Improved Skill and Guideline Detection in Laravel Boost v2.2.0 image

Laravel Boost v2.2.0 adds significant improvements to how skills and guidelines are detected for your app, ensuring they are always up to date.

  • Improved Vendor package guideline and skill loading
  • Restructured Inertia guidelines path

What's New

Vendor Package Guideline and Skill Loading

Boost now resolves guidelines and skills from vendor packages in addition to the built-in .ai/ directory. Package maintainers can ship guidelines in vendor/{pkg}/resources/boost/guidelines/ (Composer) or node_modules/{pkg}/resources/boost/guidelines/ (npm), and Boost will load them automatically.

Resolution follows this priority order:

  1. .ai/guidelines/ in the user project (project developer)
  2. vendor/{pkg}/resources/boost/guidelines/ (Composer package maintainer)
  3. node_modules/{pkg}/resources/boost/guidelines/ (npm package maintainer)
  4. Built-in Boost .ai/ directory (Boost team)

PR: #566

Upgrade Notes

This release includes a minor breaking change to the Inertia guidelines structure. Guidelines previously located at .ai/inertia-laravel/core.blade.php are now organized by version:

# Before
.ai/inertia-laravel/core.blade.php
 
# After
.ai/inertia-laravel/2/core.blade.php
.ai/inertia-laravel/1/core.blade.php

Update any related packages to maintain compatibility with this structural change.
