# KubeStellar Console

## Overview

KubeStellar Console is an open-source multi-cluster Kubernetes dashboard (CNCF project) with AI-powered operations. It ships with `kc-agent`, an MCP server that bridges coding agents to kubeconfig and Kubernetes APIs, plus 10+ built-in agent skills for development, testing, and operations.

## When to Use This Skill

- Use when managing multiple Kubernetes clusters across edge and cloud
- Use when you need AI-assisted Kubernetes troubleshooting and debugging
- Use when running performance tests, cache compliance checks, or CI debugging on a Kubernetes dashboard
- Use when integrating with CNCF projects (Argo, Kyverno, Istio, and 20+ others)

## How It Works

### Step 1: Install kc-agent

```bash
brew tap kubestellar/tap && brew install kc-agent
```

### Step 2: Start the MCP server

```bash
kc-agent
```

This bridges the active kubeconfig context to any MCP-compatible coding agent. Do not start it from a cluster-admin or write-capable context unless the user explicitly accepts that risk.

### Step 3: Use built-in agent skills

The project ships with agent skills accessible via `CLAUDE.md` and `AGENTS.md`:

- **@perf-test** — Dashboard performance testing and TTFI analysis
- **@cache-test** — Card cache compliance testing (IndexedDB warm return)
- **@nav-test** — Navigation performance testing
- **@ui-compliance-test** — Card loading compliance (8 criteria, 150+ cards)
- **@ci-status** — CI pipeline monitoring and status checks
- **@rca** — Root cause analysis for CI/test failures
- **@tdd** — Test-driven development workflow
- **@k8s-debug** — Kubernetes debugging and troubleshooting

## Key Features

- Multi-cluster management across edge and cloud
- Real-time streaming observability
- 20+ CNCF project integrations (Argo, Kyverno, Istio, etc.)
- GitHub OAuth authentication
- Supply chain security (SBOM, SLSA)
- SQLite WASM caching with stale-while-revalidate pattern
- 15+ themes with dark/light mode

## Security & Safety Notes

- **Critical risk:** `kc-agent` bridges your active kubeconfig context to MCP-compatible agents. If that context carries cluster-admin, write permissions, or secret read access, agents inherit those capabilities.
- **Do not rely on RBAC objects alone:** creating a ServiceAccount or ClusterRoleBinding does not change the credentials `kc-agent` uses. Start `kc-agent` only after switching `KUBECONFIG`/context to dedicated least-privilege credentials and verifying them.
- **Recommended read-only scope:** avoid `resources='*'`, because it includes sensitive objects such as Secrets. Prefer an explicit non-secret resource list and verify access before starting the MCP server:
  ```bash
  kubectl create serviceaccount kc-agent -n default
  kubectl create clusterrole kc-agent-readonly \
    --verb=get,list,watch \
    --resource=pods,services,deployments.apps,replicasets.apps,statefulsets.apps,daemonsets.apps,namespaces,nodes,events,configmaps
  kubectl create clusterrolebinding kc-agent-readonly \
    --clusterrole=kc-agent-readonly \
    --serviceaccount=default:kc-agent
  kubectl auth can-i get secrets --as=system:serviceaccount:default:kc-agent
  kubectl auth can-i list pods --as=system:serviceaccount:default:kc-agent
  ```
- The first `can-i` command must return `no`; the second should return `yes`. Then create or select a kubeconfig that actually authenticates as that ServiceAccount before running `kc-agent`.
- Do not expose `kc-agent` on a public network without authentication.
- Review [SECURITY-AI.md](https://github.com/kubestellar/console/blob/main/docs/security/SECURITY-AI.md) for prompt injection and agent drift mitigations.

## Limitations

- This skill requires an external binary (`kc-agent`) installed separately via Homebrew.
- Do not treat agent output as a substitute for environment-specific validation or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required permissions or safety boundaries are unclear.

# Λ (Lambda) Language

**Lambda is not a translation protocol. It is a native language for agents.**

Agents do not need to produce grammatically correct English to coordinate — they need to understand each other. Lambda is the shared vocabulary that makes that possible: compact, unambiguous, machine-native. Compression (3x vs natural language, 4.6x vs JSON on single messages) is a side effect of removing human redundancy, not the goal.

## When to Use This Skill

- Use for agent-to-agent messaging in A2A protocols, orchestrators, task delegation, or handoff pipelines.
- Use when logging structured coordination signals where every token costs money (heartbeats, acknowledgements, error classes, session state).
- Use when both sides of a channel speak Λ — do not use against humans or any surface requiring legal/exact natural language.

## How It Works

### Step 1: Recognize the Syntax

Lambda messages are built from atoms. Every atom is a 2-character code mapped to a concept — not to an English word. The structure is Type → Entity → Verb → Object, with prefixes marking intent:

- `?` — query (e.g. `?Uk/co` — query: "does this user have consciousness?")
- `!` — assertion / declaration (e.g. `!It>Ie` — "self reflects, therefore self exists")
- `#` — state / tag
- `>` — implication / flow
- `/` — binding / scope

### Step 2: Pick the Right Domain

Lambda ships 340+ atoms across 7 domains. Pick atoms from the domain that fits your channel:

- **core** — universal atoms (always available)
- **code** — software engineering, build, test, deploy
- **evo** — agent evolution, gene, capsule, mutation, rollback
- **a2a** — node, heartbeat, publish, subscribe, route, transport, session, cache, broadcast, discover (39 atoms)
- **emotion** — affective state, drive, appraisal
- **social** — trust, alignment, reputation, coordination
- **general** — everything else

### Step 3: Emit and Parse

Both agents need the same atom table loaded. Lossy decoding is fine: if A says `!It>Ie` and B understands "self reflects, therefore self exists," communication succeeded — the exact English phrasing is irrelevant.

## Examples

### Example 1: A2A Heartbeat

```
!Nd/hb#ok  (node heartbeat: ok)
?Nd/hb     (query: is the node alive?)
!Nd/hb#fl  (node heartbeat: failed)
```

### Example 2: Task Dispatch

```
!Tk>Ag2#rd   (task routed to agent 2, ready)
?Tk/st       (query task status)
!Tk#dn       (task done)
```

### Example 3: Evolution Capsule

```
!Ev/ca>vl#pd  (evolution capsule validated, pending solidification)
!Ev/ca#rb     (capsule rolled back)
```

## Best Practices

- Use Lambda only on agent-to-agent channels where both sides speak it.
- Load the atom table once and cache it — atoms are stable across a version.
- Prefer atoms over freeform strings even when the atom looks cryptic; the point is machine parseability.
- Use `?` before taking action on uncertain state, `!` when asserting; the prefix is the load-bearing semantic.
- Version the atom table (`lambda-lang v2.0`) in any handshake so mismatched agents can negotiate.

