Laravel Boost Adds Committed Project Rules via an MCP Tool
Laravel Boost · repo · agents, tools
What it is — A merged Laravel Boost PR that adds a record-rule MCP tool so agents can commit project-specific rules to versioned markdown files instead of relying on session memory.
Key points
- Rules are stored as markdown with YAML frontmatter (a
paths:field) in.ai/rules/, committed and reviewed like any other code change. - No separate search tool — agents just grep the repo for existing rules.
- Ships behind a
BOOST_RULES_ENABLEDflag so teams can turn it off entirely.
💬 The room said — Well received — people liked using an MCP tool over a skill for this, though some were unsure exactly when or how agents are prompted to record a rule.
