laravel Package Major Upgrade fits situations like: adding support for a new Laravel major version to a package; aligning Testbench and Pest constraints with a new framework release; extending the CI test matrix for another Laravel version.
Run `npx skills add mailcarrierapp/mailcarrier --skill laravel-package-major-upgrade -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.cursor/skills/laravel-package-major-upgrade in mailcarrierapp/mailcarrier) into .claude/skills/laravel-package-major-upgrade in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add mailcarrierapp/mailcarrier --skill laravel-package-major-upgrade -a codex`.

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add mailcarrierapp/mailcarrier --skill laravel-package-major-upgrade -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/laravel-package-major-upgrade, .gemini/skills/laravel-package-major-upgrade, .github/skills/laravel-package-major-upgrade and .opencode/skills/laravel-package-major-upgrade in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Laravel Package Major Upgrade needs the command-line tools its instructions call (composer). Our summary lists: A Laravel package repository with composer.json and .github/workflows/run-tests.yml.
SKILL.md names 3 domains. As links in the text: github.com, laravel.com and pestphp.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
