★ Building a PHP CLI for humans and AI agents with almost no hand-written code

[AdSense-A]

We recently released the Flare CLI, a command-line tool to manage your errors and performance data. It also ships with an agent skill that lets AI coding agents use Flare on your behalf.

The CLI has dozens of commands and hundreds of options, yet we only wrote four commands by hand. Our laravel-openapi-cli package made this possible: point it at an OpenAPI spec, and it generates fully typed artisan commands for every endpoint automatically.

Here's how we put it all together.

★ Let your AI coding agent fix your errors and review performance

[AdSense-A]

The Flare CLI lets you manage errors and performance monitoring from the terminal. It was built with almost no hand-written code, generated from our OpenAPI spec. Having a CLI is useful on its own, but where it gets really interesting is when you let an AI coding agent use it.

The Flare CLI ships with an agent skill that teaches AI agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex how to interact with Flare on your behalf. Let me show you how it works.

★ Introducing the Flare CLI

[AdSense-A]

At Flare, we track errors and monitor performance for your applications. Until now, that meant opening the Flare dashboard in your browser whenever you wanted to check on things.

We just released the Flare CLI, a command-line tool that lets you manage your errors, projects, and performance monitoring data directly from the terminal. It also ships with an agent skill that lets AI coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor use Flare on your behalf. And the fun part: the entire CLI was built with almost no hand-written code, generated from our OpenAPI spec.

Let me walk you through how to install and use the CLI.

★ Generate OG images for your Laravel app

[AdSense-A]

When you share a link on Twitter, Facebook, or LinkedIn, the platform shows a preview image. Getting those Open Graph images right usually means either using an external service or setting up a separate rendering pipeline. We just released laravel-og-image, a package that lets you define your OG image as HTML right inside your Blade views. The package takes a screenshot of that HTML and serves it as the OG image. No external API needed, everything runs on your own server.

Let me walk you through what the package can do.

★ Laravel Permission v7 has been launched

[AdSense-A]

Laravel's built-in authorization is great when permissions are defined in code. With gates and policies, you can write logic like this:

// Defined in code, requires a deploy to change
Gate::define('edit-posts', function (User $user) {
    return $user->is_admin;
});

But in some projects roles and permissions are dynamic: created by users, managed through an admin panel, or changed at runtime without deploying code. Our Laravel Permission package can help you dynamically create roles and permissions.

We just released v7 which doesn't bring any new features, but cleans up the internal code and modernizes it. Let me walk you through what the package can do.
