About pao

Introduction Laravel PAO is agent-optimized output for PHP tools. It works with any PHP project — Laravel, Symfony, Laminas, vanilla PHP, or anything else that uses PHPUnit, Pest, Paratest, PHPStan, or Laravel Artisan. It detects when your tools are running inside an AI agent — Claude Code, Cursor, Devin, Gemini CLI, and others — and replaces the verbose, human-readable output with compact, super minimal, structured JSON. For Laravel Artisan commands, it strips ANSI colors, box-drawing characters, and excess whitespace. Zero config — just install and it works.
