Version Compatibility
---------------------

[](#version-compatibility)

⚠️ **Important Notice**: This package has different versions for different Laravel Boost versions:

- **Version 1.x**: Compatible with Laravel Boost 1.x (legacy)
- **Version 2.x**: Compatible with Laravel Boost 2.x (current stable)

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

Laravel Extra Boost is a fork of the original [gonetone/laravel-boost-windsurf-extension](https://packagist.org/packages/gonetone/laravel-boost-windsurf-extension) package. It's an extension package for [Laravel Boost](https://github.com/laravel/boost) that provides integration for additional AI-powered development environments including [Windsurf](https://windsurf.com/) and [Antigravity](https://antigravity.dev/). This package enhances Laravel Boost by adding support for these modern AI coding assistants and provides custom commands to manage frontmatter in guideline files.

### About This Implementation

[](#about-this-implementation)

This package follows my personal workflow methodology. Instead of using the `.windsurfrules` file, it uses the `.windsurf/rules/laravel-boost.md` directory structure. Similarly, rather than having separate options for Windsurf and Windsurf JetBrains plugins, when creating the Windsurf MCP configuration, it creates it in both `.codeium` and `.codeium/windsurf` directories to ensure compatibility with both setups.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Windsurf Integration**: Full support for Windsurf editor and Windsurf JetBrains plugin
- **Antigravity Integration**: Complete support for Antigravity AI development environment
- **Custom Frontmatter Management**: Automatically fixes frontmatter in guideline files for supported environments
- **MCP Server Configuration**: Configures Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for supported environments
- **Skills Support**: Support for AI agent skills with dedicated skills directories
- **Enhanced Commands**: Provides `extra-boost:install` and `extra-boost:update` commands
- **Agent Architecture**: Built on the new Agent system for better extensibility

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### Option A: For Laravel Boost 1.x (Legacy)

[](#option-a-for-laravel-boost-1x-legacy)

Install the legacy version:

```
composer require akrista/laravel-extra-boost:^1.0 --dev
```

### Option B: For Laravel Boost 2.x (Current Stable)

[](#option-b-for-laravel-boost-2x-current-stable)

Install the current stable version:

```
composer require akrista/laravel-extra-boost --dev
```

### Step 2: Install Laravel Boost

[](#step-2-install-laravel-boost)

Run the enhanced install command to install Laravel Boost with support for Windsurf and Antigravity:

```
php artisan extra-boost:install
```

This command will:

- Install Laravel Boost with all its features
- Automatically detect and configure supported environments
- Fix frontmatter in guideline files for Windsurf and Antigravity

During installation, you will be prompted to select environments. The available options will include:

- `windsurf` - For Windsurf Editor and Windsurf JetBrains Plugin
- `antigravity` - For Antigravity AI development environment

### Optional Installation Parameters

[](#optional-installation-parameters)

You can skip specific features during installation:

```
# Skip installing AI guidelines
php artisan extra-boost:install --ignore-guidelines

# Skip installing MCP server configuration
php artisan extra-boost:install --ignore-mcp

# Skip both
php artisan extra-boost:install --ignore-guidelines --ignore-mcp
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Updating Guidelines

[](#updating-guidelines)

To update Laravel Boost guidelines and fix frontmatter for supported environments:

```
php artisan extra-boost:update
```

### Switching Between Projects

[](#switching-between-projects)

Since Windsurf and Antigravity use global-level MCP configuration files, you need to run the following command when switching between different Laravel projects:

```
php artisan extra-boost:install --no-interaction
```

This ensures that the MCP configuration points to the correct path for the current project.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

After installation, the package will automatically:

1. Register the Windsurf and Antigravity agents with Laravel Boost
2. Configure MCP servers for supported environments
3. Create or update guideline files with proper frontmatter:
    - `.windsurf/rules/laravel-boost.md` for Windsurf
    - `.agent/rules/laravel-boost.md` for Antigravity
4. Create skills directories:
    - `.windsurf/skills/` for Windsurf AI skills
    - `.agent/skills/` for Antigravity AI skills
