AI agents pass tests. Can they write idiomatic Laravel?

AI coding agents using Laravel Boost can now pass all 17 Laravel eval tasks at or near 100% accuracy, effectively saturating the existing benchmark. With correctness becoming table stakes, the focus is shifting to two new metrics: correct code per token (efficiency) and idiomatic Laravel quality. The post outlines how Boost will evolve to measure whether agents write code that not only works but follows Laravel conventions — using form requests, eager loading, Route::resource(), and other best practices — while minimizing the context tokens needed to get there. A new scoring layer using LLM-as-judge and a 19-point best-practices rubric is being developed alongside token/cost reporting as headline metrics.
