# Filament Plugin Scaffold Skill

Creates a complete Filament plugin skeleton (panel or standalone) following Filament's official plugin development guidelines.

## Usage

When the user wants to create a Filament plugin, use the scaffold script:

```bash
python3 ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scaffold_filament_plugin.py <vendor/plugin-name> [options]
```

## Options

- `--with-resource <name>` - Include a sample Resource
- `--with-page` - Include a sample custom Page
- `--with-widget` - Include a sample Widget
- `--with-livewire` - Include Livewire component structure
- `--with-pest` - Include PestPHP testing (default: yes)
- `--no-pest` - Exclude PestPHP testing

## Examples

### Basic Filament plugin
```bash
python3 ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scaffold_filament_plugin.py mwguerra/filament-blog
```

### Plugin with Resource
```bash
python3 ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scaffold_filament_plugin.py mwguerra/filament-blog --with-resource Post
```

### Full-featured plugin
```bash
python3 ${SKILL_DIR}/scripts/scaffold_filament_plugin.py mwguerra/filament-blog --with-resource Post --with-page --with-widget
```

## Filament Plugin Best Practices

1. **Use the Plugin Contract**: Always implement `Filament\Contracts\Plugin`
2. **Register in boot()**: Register resources/pages/widgets in `boot()` method
3. **Support Panel Configuration**: Allow users to customize via `->plugin()`
4. **Translations**: Use translation keys for all user-facing strings
5. **Views**: Use namespaced views (`filament-plugin-name::view-name`)
6. **Testing**: Test Livewire components with `Livewire::test()`