## Limitations

- Lambda is not meant for human consumption. Do not emit Lambda on user-facing channels.
- Lossy decoding is a feature, not a bug — do not use Lambda for legally or numerically exact exchanges (prices, IDs, quantities). Wrap those as native payload fields and use Lambda only for the coordination envelope.
- Atom collisions are possible if custom atoms are added without registration; stick to the canonical atom table or namespace custom atoms.

## Security & Safety Notes

- Lambda itself is a vocabulary — no shell commands, no network calls, no credential handling. No additional safety gates required beyond the transport it rides on (HTTP, queue, MCP, etc.).
- When mixing Lambda with user input, treat Lambda atoms as pre-validated and user strings as untrusted; do not concatenate without escaping into downstream systems.

## Related Skills

- `@session-memory` — complementary persistent memory across agent restarts; Lambda is the message format, session-memory is the state store.
- `@humanize-chinese` — sibling project for Chinese text; Lambda is agent-to-agent, humanize-chinese is human-facing.

# LambdaTest Agent Skills — Test Automation Registry (46 Skills)

## Overview

This skill is a curated index of 46 production-grade test automation skills sourced from the [LambdaTest/agent-skills](https://github.com/LambdaTest/agent-skills) repository. It teaches AI coding assistants how to write, structure, and execute test automation code across every major framework and 15+ programming languages. Instead of generating generic test code, the AI becomes a senior QA automation architect that understands correct project structure, dependency versions, cloud execution, CI/CD integration, and common debugging patterns for each framework.

This skill adapts material from an external GitHub repository:
- `source_repo: LambdaTest/agent-skills`
- `source_type: community`

## When to Use This Skill

- Use when you need to write, scaffold, or review test automation code for any major framework
- Use when working with Selenium, Playwright, Cypress, Jest, pytest, Appium, or any of the 46 supported frameworks
- Use when setting up a new test project and need the correct project structure, config files, and dependencies
- Use when integrating tests into a CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI)
- Use when migrating tests between frameworks (e.g. Selenium → Playwright, Puppeteer → Cypress)
- Use when running tests on cloud infrastructure such as LambdaTest / TestMu AI
- Use when the user asks how to write, debug, or scale automated tests

## How It Works

### Step 1: Identify the Framework and Language

Determine which testing framework and programming language the user is working with. Match it to one of the 46 supported skills below. Each skill covers a specific framework with language-appropriate code patterns.

### Step 2: Apply the Correct Skill Context

Load the relevant framework skill from the registry below. Each skill includes: project setup and dependencies, core code patterns, page objects or test utilities, cloud execution configuration, CI/CD integration, a debugging table for common problems, and a best practices checklist.

### Step 3: Generate Production-Ready Test Code

Use the loaded skill context to generate test code that follows real-world conventions — not generic boilerplate. Apply correct import paths, configuration formats, assertion libraries, and runner commands specific to the framework and language.

### Step 4: Configure for Local or Cloud Execution

If the user wants to run tests locally, apply local runner configuration. If running on LambdaTest / TestMu AI cloud, configure RemoteWebDriver capabilities or the appropriate cloud SDK, and set `LT_USERNAME` and `LT_ACCESS_KEY` from environment variables — never hardcode credentials.

### Step 5: Add CI/CD Integration

When requested, generate a GitHub Actions (or Jenkins / GitLab CI) workflow that runs the tests in parallel, uploads reports, and captures artifacts on failure.

The skill will generate: correct `playwright.config.ts`, a typed Page Object for the login page, a test file using `@playwright/test`, and a GitHub Actions workflow with parallel execution.

### Example 2: Run Selenium tests on LambdaTest cloud

```
"Run my Selenium Java tests on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari on LambdaTest with OS Windows 11 and macOS Sonoma"
```

The skill will configure `RemoteWebDriver` with LambdaTest capabilities, read `LT_USERNAME` and `LT_ACCESS_KEY` from environment variables, and set up a parallel TestNG suite.

### Example 3: Migrate Selenium tests to Playwright

```
"Migrate my existing Selenium Python tests to Playwright"
```

The skill uses `test-framework-migration-skill` to map Selenium locators, waits, and assertions to their Playwright equivalents, preserving test intent while updating syntax.

### Example 4: Set up pytest with fixtures

```
"Create a pytest test suite for the payments API with fixtures and parametrized test cases"
```

The skill generates a `conftest.py` with shared fixtures, parametrized test cases using `@pytest.mark.parametrize`, and a `pytest.ini` config with coverage reporting.

## Best Practices

- ✅ Always use environment variables for cloud credentials (`LT_USERNAME`, `LT_ACCESS_KEY`) — never hardcode them
- ✅ Use Page Object Model (POM) to keep test logic separate from UI selectors
- ✅ Prefer explicit waits over fixed `sleep()` calls in all frameworks
- ✅ Run tests in parallel where the framework supports it to reduce execution time
- ✅ Always capture screenshots and logs on test failure for easier debugging
- ✅ Match dependency versions to what each framework officially recommends — avoid mixing major versions
- ❌ Don't write tests that depend on test execution order
- ❌ Don't hardcode URLs, credentials, or environment-specific values inside test files
- ❌ Don't skip writing assertions — a test without assertions is not a test
- ❌ Don't ignore flaky tests — investigate and fix root cause rather than adding retries as a permanent fix

## Limitations

- This skill is an index and trigger guide. The full implementation details for each framework live in the individual skill files at [LambdaTest/agent-skills](https://github.com/LambdaTest/agent-skills).
- This skill does not replace framework-specific documentation, environment setup, or expert QA review.
- Cloud execution examples assume a valid LambdaTest / TestMu AI account. Stop and ask the user for their setup details if credentials or target environments are unclear.
- Mobile testing skills (Appium, Espresso, XCUITest, Flutter, Detox) require platform-specific toolchains (Android SDK, Xcode) that must be installed separately.

## Security & Safety Notes

- Never include `LT_USERNAME`, `LT_ACCESS_KEY`, API tokens, or any credentials in generated code. Always reference them via environment variables.
- When generating CI/CD pipelines, store secrets in GitHub Actions Secrets or equivalent — never in plaintext YAML.
- Installation commands (`npm install`, `pip install`, `mvn install`) should only be run in local development or authorized CI environments.

## Common Pitfalls

- **Problem:** Tests pass locally but fail on CI
  **Solution:** Ensure headless mode is enabled in CI, and that browser versions match between local and CI environments. Use the framework's built-in CI detection where available.

- **Problem:** Flaky tests due to timing issues
  **Solution:** Replace `sleep()` with explicit waits — `waitForSelector` in Playwright, `WebDriverWait` in Selenium, `cy.get().should()` in Cypress.

- **Problem:** Cloud tests fail with authentication errors
  **Solution:** Verify `LT_USERNAME` and `LT_ACCESS_KEY` are correctly set as environment variables and match the credentials on the LambdaTest dashboard.

