laravel-api-tool-kit

Use this when an existing model needs filtering, sorting, or search added to its list endpoint.

A defense-oriented multi-phase code review. Validates feature completeness against acceptance criteria, catches real bugs (not just style), and separates introduced issues from pre-existing debt.

Use this when you discover a repeatable process during a session — an investigation type, a setup procedure, a debugging pattern — that should be captured as a reusable workflow.

Use during investigation or feature verification to test an endpoint directly and cross-reference its response against the database.

Structured debugging workflow for any issue — wrong response, missing data, queue failures, auth problems, performance issues. Works for any Laravel API project.

Build production-grade Laravel REST APIs. Covers general best practices (code quality, DI, events, auth, exceptions, testing, database) AND essa/api-tool-kit specific patterns (ApiResponse, QueryFilters, dynamicPaginate, EnumHelpers). Use when creating or reviewing any Laravel API code in a project that has essa/api-tool-kit installed.
