NEW Laravel (Unofficial) API Starter Kit: Built by Me and Fable 5

An unofficial Laravel API starter kit built with Claude (Fable 5) is presented as an alternative to the official starter kits, which currently lack a pure API option. The kit includes Laravel Sanctum-based authentication with versioned routes (v1), registration, login, password reset, token management, and API documentation via Scramble — all without a frontend layer, npm, or Laravel Fortify. The official Laravel team is working on their own API starter kit expected in 2026, but this project offers an immediate solution for developers who want a clean, API-only Laravel project scaffold.