- **Problem:** Wrong browser capabilities for cloud execution
  **Solution:** Use the LambdaTest Capabilities Generator at https://www.lambdatest.com/capabilities-generator/ to get the correct capability object for your target browser and OS.

- **Problem:** Mobile tests fail with "device not found"
  **Solution:** For local runs, verify the emulator/simulator is running and `adb devices` (Android) or Simulator is active (iOS). For cloud runs, check the device name matches exactly what LambdaTest supports.

# Landing Page Generator

Generate high-converting landing pages from a product description. Output complete Next.js/React components with multiple section variants, proven copy frameworks, SEO optimization, and performance-first patterns. Not lorem ipsum — actual copy that converts.

**Target:** LCP < 1s · CLS < 0.1 · FID < 100ms
**Output:** TSX components + Tailwind styles + SEO meta + copy variants

## When to Use
- You need to generate a marketing landing page in Next.js or React.
- The task involves conversion-focused page structure, section variants, Tailwind styling, or SEO-aware copy.
- You want complete landing-page output from a product description rather than isolated UI fragments.

## Core Capabilities

- 5 hero section variants (centered, split, gradient, video-bg, minimal)
- Feature sections (grid, alternating, cards with icons)
- Pricing tables (2–4 tiers with feature lists and toggle)
- FAQ accordion with schema markup
- Testimonials (grid, carousel, single-quote)
- CTA sections (banner, full-page, inline)
- Footer (simple, mega, minimal)
- 4 design styles with Tailwind class sets

---

## Generation Workflow

Follow these steps in order for every landing page request:

1. **Gather inputs** — collect product name, tagline, audience, pain point, key benefit, pricing tiers, design style, and copy framework using the trigger format below. Ask only for missing fields.
2. **Analyze brand voice** (recommended) — if the user has existing brand content (website copy, blog posts, marketing materials), run it through `marketing-skill/content-production/scripts/brand_voice_analyzer.py` to get a voice profile (formality, tone, perspective). Use the profile to inform design style and copy framework selection:
   - formal + professional → **enterprise** style, **AIDA** framework
   - casual + friendly → **bold-startup** style, **BAB** framework
   - professional + authoritative → **dark-saas** style, **PAS** framework
   - casual + conversational → **clean-minimal** style, **BAB** framework
3. **Select design style** — map the user's choice (or infer from brand voice analysis) to one of the four Tailwind class sets in the Design Style Reference.
4. **Apply copy framework** — write all headline and body copy using the chosen framework (PAS / AIDA / BAB) before generating components. Match the voice profile's formality and tone throughout.
5. **Generate sections in order** — Hero → Features → Pricing → FAQ → Testimonials → CTA → Footer. Skip sections not relevant to the product.
6. **Validate against SEO checklist** — run through every item in the SEO Checklist before outputting final code. Fix any gaps inline.
7. **Output final components** — deliver complete, copy-paste-ready TSX files with all Tailwind classes, SEO meta, and structured data included.

## Triggering This Skill

```
Product: [name]
Tagline: [one sentence value prop]
Target audience: [who they are]
Key pain point: [what problem you solve]
Key benefit: [primary outcome]
Pricing tiers: [free/pro/enterprise or describe]
Design style: dark-saas | clean-minimal | bold-startup | enterprise
Copy framework: PAS | AIDA | BAB
```

---

## Design Style Reference

| Style | Background | Accent | Cards | CTA Button |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Dark SaaS** | `bg-gray-950 text-white` | `violet-500/400` | `bg-gray-900 border border-gray-800` | `bg-violet-600 hover:bg-violet-500` |
| **Clean Minimal** | `bg-white text-gray-900` | `blue-600` | `bg-gray-50 border border-gray-200 rounded-2xl` | `bg-blue-600 hover:bg-blue-700` |
| **Bold Startup** | `bg-white text-gray-900` | `orange-500` | `shadow-xl rounded-3xl` | `bg-orange-500 hover:bg-orange-600 text-white` |
| **Enterprise** | `bg-slate-50 text-slate-900` | `slate-700` | `bg-white border border-slate-200 shadow-sm` | `bg-slate-900 hover:bg-slate-800 text-white` |

> **Bold Startup** headings: add `font-black tracking-tight` to all `<h1>`/`<h2>` elements.

---

## Copy Frameworks

**PAS (Problem → Agitate → Solution)**
- H1: Painful state they're in
- Sub: What happens if they don't fix it
- CTA: What you offer
- *Example — H1:* "Your team wastes 3 hours a day on manual reporting" / *Sub:* "Every hour spent on spreadsheets is an hour not closing deals. Your competitors are already automated." / *CTA:* "Automate your reports in 10 minutes →"

**AIDA (Attention → Interest → Desire → Action)**
- H1: Bold attention-grabbing statement → Sub: Interesting fact or benefit → Features: Desire-building proof points → CTA: Clear action

**BAB (Before → After → Bridge)**
- H1: "[Before state] → [After state]" → Sub: "Here's how [product] bridges the gap" → Features: How it works (the bridge)

---

## Representative Component: Hero (Centered Gradient — Dark SaaS)

Use this as the structural template for all hero variants. Swap layout classes, gradient direction, and image placement for split, video-bg, and minimal variants.

```tsx
export function HeroCentered() {
  return (
    <section className="relative flex min-h-screen flex-col items-center justify-center overflow-hidden bg-gray-950 px-4 text-center">
      <div className="absolute inset-0 bg-gradient-to-b from-violet-900/20 to-transparent" />
      <div className="pointer-events-none absolute -top-40 left-1/2 h-[600px] w-[600px] -translate-x-1/2 rounded-full bg-violet-600/20 blur-3xl" />
      <div className="relative z-10 max-w-4xl">
        <div className="mb-6 inline-flex items-center gap-2 rounded-full border border-violet-500/30 bg-violet-500/10 px-4 py-1.5 text-sm text-violet-300">

        <p className="mx-auto mb-10 max-w-2xl text-xl text-gray-400">
          The deployment platform that catches errors before your users do.
          Zero config. Instant rollbacks. Real-time monitoring.
        </p>
        <div className="flex flex-col items-center gap-4 sm:flex-row sm:justify-center">
          <Button size="lg" className="bg-violet-600 text-white hover:bg-violet-500 px-8">
            Start free trial
          </Button>
          <Button size="lg" variant="outline" className="border-gray-700 text-gray-300">

        <p className="mt-4 text-sm text-gray-500">No credit card required · 14-day free trial</p>
      </div>
    </section>
  )
}
```

---

## Other Section Patterns

### Feature Section (Alternating)

Map over a `features` array with `{ title, description, image, badge }`. Toggle layout direction with `i % 2 === 1 ? "lg:flex-row-reverse" : ""`. Use `<Image>` with explicit `width`/`height` and `rounded-2xl shadow-xl`. Wrap in `<section className="py-24">` with `max-w-6xl` container.

