# Laravel 11 Reverb High-Performance WebSocket Server

Configures Laravel 11 Reverb: installing reverb, defining ShouldBroadcast events, channel authorization routes (routes/channels.php), private and presence channels, and connecting frontend clients with Laravel Echo.

## When to Invoke
Invoke this skill whenever you need to:
- install laravel reverb
- laravel shouldbroadcast event
- laravel echo reverb connect

## Execution SOP & Rules
1. Install Reverb: php artisan install:broadcasting and choose Reverb.
2. Start Reverb server: php artisan reverb:start.
3. Authorize private channel in routes/channels.php: Broadcast::channel('orders.{id}', fn($user, $id) => ...);
4. Broadcast event: event(new OrderShipped($order)); and listen in Echo: Echo.private(`orders.${id}`).listen(...).

## Verification Checklist
- Run local linting, syntax validation, and type-checks before reporting completion.
- Ensure all created or modified files adhere to workspace boundaries and avoid uncommitted secrets.
- Verify tests or build commands exit cleanly with return code 0.
