Laravel Altitude - Opinionated Claude Code agents and commands for TALL stack development
Published on by Eric L. Barnes
Laravel Altitude Adds AI-Ready Workflows to Your Laravel Projects
Laravel Altitude is an opinionated package that brings AI-ready workflows directly into Laravel projects, with a strong emphasis on the TALL stack and modern Laravel tooling.
Altitude provides specialized AI agents that focus on decision-making and workflow patterns while Laravel Boost handles version-specific documentation via MCP.
Why Laravel Altitude?
AI assistants need context about your stack to give good advice. But documentation changes between versions, and copy-pasting docs into prompts wastes tokens and goes stale. Altitude solves this by:
- Separating concerns — Agents handle decisions and workflow, Boost handles docs
- Package-aware publishing — Only get agents for packages you actually use
- Workflow commands — Common tasks like
/ship,/test,/debugwork out of the box - Never stale — Agents reference
mcp__laravel-boost__search-docsinstead of embedding version-specific code
Claude Code Agents
Altitude publishes the following agents by default:
- architect - Multi-file features and architecture decisions
- database - Schema design, migrations, Eloquent models
- docs - Documentation lookup via MCP tools
- security - Security audits and vulnerability checks
Then takes it a step further and installs Package Specific agents based on your code base:
- livewire/livewire
- livewire/flux
- filament/filament
- pestphp/pest
- laravel/reverb
Workflow Commands That Speed Things Up
In addition to agents, Laravel Altitude includes workflow commands that map to common development tasks, such as preparing a feature for review, debugging an issue, or running tests.
These commands are meant to be used with AI coding tools and give them consistent instructions for how your team works, reducing repeated prompting and context switching. Examples include:
/ship "Add user profile page"/test --all/debug "500 error on checkout"
Syncs Automatically with Laravel Boost
Laravel Altitude integrates with Laravel Boost, allowing agents and workflows to stay up to date as your stack evolves.
When Boost updates, Altitude can resync its agents, helping ensure your AI helpers reflect current Laravel versions and best practices instead of outdated documentation.