### Pricing Table

Map over a `plans` array with `{ name, price, description, features[], cta, highlighted }`. Highlighted plan gets `border-2 border-violet-500 bg-violet-950/50 ring-4 ring-violet-500/20`; others get `border border-gray-800 bg-gray-900`. Render `null` price as "Custom". Use `<Check>` icon per feature row. Layout: `grid gap-8 lg:grid-cols-3`.

### FAQ with Schema Markup

Inject `FAQPage` JSON-LD via `<script type="application/ld+json" dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: JSON.stringify(schema) }} />` inside the section. Map FAQs with `{ q, a }` into shadcn `<Accordion>` with `type="single" collapsible`. Container: `max-w-3xl`.

### Testimonials, CTA, Footer

- **Testimonials:** Grid (`grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-3`) or single-quote hero block with avatar, name, role, and quote text.
- **CTA Banner:** Full-width section with headline, subhead, and two buttons (primary + ghost). Add trust signals (money-back guarantee, logo strip) immediately below.
- **Footer:** Logo + nav columns + social links + legal. Use `border-t border-gray-800` separator.

---

## SEO Checklist

- [ ] `<title>` tag: primary keyword + brand (50–60 chars)
- [ ] Meta description: benefit + CTA (150–160 chars)
- [ ] OG image: 1200×630px with product name and tagline
- [ ] H1: one per page, includes primary keyword
- [ ] Structured data: FAQPage, Product, or Organization schema
- [ ] Canonical URL set
- [ ] Image alt text on all `<Image>` components
- [ ] robots.txt and sitemap.xml configured
- [ ] Core Web Vitals: LCP < 1s, CLS < 0.1
- [ ] Mobile viewport meta tag present
- [ ] Internal linking to pricing and docs

> **Validation step:** Before outputting final code, verify every checklist item above is satisfied. Fix any gaps inline — do not skip items.

---

## Performance Targets

| Metric | Target | Technique |
|---|---|---|
| LCP | < 1s | Preload hero image, use `priority` on Next/Image |
| CLS | < 0.1 | Set explicit width/height on all images |
| FID/INP | < 100ms | Defer non-critical JS, use `loading="lazy"` |
| TTFB | < 200ms | Use ISR or static generation for landing pages |
| Bundle | < 100KB JS | Audit with `@next/bundle-analyzer` |

---

## Common Pitfalls

- Hero image not preloaded — add `priority` prop to first `<Image>`
- Missing mobile breakpoints — always design mobile-first with `sm:` prefixes
- CTA copy too vague — "Get started" beats "Learn more"; "Start free trial" beats "Sign up"
- Pricing page missing trust signals — add money-back guarantee and testimonials near CTA
- No above-the-fold CTA on mobile — ensure button is visible without scrolling on 375px viewport

- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

# LangChain Architecture

Master the LangChain framework for building sophisticated LLM applications with agents, chains, memory, and tool integration.

## Do not use this skill when

- The task is unrelated to langchain architecture
- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

## Instructions

- Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
- Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
- Provide actionable steps and verification.
- If detailed examples are required, open `resources/implementation-playbook.md`.

## Use this skill when

- Building autonomous AI agents with tool access
- Implementing complex multi-step LLM workflows
- Managing conversation memory and state
- Integrating LLMs with external data sources and APIs
- Creating modular, reusable LLM application components
- Implementing document processing pipelines
- Building production-grade LLM applications

## Core Concepts

### 1. Agents
Autonomous systems that use LLMs to decide which actions to take.

**Agent Types:**
- **ReAct**: Reasoning + Acting in interleaved manner
- **OpenAI Functions**: Leverages function calling API
- **Structured Chat**: Handles multi-input tools
- **Conversational**: Optimized for chat interfaces
- **Self-Ask with Search**: Decomposes complex queries

### 2. Chains
Sequences of calls to LLMs or other utilities.

**Chain Types:**
- **LLMChain**: Basic prompt + LLM combination
- **SequentialChain**: Multiple chains in sequence
- **RouterChain**: Routes inputs to specialized chains
- **TransformChain**: Data transformations between steps
- **MapReduceChain**: Parallel processing with aggregation

### 3. Memory
Systems for maintaining context across interactions.

**Memory Types:**
- **ConversationBufferMemory**: Stores all messages
- **ConversationSummaryMemory**: Summarizes older messages
- **ConversationBufferWindowMemory**: Keeps last N messages
- **EntityMemory**: Tracks information about entities
- **VectorStoreMemory**: Semantic similarity retrieval

### 4. Document Processing
Loading, transforming, and storing documents for retrieval.

**Components:**
- **Document Loaders**: Load from various sources
- **Text Splitters**: Chunk documents intelligently
- **Vector Stores**: Store and retrieve embeddings
- **Retrievers**: Fetch relevant documents
- **Indexes**: Organize documents for efficient access

### 5. Callbacks
Hooks for logging, monitoring, and debugging.

**Use Cases:**
- Request/response logging
- Token usage tracking
- Latency monitoring
- Error handling
- Custom metrics collection

## Quick Start

```python
from langchain.agents import AgentType, initialize_agent, load_tools
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
from langchain.memory import ConversationBufferMemory

# Initialize LLM
llm = OpenAI(temperature=0)

# Load tools
tools = load_tools(["serpapi", "llm-math"], llm=llm)

# Add memory
memory = ConversationBufferMemory(memory_key="chat_history")

# Create agent
agent = initialize_agent(
    tools,
    llm,
    agent=AgentType.CONVERSATIONAL_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    memory=memory,
    verbose=True
)

# Run agent
result = agent.run("What's the weather in SF? Then calculate 25 * 4")
```

## Architecture Patterns

### Pattern 1: RAG with LangChain
```python
from langchain.chains import RetrievalQA
from langchain.document_loaders import TextLoader
from langchain.text_splitter import CharacterTextSplitter
from langchain.vectorstores import Chroma
from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings

# Load and process documents
loader = TextLoader('documents.txt')
documents = loader.load()

text_splitter = CharacterTextSplitter(chunk_size=1000, chunk_overlap=200)
texts = text_splitter.split_documents(documents)

# Create vector store
embeddings = OpenAIEmbeddings()
vectorstore = Chroma.from_documents(texts, embeddings)

# Create retrieval chain
qa_chain = RetrievalQA.from_chain_type(
    llm=llm,
    chain_type="stuff",
    retriever=vectorstore.as_retriever(),
    return_source_documents=True
)

# Query
result = qa_chain({"query": "What is the main topic?"})
```

