In plain English

Cloudkite is a small pack of instructions that teaches an AI coding agent how to safely deploy Laravel applications to Laravel Cloud, a hosting service for the Laravel PHP framework. Rather than being a hosted service or its own tool, it is a copy paste collection of documentation, checklists, and a helper script that you drop into wherever your AI agent looks for its skills and instructions, so the agent handles deployments the same consistent way every time. The pack has a few main pieces. A skill file explains how to use Laravel Cloud's official command line tool, covering conventions, how to do a first deployment, how to manage environment variables, and how to handle failures. An agent file provides system prompt style guidance for an agent whose job is specifically to operate Laravel Cloud. There are also checklists for multi step operations and for auditing a first production deployment, plus a small script that installs the official Cloud command line tool and checks that you are logged in. To use it you need an existing Laravel Cloud account, the official Cloud command line tool, and an API token generated from the Cloud dashboard. You copy the skill and agent files into your AI agent's configuration directories, run the included script to install and authenticate the command line tool, and then either you or your agent can run commands like shipping a new app with a database attached and monitoring its deployment. The README also lists explicit safety rules the agent should follow, such as always confirming before deleting anything, never printing secrets like API tokens in its output, running commands in non interactive mode so they never hang waiting for input, and stopping to ask a human if a command fails twice in a row. The project is released under the MIT license.
