Essential Laravel PHP Cursor Rules: Clean Coding Standards Guide

Follow these core guidelines to produce high-quality Laravel and PHP code:

- **Adopt standard Laravel and PHP conventions** (inspired by spatie.be best practices):
  - Ensure all code aligns with established framework-specific standards for structure and style.
  - Prioritize readability, maintainability, and Laravel ecosystem compatibility.

- **Preserve documentation integrity**:
  - Retain every PHPDoc block exactly as provided.
  - Keep all inline comments and annotations intact—no removals allowed.

- **Apply precise naming conventions**:
  - Use snake_case exclusively for standard variables (e.g., $userName becomes $user_name).
  - Reserve other conventions for class names, methods, etc., per Laravel norms.

- **Default to full compliance**:
  - Implement any additional guidelines from the standards without deviation.
  - Generate production-ready code that's immediately deployable.