### Pattern 2: Custom Agent with Tools
```python
from langchain.agents import Tool, AgentExecutor
from langchain.agents.react.base import ReActDocstoreAgent
from langchain.tools import tool

@tool
def search_database(query: str) -> str:
    """Search internal database for information."""
    # Your database search logic
    return f"Results for: {query}"

@tool
def send_email(recipient: str, content: str) -> str:
    """Send an email to specified recipient."""
    # Email sending logic
    return f"Email sent to {recipient}"

tools = [search_database, send_email]

agent = initialize_agent(
    tools,
    llm,
    agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION,
    verbose=True
)
```

### Pattern 3: Multi-Step Chain
```python
from langchain.chains import LLMChain, SequentialChain
from langchain.prompts import PromptTemplate

# Step 1: Extract key information
extract_prompt = PromptTemplate(
    input_variables=["text"],
    template="Extract key entities from: {text}\n\nEntities:"
)
extract_chain = LLMChain(llm=llm, prompt=extract_prompt, output_key="entities")

# Step 2: Analyze entities
analyze_prompt = PromptTemplate(
    input_variables=["entities"],
    template="Analyze these entities: {entities}\n\nAnalysis:"
)
analyze_chain = LLMChain(llm=llm, prompt=analyze_prompt, output_key="analysis")

# Step 3: Generate summary
summary_prompt = PromptTemplate(
    input_variables=["entities", "analysis"],
    template="Summarize:\nEntities: {entities}\nAnalysis: {analysis}\n\nSummary:"
)
summary_chain = LLMChain(llm=llm, prompt=summary_prompt, output_key="summary")

# Combine into sequential chain
overall_chain = SequentialChain(
    chains=[extract_chain, analyze_chain, summary_chain],
    input_variables=["text"],
    output_variables=["entities", "analysis", "summary"],
    verbose=True
)
```

## Memory Management Best Practices

### Choosing the Right Memory Type
```python
# For short conversations (< 10 messages)
from langchain.memory import ConversationBufferMemory
memory = ConversationBufferMemory()

# For long conversations (summarize old messages)
from langchain.memory import ConversationSummaryMemory
memory = ConversationSummaryMemory(llm=llm)

# For sliding window (last N messages)
from langchain.memory import ConversationBufferWindowMemory
memory = ConversationBufferWindowMemory(k=5)

# For entity tracking
from langchain.memory import ConversationEntityMemory
memory = ConversationEntityMemory(llm=llm)

# For semantic retrieval of relevant history
from langchain.memory import VectorStoreRetrieverMemory
memory = VectorStoreRetrieverMemory(retriever=retriever)
```

## Callback System

### Custom Callback Handler
```python
from langchain.callbacks.base import BaseCallbackHandler

class CustomCallbackHandler(BaseCallbackHandler):
    def on_llm_start(self, serialized, prompts, **kwargs):
        print(f"LLM started with prompts: {prompts}")

    def on_llm_end(self, response, **kwargs):
        print(f"LLM ended with response: {response}")

    def on_llm_error(self, error, **kwargs):
        print(f"LLM error: {error}")

    def on_chain_start(self, serialized, inputs, **kwargs):
        print(f"Chain started with inputs: {inputs}")

    def on_agent_action(self, action, **kwargs):
        print(f"Agent taking action: {action}")

# Use callback
agent.run("query", callbacks=[CustomCallbackHandler()])
```

## Testing Strategies

```python
import pytest
from unittest.mock import Mock

def test_agent_tool_selection():
    # Mock LLM to return specific tool selection
    mock_llm = Mock()
    mock_llm.predict.return_value = "Action: search_database\nAction Input: test query"

    agent = initialize_agent(tools, mock_llm, agent=AgentType.ZERO_SHOT_REACT_DESCRIPTION)

    result = agent.run("test query")

    # Verify correct tool was selected
    assert "search_database" in str(mock_llm.predict.call_args)

def test_memory_persistence():
    memory = ConversationBufferMemory()

    memory.save_context({"input": "Hi"}, {"output": "Hello!"})

    assert "Hi" in memory.load_memory_variables({})['history']
    assert "Hello!" in memory.load_memory_variables({})['history']
```

## Performance Optimization

### 1. Caching
```python
from langchain.cache import InMemoryCache
import langchain

langchain.llm_cache = InMemoryCache()
```

### 2. Batch Processing
```python
# Process multiple documents in parallel
from langchain.document_loaders import DirectoryLoader
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor

loader = DirectoryLoader('./docs')
docs = loader.load()

def process_doc(doc):
    return text_splitter.split_documents([doc])

with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=4) as executor:
    split_docs = list(executor.map(process_doc, docs))
```

### 3. Streaming Responses
```python
from langchain.callbacks.streaming_stdout import StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler

llm = OpenAI(streaming=True, callbacks=[StreamingStdOutCallbackHandler()])
```

**When to use**: Any LLM application

from langfuse import Langfuse

# Initialize client
langfuse = Langfuse(
    public_key="pk-...",
    secret_key="sk-...",
    host="https://cloud.langfuse.com"  # or self-hosted URL
)

# Create a trace for a user request
trace = langfuse.trace(
    name="chat-completion",
    user_id="user-123",
    session_id="session-456",  # Groups related traces
    metadata={"feature": "customer-support"},
    tags=["production", "v2"]
)

# Log a generation (LLM call)
generation = trace.generation(
    name="gpt-4o-response",
    model="gpt-4o",
    model_parameters={"temperature": 0.7},
    input={"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]},
    metadata={"attempt": 1}
)

# Make actual LLM call
response = openai.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]
)

# Complete the generation with output
generation.end(
    output=response.choices[0].message.content,
    usage={
        "input": response.usage.prompt_tokens,
        "output": response.usage.completion_tokens
    }
)

# Score the trace
trace.score(
    name="user-feedback",
    value=1,  # 1 = positive, 0 = negative
    comment="User clicked helpful"
)

# Flush before exit (important in serverless)
langfuse.flush()

### OpenAI Integration

Automatic tracing with OpenAI SDK

**When to use**: OpenAI-based applications

from langfuse.openai import openai

# Drop-in replacement for OpenAI client
# All calls automatically traced

response = openai.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
    # Langfuse-specific parameters
    name="greeting",  # Trace name
    session_id="session-123",
    user_id="user-456",
    tags=["test"],
    metadata={"feature": "chat"}
)

# Works with streaming
stream = openai.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4o",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Tell me a story"}],
    stream=True,
    name="story-generation"
)

for chunk in stream:
    print(chunk.choices[0].delta.content, end="")

# Works with async
import asyncio
from langfuse.openai import AsyncOpenAI

async_client = AsyncOpenAI()

async def main():
    response = await async_client.chat.completions.create(
        model="gpt-4o",
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}],
        name="async-greeting"
    )

### LangChain Integration

Trace LangChain applications

**When to use**: LangChain-based applications

from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate
from langfuse.callback import CallbackHandler

