OpenClaw Skills for Laravel and PHP Developers

Laravel is the most popular PHP framework, and its ecosystem has grown into a full development platform — Eloquent for databases, Livewire for reactive interfaces, Pest for testing, queues for background jobs, and Filament for admin panels. Each of these tools has conventions and patterns that AI agents need to understand to generate useful code.

OpenClaw skills teach your agent Laravel's idioms, not just PHP syntax. This guide covers the most valuable skills for Laravel developers, all available in the OpenClaw Bazaar skills directory.

Eloquent ORM Skills

Eloquent is elegant in its basic usage but has depth that takes time to master. AI agents without Laravel-specific training tend to generate queries that work but miss Eloquent's expressive features — eager loading, query scopes, accessors and mutators, and model events.

laravel-eloquent-mastery

Installs: 9,870 | Rating: 4.8/5

This is the most comprehensive Eloquent skill on the Bazaar. It covers relationship definitions (hasMany, belongsTo, belongsToMany, morphMany), eager loading with with() and load(), query scopes for reusable query logic, accessor and mutator methods using the Attribute class, and model events for lifecycle hooks.

openclaw skill install laravel-eloquent-mastery

After installing, your agent will use Eloquent's fluent API idiomatically — applying whereHas() for relationship-based filtering, withCount() for aggregate queries, and when() for conditional query building. It will also avoid the N+1 query problem by eager loading relationships proactively.

laravel-eloquent-performance

Installs: 4,560 | Rating: 4.7/5

A focused skill for performance-sensitive applications. It teaches your agent about lazy loading strictness (Model::preventLazyLoading()), chunked queries with chunk() and chunkById(), cursor-based iteration for memory efficiency, raw expressions for complex SQL, and database indexing strategies that complement Eloquent's query patterns.

openclaw skill install laravel-eloquent-performance

This skill is particularly valuable for applications that have grown beyond simple CRUD and need to handle large datasets or high query volumes without switching away from Eloquent.

Livewire Skills

laravel-livewire-3

Installs: 7,430 | Rating: 4.7/5

Livewire 3 introduced significant changes from Livewire 2, and many AI agents still generate Livewire 2 patterns. This skill brings your agent up to date with Livewire 3's new component syntax, the #[On] attribute for event listeners, reactive properties with #[Reactive], form objects, lazy loading with #[Lazy], and the Alpine.js integration patterns that Livewire 3 encourages.

openclaw skill install laravel-livewire-3

Your agent will generate Livewire components that use the current attribute-based syntax, handle file uploads correctly, implement real-time validation, and follow Livewire 3's conventions for component communication using events and the new dispatch system.

laravel-livewire-tables

Installs: 3,210 | Rating: 4.5/5

Data tables are one of the most common Livewire use cases. This skill teaches your agent to build sortable, searchable, and paginated tables with Livewire — including bulk actions, column filters, export functionality, and efficient query patterns that work with large datasets. It covers both custom table implementations and integration with popular Livewire table packages.

Pest Testing

laravel-pest-testing

Installs: 8,140 | Rating: 4.8/5

Pest has become the preferred testing framework in the Laravel ecosystem, offering an expressive syntax that reads more naturally than PHPUnit. This skill teaches your agent Pest's it() and test() functions, expectation API with expect(), higher-order tests, datasets for parameterized testing, and architectural testing for enforcing project rules.

openclaw skill install laravel-pest-testing

The skill covers testing patterns specific to Laravel — HTTP tests with get(), post(), and assertion chaining, database assertions with assertDatabaseHas(), Livewire component testing, queue and mail fakes, and authenticated test requests. Your agent will write tests that cover the happy path, error cases, and edge conditions using Pest's concise syntax.

laravel-pest-architecture

Installs: 2,970 | Rating: 4.6/5

Pest's architecture testing feature lets you enforce structural rules across your codebase. This skill teaches your agent to write architecture tests that verify controllers do not use Eloquent directly, models are in the correct namespace, actions follow single-responsibility patterns, and services depend only on abstractions. It is a powerful way to maintain code quality as the project grows.

Queue and Job Processing

laravel-queues-jobs

Installs: 6,290 | Rating: 4.7/5

Background job processing is essential for any Laravel application that handles emails, notifications, file processing, or API integrations. This skill covers job class creation, queue configuration for Redis and SQS, retry strategies with tries, backoff, and retryUntil, job batching with Bus::batch(), and chain dispatching for sequential job execution.

openclaw skill install laravel-queues-jobs

Your agent will generate jobs that handle failures gracefully, use rate limiting to avoid overwhelming external services, implement proper serialization for Eloquent models, and include the monitoring hooks that tools like Laravel Horizon expect. The skill also covers the unique job pattern (ShouldBeUnique) and job middleware for cross-cutting concerns.

laravel-event-driven

Installs: 3,850 | Rating: 4.5/5

Events and listeners are Laravel's mechanism for decoupling application logic. This skill teaches your agent to design event-driven architectures — defining event classes, registering listeners, using queued listeners for async processing, and subscriber classes for organizing related event handlers. It also covers model events, observer classes, and the event broadcast system for real-time updates via WebSockets.

Filament Admin Panels

laravel-filament-admin

Installs: 6,780 | Rating: 4.7/5

Filament has become the standard for building admin panels in Laravel. This skill teaches your agent Filament's resource generation, form builder with field types and validation, table builder with columns, filters, and actions, relation managers for nested CRUD, and the widget system for dashboard components.

openclaw skill install laravel-filament-admin

Your agent will generate Filament resources that leverage the full power of the form and table builders — custom field types, repeater fields for JSON data, select fields with relationship loading, bulk actions, and global search. The skill covers Filament v3 patterns including the panel builder, multi-tenancy support, and custom page creation.

laravel-filament-plugins

Installs: 2,640 | Rating: 4.4/5

Filament has a rich plugin ecosystem, and this skill teaches your agent how to integrate popular plugins — Shield for role-based permissions, Media Library for file management, and Settings for application configuration panels. It also covers writing custom Filament plugins for reusable admin components.

Laravel Application Architecture

laravel-action-pattern

Installs: 5,120 | Rating: 4.6/5

The action pattern has gained popularity in the Laravel community as a way to organize business logic outside of controllers and models. This skill teaches your agent to structure applications using single-purpose action classes that encapsulate business operations, are easily testable, and can be composed together for complex workflows.

openclaw skill install laravel-action-pattern

laravel-api-resources

Installs: 4,740 | Rating: 4.6/5

For teams building APIs with Laravel, this skill covers API resource classes for response transformation, resource collections with pagination metadata, conditional attributes, and versioning strategies. Your agent will generate API responses that are consistent, well-structured, and follow JSON:API or similar conventions.

Recommended Skill Combinations

A typical Laravel developer building a full-stack application should install:

1. laravel-eloquent-mastery for database interactions
2. laravel-livewire-3 for reactive front-end components
3. laravel-pest-testing for comprehensive test coverage
4. laravel-queues-jobs for background processing
5. laravel-filament-admin for admin panel development

For API-focused projects, swap laravel-livewire-3 for laravel-api-resources and add laravel-action-pattern for clean business logic organization.
