Laravel Doctor 🩺

Packagist Version Total Downloads License

Laravel Doctor doesn't just tell developers what's broken. It explains why it's broken, what the impact is, whether it's safe to fix, and can repair it automatically.


Laravel Doctor is an open-source diagnostics and repair toolkit for Laravel applications. It provides a health check platform to inspect, explain, repair, and optimize your application states with surgical precision.

  • 🔍 Comprehensive Diagnostics: Automatically scan storage, permissions, databases, queues, cache, configurations, keys, and mail configurations.
  • 💡 Contextual Explanations: Understand the exact consequences and risks of failed checks.
  • 🛠️ Safe Auto-Repairs: Instantly apply safe, surgical fixes for common configuration and system issues.
  • 📊 Flexible Reporting: Output diagnostics in beautifully formatted CLI tables, markdown documentation, or structured JSON.
  • Production & Performance Modes: Separate specialized rules for live systems and performance speed-ups.