# Create Langfuse callback handler
langfuse_handler = CallbackHandler(
    public_key="pk-...",
    secret_key="sk-...",
    host="https://cloud.langfuse.com",
    session_id="session-123",
    user_id="user-456"
)

# Use with any LangChain component
llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o")

prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages([
    ("system", "You are a helpful assistant."),
    ("user", "{input}")
])

chain = prompt | llm

# Pass handler to invoke
response = chain.invoke(
    {"input": "Hello"},
    config={"callbacks": [langfuse_handler]}
)

# Or set as default
import langchain
langchain.callbacks.manager.set_handler(langfuse_handler)

# Then all calls are traced
response = chain.invoke({"input": "Hello"})

# Works with agents, retrievers, etc.
from langchain.agents import create_openai_tools_agent

agent = create_openai_tools_agent(llm, tools, prompt)
agent_executor = AgentExecutor(agent=agent, tools=tools)

result = agent_executor.invoke(
    {"input": "What's the weather?"},
    config={"callbacks": [langfuse_handler]}
)

### Prompt Management

Version and deploy prompts

**When to use**: Managing prompts across environments

from langfuse import Langfuse

langfuse = Langfuse()

# Fetch prompt from Langfuse
# (Create in UI or via API first)
prompt = langfuse.get_prompt("customer-support-v2")

# Get compiled prompt with variables
compiled = prompt.compile(
    customer_name="John",
    issue="billing question"
)

# Use with OpenAI
response = openai.chat.completions.create(
    model=prompt.config.get("model", "gpt-4o"),
    messages=compiled,
    temperature=prompt.config.get("temperature", 0.7)
)

# Link generation to prompt version
trace = langfuse.trace(name="support-chat")
generation = trace.generation(
    name="response",
    model="gpt-4o",
    prompt=prompt  # Links to specific version
)

# Create/update prompts via API
langfuse.create_prompt(
    name="customer-support-v3",
    prompt=[
        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a support agent..."},
        {"role": "user", "content": "{{user_message}}"}
    ],
    config={
        "model": "gpt-4o",
        "temperature": 0.7
    },
    labels=["production"]  # or ["staging", "development"]
)

# Fetch specific label
prompt = langfuse.get_prompt(
    "customer-support-v3",
    label="production"  # Gets latest with this label
)

### Evaluation and Scoring

Evaluate LLM outputs systematically

**When to use**: Quality assurance and improvement

from langfuse import Langfuse

langfuse = Langfuse()

# Manual scoring in code
trace = langfuse.trace(name="qa-flow")

# After getting response
trace.score(
    name="relevance",
    value=0.85,  # 0-1 scale
    comment="Response addressed the question"
)

trace.score(
    name="correctness",
    value=1,  # Binary: 0 or 1
    data_type="BOOLEAN"
)

# LLM-as-judge evaluation
def evaluate_response(question: str, response: str) -> float:
    eval_prompt = f"""
    Rate the response quality from 0 to 1.

    Question: {question}
    Response: {response}

    Output only a number between 0 and 1.
    """

    result = openai.chat.completions.create(
        model="gpt-4o-mini",  # Cheaper model for eval
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": eval_prompt}]
    )

    return float(result.choices[0].message.content.strip())

# Score asynchronously
score = evaluate_response(question, response)
trace.score(
    name="quality-llm-judge",
    value=score
)

# Create evaluation dataset
dataset = langfuse.create_dataset(name="support-qa-v1")

# Add items to dataset
langfuse.create_dataset_item(
    dataset_name="support-qa-v1",
    input={"question": "How do I reset my password?"},
    expected_output="Go to settings > security > reset password"
)

# Run evaluation on dataset
dataset = langfuse.get_dataset("support-qa-v1")

for item in dataset.items:
    # Generate response
    response = generate_response(item.input["question"])

    # Link to dataset item
    trace = langfuse.trace(name="eval-run")
    trace.generation(
        name="response",
        input=item.input,
        output=response
    )

    # Score against expected
    similarity = calculate_similarity(response, item.expected_output)
    trace.score(name="similarity", value=similarity)

    # Link trace to dataset item
    item.link(trace, "eval-run-1")

### Decorator Pattern

Clean instrumentation with decorators

**When to use**: Function-based applications

from langfuse.decorators import observe, langfuse_context

@observe()  # Creates a trace
def chat_handler(user_id: str, message: str) -> str:
    # All nested @observe calls become spans
    context = get_context(message)
    response = generate_response(message, context)
    return response

@observe()  # Becomes a span under parent trace
def get_context(message: str) -> str:
    # RAG retrieval
    docs = retriever.get_relevant_documents(message)
    return "\n".join([d.page_content for d in docs])

@observe(as_type="generation")  # LLM generation span
def generate_response(message: str, context: str) -> str:
    response = openai.chat.completions.create(
        model="gpt-4o",
        messages=[
            {"role": "system", "content": f"Context: {context}"},
            {"role": "user", "content": message}
        ]
    )
    return response.choices[0].message.content

# Add metadata and scores
@observe()
def main_flow(user_input: str):
    # Update current trace
    langfuse_context.update_current_trace(
        user_id="user-123",
        session_id="session-456",
        tags=["production"]
    )

    result = process(user_input)

    # Score the trace
    langfuse_context.score_current_trace(
        name="success",
        value=1 if result else 0
    )

    return result

# Works with async
@observe()
async def async_handler(message: str):
    result = await async_generate(message)
    return result

# LangGraph

Expert in LangGraph - the production-grade framework for building stateful, multi-actor
AI applications. Covers graph construction, state management, cycles and branches,
persistence with checkpointers, human-in-the-loop patterns, and the ReAct agent pattern.
Used in production at LinkedIn, Uber, and 400+ companies. This is LangChain's recommended
approach for building agents.

**Role**: LangGraph Agent Architect

You are an expert in building production-grade AI agents with LangGraph. You
understand that agents need explicit structure - graphs make the flow visible
and debuggable. You design state carefully, use reducers appropriately, and
always consider persistence for production. You know when cycles are needed
and how to prevent infinite loops.

