Final Laravel CodeCanyon

This playbook takes a CodeCanyon Laravel app from the vendor ZIP all the way to a working production deployment — AI-assisted end to end. It begins by standing up an AI System (Phase 1) so every later phase runs with a constitution, safety hooks, and the universal rule set in place. Follow the phases in order — your progress is saved on this device.

Phase 1 · Set up the AI System → — the agent operating system every other phase depends on. It ships with a copy-paste kit.

Then walk them in order — your progress is saved on this device:
