Api Resource Patterns

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to interact with Laravel applications using standard RESTful API conventions. It allows agents to perform CRUD operations on resources, manage authentication tokens, and handle JSON payloads seamlessly within the Laravel ecosystem.

When to use it

• Automating data entry or updates in a Laravel-managed backend system.
• Retrieving specific resource details for analysis or reporting tasks.
• Triggering state changes (e.g., creating orders, updating user profiles) via API endpoints.
• Integrating external AI workflows with existing Laravel infrastructure without writing custom code.

Key capabilities

• Execute HTTP requests using RESTful patterns (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
• Authenticate requests using Laravel Sanctum or Passport tokens.
• Parse and manipulate JSON responses from Laravel controllers.
• Handle error codes and status messages returned by the API.
• Support for middleware-defined headers and query parameters.

Example prompts

• "Fetch the latest 10 blog posts from our Laravel CMS and summarize their titles."
• "Create a new user account with the provided email and password via the registration endpoint."
• "Update the status of order #12345 to 'shipped' using the API token I just generated."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your Laravel application has CORS headers configured correctly if the AI agent runs on a different domain. Always validate that authentication tokens are current and properly scoped before attempting write operations.