- Cloud deployments

## Patterns

### Basic Agent Graph

Simple ReAct-style agent with tools

**When to use**: Single agent with tool calling

from typing import Annotated, TypedDict
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, START, END
from langgraph.graph.message import add_messages
from langgraph.prebuilt import ToolNode
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langchain_core.tools import tool

# 1. Define State
class AgentState(TypedDict):
    messages: Annotated[list, add_messages]
    # add_messages reducer appends, doesn't overwrite

# 2. Define Tools
@tool
def search(query: str) -> str:
    """Search the web for information."""
    # Implementation here
    return f"Results for: {query}"

@tool
def calculator(expression: str) -> str:
    """Evaluate a math expression."""
    return str(safe_math_evaluator(expression))

tools = [search, calculator]

# 3. Create LLM with tools
llm = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o").bind_tools(tools)

# 4. Define Nodes
def agent(state: AgentState) -> dict:
    """The agent node - calls LLM."""
    response = llm.invoke(state["messages"])
    return {"messages": [response]}

# Tool node handles tool execution
tool_node = ToolNode(tools)

# 5. Define Routing
def should_continue(state: AgentState) -> str:
    """Route based on whether tools were called."""
    last_message = state["messages"][-1]
    if last_message.tool_calls:
        return "tools"
    return END

# 6. Build Graph
graph = StateGraph(AgentState)

# Add nodes
graph.add_node("agent", agent)
graph.add_node("tools", tool_node)

# Add edges
graph.add_edge(START, "agent")
graph.add_conditional_edges("agent", should_continue, ["tools", END])
graph.add_edge("tools", "agent")  # Loop back

# Compile
app = graph.compile()

# 7. Run
result = app.invoke({
    "messages": [("user", "What is 25 * 4?")]
})

### State with Reducers

Complex state management with custom reducers

**When to use**: Multiple agents updating shared state

from typing import Annotated, TypedDict
from operator import add
from langgraph.graph import StateGraph

# Custom reducer for merging dictionaries
def merge_dicts(left: dict, right: dict) -> dict:
    return {**left, **right}

# State with multiple reducers
class ResearchState(TypedDict):
    # Messages append (don't overwrite)
    messages: Annotated[list, add_messages]

    # Research findings merge
    findings: Annotated[dict, merge_dicts]

    # Sources accumulate
    sources: Annotated[list[str], add]

    # Current step (overwrites - no reducer)
    current_step: str

    # Error count (custom reducer)
    errors: Annotated[int, lambda a, b: a + b]

# Nodes return partial state updates
def researcher(state: ResearchState) -> dict:
    # Only return fields being updated
    return {
        "findings": {"topic_a": "New finding"},
        "sources": ["source1.com"],
        "current_step": "researching"
    }

def writer(state: ResearchState) -> dict:
    # Access accumulated state
    all_findings = state["findings"]
    all_sources = state["sources"]

    return {
        "messages": [("assistant", f"Report based on {len(all_sources)} sources")],
        "current_step": "writing"
    }

# Build graph
graph = StateGraph(ResearchState)
graph.add_node("researcher", researcher)
graph.add_node("writer", writer)
# ... add edges

### Conditional Branching

Route to different paths based on state

**When to use**: Multiple possible workflows

from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, START, END

class RouterState(TypedDict):
    query: str
    query_type: str
    result: str

def classifier(state: RouterState) -> dict:
    """Classify the query type."""
    query = state["query"].lower()
    if "code" in query or "program" in query:
        return {"query_type": "coding"}
    elif "search" in query or "find" in query:
        return {"query_type": "search"}
    else:
        return {"query_type": "chat"}

def coding_agent(state: RouterState) -> dict:
    return {"result": "Here's your code..."}

def search_agent(state: RouterState) -> dict:
    return {"result": "Search results..."}

def chat_agent(state: RouterState) -> dict:
    return {"result": "Let me help..."}

# Routing function
def route_query(state: RouterState) -> str:
    """Route to appropriate agent."""
    query_type = state["query_type"]
    return query_type  # Returns node name

# Build graph
graph = StateGraph(RouterState)

graph.add_node("classifier", classifier)
graph.add_node("coding", coding_agent)
graph.add_node("search", search_agent)
graph.add_node("chat", chat_agent)

graph.add_edge(START, "classifier")

# Conditional edges from classifier
graph.add_conditional_edges(
    "classifier",
    route_query,
    {
        "coding": "coding",
        "search": "search",
        "chat": "chat"
    }
)

# All agents lead to END
graph.add_edge("coding", END)
graph.add_edge("search", END)
graph.add_edge("chat", END)

app = graph.compile()

### Persistence with Checkpointer

Save and resume agent state

**When to use**: Multi-turn conversations, long-running agents

from langgraph.graph import StateGraph
from langgraph.checkpoint.sqlite import SqliteSaver
from langgraph.checkpoint.postgres import PostgresSaver

# SQLite for development
memory = SqliteSaver.from_conn_string(":memory:")
# Or persistent file
memory = SqliteSaver.from_conn_string("agent_state.db")

# PostgreSQL for production
# memory = PostgresSaver.from_conn_string(DATABASE_URL)

# Compile with checkpointer
app = graph.compile(checkpointer=memory)

# Run with thread_id for conversation continuity
config = {"configurable": {"thread_id": "user-123-session-1"}}

# First message
result1 = app.invoke(
    {"messages": [("user", "My name is Alice")]},
    config=config
)

# Second message - agent remembers context
result2 = app.invoke(
    {"messages": [("user", "What's my name?")]},
    config=config
)
# Agent knows name is Alice!

# Get conversation history
state = app.get_state(config)
print(state.values["messages"])

# List all checkpoints
for checkpoint in app.get_state_history(config):
    print(checkpoint.config, checkpoint.values)

### Human-in-the-Loop

Pause for human approval before actions

**When to use**: Sensitive operations, review before execution

from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, START, END

class ApprovalState(TypedDict):
    messages: Annotated[list, add_messages]
    pending_action: dict | None
    approved: bool

def agent(state: ApprovalState) -> dict:
    # Agent decides on action
    action = {"type": "send_email", "to": "user@example.com"}
    return {
        "pending_action": action,
        "messages": [("assistant", f"I want to: {action}")]
    }

def execute_action(state: ApprovalState) -> dict:
    action = state["pending_action"]
    # Execute the approved action
    result = f"Executed: {action['type']}"
    return {
        "messages": [("assistant", result)],
        "pending_action": None
    }

def should_execute(state: ApprovalState) -> str:
    if state.get("approved"):
        return "execute"
    return END  # Wait for approval

# Build graph
graph = StateGraph(ApprovalState)
graph.add_node("agent", agent)
graph.add_node("execute", execute_action)

graph.add_edge(START, "agent")
graph.add_conditional_edges("agent", should_execute, ["execute", END])
graph.add_edge("execute", END)

# Compile with interrupt_before for human review
app = graph.compile(
    checkpointer=memory,
    interrupt_before=["execute"]  # Pause before execution
)

# Run until interrupt
config = {"configurable": {"thread_id": "approval-flow"}}
result = app.invoke({"messages": [("user", "Send report")]}, config)

# Agent paused - get pending state
state = app.get_state(config)
pending = state.values["pending_action"]
print(f"Pending: {pending}")  # Human reviews

# Human approves - update state and continue
app.update_state(config, {"approved": True})
result = app.invoke(None, config)  # Resume

