What is Laravel Forge?
The Laravel Forge skill for Openclaw Skills provides a robust, bash-based wrapper around the official Laravel Forge API. It enables developers and DevOps engineers to manage their entire infrastructure—including servers, sites, databases, and SSL certificates—directly from the command line or through automated AI workflows. By leveraging this tool, you can simplify complex tasks like server provisioning, PHP version management, and deployment orchestration across multiple organizations.
Designed for speed and efficiency, it uses standard utilities to interact with the JSON:API format of Forge. Whether you are automating a CI/CD pipeline or managing server-level configurations, this skill integrates seamlessly into the Openclaw Skills ecosystem to provide a high-performance management experience for Laravel developers.
Laravel Forge Use Cases
- Automating server provisioning and configuration across multiple cloud providers.
- Managing PHP versions, FPM configurations, and OPcache settings programmatically.
- Triggering site deployments and monitoring deployment history via CLI.
- Configuring database schemas, users, and backup schedules.
- Managing firewall rules and scheduled jobs for enhanced server security and automation.
How Laravel Forge Works
- The skill authenticates with the Laravel Forge API using a secure API token provided via environment variables or a configuration file.
- Users issue commands via the script, specifying the resource (e.g., servers, sites) and the action (e.g., create, list).
- The script utilizes curl to send requests to the Forge API endpoints, optionally scoping requests to a specific organization.
- Data is processed using jq to ensure clean, parseable JSON output for all management operations.
- The skill handles complex resource hierarchies, allowing for server-scoped or site-scoped management within the Openclaw Skills environment.

Option 1 — Environment variables:
