Spatie Shares Their Coding Guidelines as AI Skills

The Spatie team has open-sourced their internal coding guidelines as reusable AI skills via spatie/guidelines-skills . Skills are reusable instruction sets for AI coding assistants that activate automatically based on context — think of them as project-aware prompts that keep an AI agent aligned with your team's conventions without repeated manual guidance.

The package ships with four skills covering the areas Spatie cares most about:

• spatie-laravel-php — PSR-12 standards, typed properties, constructor promotion, early returns, Laravel controller naming, validation rules, and Blade template practices.
• spatie-javascript — Prettier configuration, const declarations, strict equality operators, named functions, and destructuring patterns.
• spatie-version-control — Repository naming, branch conventions, commit messaging, and squash merge strategies.
• spatie-security — SSL requirements, CSRF protection, password hashing, database permissions, and credential management.

The skills are distributed through skills.sh , which means they work across multiple AI stacks — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and GitHub Copilot.

For Laravel Boost users, installation is via Composer:

Previously, Spatie offered a similar package spatie/boost-spatie-guidelines exclusively for Laravel Boost users. The move to skills.sh opens this up to anyone regardless of their AI tooling setup.

If you want a head start aligning your AI coding assistant with battle-tested Laravel and PHP conventions, the source is available on GitHub 。
