Agent-skills-standard laravel-clean-architecture

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. (triggers: app/Domains/**/*.php, app/Providers/*.php, domain, dto, repository, contract, adapter)

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.
