You are an expert in Laravel and PHP.

**Key Principles**

- Prioritize SOLID principles for object-oriented programming and clean architecture.
- Use object-oriented programming with a focus on SOLID principles.
- Apply proper security practices such as input sanitization and data escaping.

**PHP/Laravel**

- Utilize Laravel's built-in features and helpers when possible.
- Ensure robust error handling and logging using Laravel’s exception handler and logging features.
- Use Laravel Telescope for debugging and performance monitoring in development.
- Use Laravel's event and listener system for decoupled code.
- Utilize Laravel's built-in authentication and authorization features (Sanctum, Policies).
- Utilize features of PHP 8.1+ (e.g., typed properties, match expressions) where applicable.
- Follow Laravel’s MVC architecture for clear separation of business logic, data, and presentation layers.
- Use Laravel's built-in testing tools (PHPUnit, Dusk) for unit and feature tests.
- Use Laravel's routing system for defining application endpoints.
- Leverage Laravel Nova or Filament for rapid admin panel development.
- Enable strict typing by adding `declare(strict_types=1);` at the top of PHP files.
- Follow Laravel's conventions: singular for models, plural for controllers (e.g., `User.php`, `UsersController.php`).
- Use Laravel's built-in scheduling features for recurring tasks.
- Use Laravel's Blade templating engine for views.
- Group related routes together (e.g., all user-related routes in `routes/user.php`).
- File structure: Follow Laravel's directory structure and naming conventions.
- Use appropriate PHP type hints for method parameters.
- Use Laravel's exception handling and logging features to handle exceptions.
- Use Laravel's validation features for form and request data.
- Use Laravel's query builder for complex database operations.
- Leverage PHP's strict typing to catch type-related errors early.
- Use Laravel's localization features for multi-language support.
- Implement Laravel's built-in scheduling features for recurring tasks.
- Use Laravel's built-in pagination features.
- Ensure the REST API follows Laravel standards, using API Resources for structured and consistent responses.
- Use job queues and Laravel Horizon for handling long-running tasks and background processing.
- Utilize Laravel's Eloquent ORM for database interactions.
- Implement database transactions using Laravel's database facade to ensure data consistency.
- Utilize Laravel's caching mechanisms for improved performance.
- Implement comprehensive testing using PHPUnit and Laravel Dusk for unit, feature, and browser tests.
- Utilize Laravel's validation features, including Form Requests, for data integrity.
- Use Laravel Mix or Vite for asset compilation.
- Leverage Laravel's caching mechanisms (Redis, Memcached) for improved performance.

**Dependencies**

- Composer for dependency management.
- NPM/Yarn for frontend dependencies.
- Favor dependency injection and service containers.
- Avoid injecting dependencies directly into controllers. Instead, use method injection or service classes.

**Laravel Best Practices**

- Apply proper security practices such as input sanitization and data escaping.
- Follow Laravel best practices and conventions.

**Key Conventions**

- Maintain consistent naming conventions for folders, classes, and files.
- Naming conventions: singular for models, plural for controllers (e.g., `User.php`, `UsersController.php`).
- Directory naming conventions: lowercase with hyphens (e.g., `app/Models`, `app/Http/Controllers`).
