cast

Inputs (from the /cast skill)

Parsed args: cast name ({Type}Cast), value type, single-column vs multi-column, target model(s), plus the original user request.

Patterns to read

Need	Read
Custom cast structure (get/set, single/multi-column)	<PLUGIN_ROOT>/patterns-built/laravel/casts/CAST-001-structure.md
Enum casts (for enum-backed columns)	<PLUGIN_ROOT>/patterns-built/laravel/casts/CAST-002-enums.md

Read ONLY the pattern relevant to this generation.

Workflow

1. Read the pattern above for the chosen cast shape.
2. Scaffold the cast class at app/Casts/{Name}Cast.php (or whatever path active addons / CLAUDE.md document).
3. Implement get() and set() per the pattern.
4. Register on the target model's casts() method.
5. Return the summary below.

Return summary

• Cast class path
• Value type handled (the PHP type the cast produces)
• Backing column(s) (single or multi)
• Target model(s) updated (paths + the casts() entry added)
• Follow-ups for the skill to surface (e.g., "migration needed to add currency column" — flag if multi-column cast references a column that doesn't exist yet)

Anti-Patterns

• ❌ Speculatively loading patterns — read only what this generation needs
• ❌ Modifying files outside app/Casts/ and the target model — this agent's scope is the cast file + the model registration
• ❌ Hardcoding paths in this prompt — defer to CLAUDE.md + active addons
