## What it is
A template repository from Spatie for scaffolding new Laravel packages, with placeholders that a configure script replaces to bootstrap a package. It ships with testing, code style, and GitHub Actions workflows ready to go.

## Use cases
- scaffold a new Laravel package
- bootstrap a PHP package with testing and CI set up
- create a composer package skeleton
- start building a spatie-style Laravel package
- set up GitHub Actions workflows for a PHP package
- quickly rename placeholders across a new package repo

## When to choose
- you are starting a new Laravel or PHP package from scratch
- you want a battle-tested structure with Pest/PHPUnit tests and CI preconfigured
- you follow Spatie's package development conventions

## When to avoid
- you are building an application, not a reusable package
- you need a skeleton for a framework other than Laravel
- you already have an established package boilerplate

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, build-tool, testing
- domain: developer-tools, web-development
- platform: php, cli
- tags: laravel, package-skeleton, scaffolding, composer, spatie, template-repository, boilerplate, php
