Yes, it applies typed constants, strict return types, and attributes like #[Override] to make your PHP code more robust and error-resistant.

Can it help with database performance?

Absolutely. It analyzes Eloquent usage to detect and fix N+1 query issues and improves query efficiency through modern Laravel patterns.

Does this skill support the latest PHP 8.4 features?

Yes, it specifically implements PHP 8.4 property hooks, virtual properties, asymmetric visibility, and interface properties to eliminate boilerplate.