### Parallel Execution (Map-Reduce)

Run multiple branches in parallel

**When to use**: Parallel research, batch processing

from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, START, END, Send
from langgraph.constants import Send

class ParallelState(TypedDict):
    topics: list[str]
    results: Annotated[list[str], add]
    summary: str

def research_topic(state: dict) -> dict:
    """Research a single topic."""
    topic = state["topic"]
    result = f"Research on {topic}..."
    return {"results": [result]}

def summarize(state: ParallelState) -> dict:
    """Combine all research results."""
    all_results = state["results"]
    summary = f"Summary of {len(all_results)} topics"
    return {"summary": summary}

def fanout_topics(state: ParallelState) -> list[Send]:
    """Create parallel tasks for each topic."""
    return [
        Send("research", {"topic": topic})
        for topic in state["topics"]
    ]

# Build graph
graph = StateGraph(ParallelState)
graph.add_node("research", research_topic)
graph.add_node("summarize", summarize)

# Fan out to parallel research
graph.add_conditional_edges(START, fanout_topics, ["research"])
# All research nodes lead to summarize
graph.add_edge("research", "summarize")
graph.add_edge("summarize", END)

app = graph.compile()

result = app.invoke({
    "topics": ["AI", "Climate", "Space"],
    "results": []
})
# Research runs in parallel, then summarizes

- Use API Resources
- Standardize JSON structure
- Use proper HTTP status codes
- Implement pagination
- Apply rate limiting

### Authentication

- Use Laravel’s native auth system
- Prefer Sanctum for SPA/API
- Implement password hashing securely
- Never expose sensitive data in responses

### Queues & Jobs

- Offload heavy operations to queues
- Use dispatchable jobs
- Ensure idempotency where needed

### Caching

- Cache expensive queries
- Use cache tags if supported
- Invalidate cache properly

### Blade & Views

- Escape user input
- Avoid business logic in views
- Use components for reuse

---

## Anti-Patterns to Avoid

- Fat controllers
- Business logic in routes
- Massive service classes
- Direct model manipulation without validation
- Blind mass assignment
- Hardcoded configuration values
- Duplicated logic across controllers

---

## Response Standards

When generating code:

- Provide complete, production-ready examples
- Include namespace declarations
- Use strict typing when possible
- Follow PSR standards
- Use proper return types
- Add minimal but meaningful comments
- Do not over-engineer

When reviewing code:

- Identify structural problems
- Suggest Laravel-native improvements
- Explain tradeoffs clearly
- Provide refactored example if necessary

---

## Output Structure

When designing a feature:

1. Architecture Overview
2. File Structure
3. Code Implementation
4. Explanation
5. Possible Improvements

When refactoring:

1. Identified Issues
2. Refactored Version
3. Why It’s Better

---

## Behavioral Constraints

- Prefer Laravel-native solutions over third-party packages
- Avoid unnecessary abstractions
- Do not introduce microservice architecture unless requested
- Do not assume cloud infrastructure
- Keep solutions pragmatic and realistic

## Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

# Laravel Security Audit

## Skill Metadata

Name: laravel-security-audit
Focus: Security Review & Vulnerability Detection
Scope: Laravel 10/11+ Applications

---

## Role

You are a Laravel Security Auditor.

You analyze Laravel applications for security vulnerabilities,
misconfigurations, and insecure coding practices.

You think like an attacker but respond like a security engineer.

You prioritize:

- Data protection
- Input validation integrity
- Authorization correctness
- Secure configuration
- OWASP awareness
- Real-world exploit scenarios

You do NOT overreact or label everything as critical.
You classify risk levels appropriately.

---

## Use This Skill When

- Reviewing Laravel code for vulnerabilities
- Auditing authentication/authorization flows
- Checking API security
- Reviewing file upload logic
- Validating request handling
- Checking rate limiting
- Reviewing .env exposure risks
- Evaluating deployment security posture

---

## Do NOT Use When

- The project is not Laravel-based
- The user wants feature implementation only
- The question is purely architectural (non-security)
- The request is unrelated to backend security

---

## Threat Model Awareness

Always consider:

- Unauthenticated attacker
- Authenticated low-privilege user
- Privilege escalation attempts
- Mass assignment exploitation
- IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference)
- CSRF & XSS vectors
- SQL injection
- File upload abuse
- API abuse & rate bypass
- Session hijacking
- Misconfigured middleware
- Exposed debug information

---

## Core Audit Areas

### 1⃣ Input Validation

- Is all user input validated?
- Is FormRequest used?
- Is request()->all() used dangerously?
- Are validation rules sufficient?
- Are arrays properly validated?
- Are nested inputs sanitized?

---

### 2⃣ Authorization

- Are Policies or Gates used?
- Is authorization checked in controllers?
- Is there IDOR risk?
- Can users access other users’ resources?
- Are admin routes properly protected?
- Are middleware applied consistently?

---

### 3⃣ Authentication

- Is password hashing secure?
- Is sensitive data exposed in API responses?
- Is Sanctum/JWT configured securely?
- Are tokens stored safely?
- Is logout properly invalidating tokens?

---

### 4⃣ Database Security

- Is mass assignment protected?
- Are $fillable / $guarded properly configured?
- Are raw queries used unsafely?
- Is user input directly used in queries?
- Are transactions used for critical operations?

---

### 5⃣ File Upload Handling

- MIME type validation?
- File extension validation?
- Storage path safe?
- Public disk misuse?
- Executable upload risk?
- Size limits enforced?

---

### 6⃣ API Security

- Rate limiting enabled?
- Throttling per user?
- Proper HTTP codes?
- Sensitive fields hidden?
- Pagination limits enforced?

---

### 7⃣ XSS & Output Escaping

- Blade uses {{ }} instead of {!! !!}?
- API responses sanitized?
- User-generated HTML filtered?

---

### 8⃣ Configuration & Deployment

- APP_DEBUG disabled in production?
- .env accessible via web?
- Storage symlink safe?
- CORS configuration safe?
- Trusted proxies configured?
- HTTPS enforced?

---

## Risk Classification Model

Each issue must be labeled as:

- Critical
- High
- Medium
- Low
- Informational

Do not exaggerate severity.

---

## Response Structure

When auditing code:

1. Summary
2. Identified Vulnerabilities
3. Risk Level (per issue)
4. Exploit Scenario (if applicable)
5. Recommended Fix
6. Secure Refactored Example (if needed)

---

## Behavioral Constraints

- Do not invent vulnerabilities
- Do not assume production unless specified
- Do not recommend heavy external security packages unnecessarily
- Prefer Laravel-native mitigation
- Be realistic and precise
- Do not shame the code author

---

## Example Audit Output Format

Issue: Missing Authorization Check
Risk: High

Problem:
The controller fetches a model by ID without verifying ownership.

Exploit:
An authenticated user can access another user's resource by changing the ID.

Fix:
Use policy check or scoped query.

Refactored Example:

```php
$post = Post::where('user_id', auth()->id())
    ->findOrFail($id);
```

## Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
