src/Middleware · high confidence

The product has been rebranded to Laravel Boost, reflected by the addition of a new SVG icon in the resources/icons directory. As part of this transition, the previous frontend infrastructure has been removed; specifically, the Tailwind CSS configuration (app.css), the JavaScript entry point (app.js) handling Axios and timezone setup, and the Blade layout template (layout.blade.php) defining the base HTML structure and global JavaScript variables have all been deleted.

resources · high confidence

The package guideline discovery process now intelligently filters which guidelines are loaded based on project dependencies. It excludes specific packages like Boost and Sail from automatic discovery, ensures that guidelines for MCP and Livewire are only included when they are direct dependencies (preventing noise from indirect imports), and implements a priority system where higher-priority packages (e.g., Pest over PHPUnit, FluxUI Pro over FluxUI Free) exclude their lower-priority counterparts. This results in a cleaner, more relevant set of guidelines presented to the user based on their actual project setup.

src/Install/Concerns · high confidence

The package has removed its default database scaffolding, including the \ModelFactory\ class and the migration that created the \table\ entity, as well as the pre-built frontend assets (\app.css\ and \app.js\). This indicates a shift away from providing a pre-configured database schema and static build output, likely requiring users to generate their own models, migrations, and build their frontend assets independently.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The installation process now uses a dedicated, robust writer to inject MCP server configurations into both JSON/JSON5 and TOML config files. This new logic handles complex formatting requirements such as preserving indentation, managing trailing commas, stripping leading BOMs from TOML files, and correctly identifying existing servers to prevent duplicates. It also supports unquoted keys in JSON5, ignores commented-out entries, and ensures files end with a trailing newline, providing a more reliable and consistent configuration update experience across different file formats.

src/Install/Mcp · high confidence

The AI skill definitions for Flux UI development have been updated to accurately distinguish between the free and Pro editions. The free edition skill now explicitly lists the available free components (such as button, modal, and table) and warns against using Pro-only features, while the Pro edition skill includes the full component list (adding items like accordion, chart, and kanban) and provides specific usage examples for Pro components like tables. This ensures the AI assistant applies the correct component set and patterns based on the installed Flux UI license.

.ai/fluxui-pro · high confidence

The Inertia Vue skill documentation has been updated to support Inertia.js v2, introducing guidance for new client-side capabilities such as the \\<Form\>\ component, deferred props, and prefetching. The entry also clarifies that v1-specific limitations (like the lack of \\<Form\>\ support) no longer apply in this context, ensuring developers use the correct patterns for their Inertia version.

.ai/inertia-vue/2 · high confidence

The guidelines for using Laravel Pint have been updated to conditionally instruct users to run the \--format agent\ flag when the environment supports the Pint Agent Formatter. This ensures that code formatting commands are executed correctly based on the available tooling capabilities, while falling back to standard \--dirty\ usage for environments without agent support.

.ai/pint · high confidence

The AI skill for Livewire development has been updated to reflect the changes in Livewire 3. Key behavioral shifts include \wire:model\ now being deferred by default (requiring \.live\ for real-time updates), components moving to the \App\\Livewire\ namespace, and Alpine.js being bundled with Livewire (removing the need for manual inclusion). The JavaScript hooks have also changed, replacing \livewire:load\ with \livewire:init\ and updating event dispatching to use \$this-\>dispatch()\. Users should verify their application setup against these new conventions.

.ai/livewire/3 · high confidence

The PHP AI guidelines have been refreshed to include specific recommendations for PHP 8.4 and PHP 8.5, such as using new array functions (\array\_find\, \array\_first\) and the pipe operator for chaining.
