Why Helix-Forge?

[](#why-helix-forge)

ProblemHow Helix-Forge Solves ItAI generates messy code in LaravelAttribute-driven + explicit DI = clean outputMagic facades break static analysisNo facades, no `__call`. Constructor injection onlyRoutes scattered across files`#[Route]` attributes on controller methodsSchema defined in 4 places`#[Entity]` / `#[Column]` — one source of truthAI breaks things by guessing pathsAgent protocol: safe CLI commands for AIFeatures
--------

[](#features)

- **⚡ Attribute Routing** — `#[Route('/api/users', method: 'GET')]` on controller methods
- **🧩 Explicit DI** — PSR-11 container with auto-wiring. No facades
- **📦 Schema-First DB** — `#[Entity]` / `#[Column]` attributes, repository pattern
- **✅ Attribute Validation** — `#[Validate]` rules on methods and properties
- **🤖 AI-Native** — `.helix/agent.yml` protocol for safe AI code generation
- **🔥 Compiled Routes** — 0.2ms resolution, no reflection in prod
- **📖 Built-in Docs** — Visit `/docs` when the server is running
