Laravel Doctor
==============

[](#laravel-doctor)

Artisan-first Laravel codebase health scanner inspired by React Doctor.

`laravel-doctor` reports actionable diagnostics across security, correctness, performance, architecture, and maintainability, then computes a local deterministic 0-100 score.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require --dev joshcirre/laravel-doctor
```

Publish config:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-doctor-config
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Run a full scan:

```
php artisan doctor
```

Common options:

```
php artisan doctor -v
php artisan doctor --score
php artisan doctor --format=json
php artisan doctor --diff
php artisan doctor --diff=main
php artisan doctor --min-score=75
```

Trace scanned files:

```
php artisan doctor -v      # first 60 scanned files
php artisan doctor -vv     # all scanned files
```

Progress and banner output use Laravel's console UI components by default. Disable progress indicators with:

```
php artisan doctor --no-progress
```

Auto-Fix
--------

[](#auto-fix)

Apply safe built-in automated fixes:

```
php artisan doctor:fix
```

Preview changes only:

```
php artisan doctor:fix --dry-run
```

Apply only for changed files:

```
php artisan doctor:fix --diff
```

Run an optional Rector pass after built-in fixers (when `vendor/bin/rector` exists):

```
php artisan doctor:fix --with-rector
```

When diagnostics cannot be fixed programmatically, Laravel Doctor generates `.laravel-doctor/manual-fix-plan.md` with:

- A ready-to-paste prompt for your coding agent
- A rule-by-rule checklist with file and line references

Current Rule Set (MVP)
----------------------

[](#current-rule-set-mvp)

- `laravel/no-debug-statements`
- `laravel/no-env-outside-config`
- `laravel/no-mass-assignment-bypass`
- `laravel/controller-missing-validation`
- `laravel/no-broad-catch`
- `laravel/likely-n-plus-one`
- `laravel/fat-controller`
- `laravel/deep-nesting`

Scoring
-------

[](#scoring)

- Starts at `100`
- Applies weighted penalties by severity and category
- Caps per-rule penalty to avoid one repeated issue collapsing score
- Labels:
    - `80+`: Great
    - `55-79`: Needs work
    - `0-54`: Critical

CI Example
----------

[](#ci-example)

```
php artisan doctor --format=json --min-score=75
```

The command exits non-zero when score is below `--min-score`.

Skill
-----

[](#skill)

This repository includes an Agent Skill at `skills/laravel-doctor/SKILL.md` for AI agents to run Laravel Doctor and remediate findings in priority order.
