I Deleted My Custom Laravel AI Guidelines. Here’s Why.

A Laravel developer shares how they gradually eliminated all their custom AI coding guidelines for Laravel projects as LLMs (Claude Opus, GPT) improved over time. The post covers each removed rule: PHP enum usage, migration timestamp conflicts, comment style preferences, Context7 fallback docs, and automated test generation. The last remaining rule — running npm run build after frontend changes — was replaced with Claude Code and Codex CLI hooks that automatically trigger the build step. Filament-specific guidelines remain necessary since models still struggle with its newer patterns.
