Laravel Nova to Filament
Phased Nova-to-Filament v5 migration playbook with a 25-row field mapping table

- Environment
- Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
We converted a realistic Nova Product resource with and without the skill, then checked every Filament class either version imported against the actual filament v5.7.6 source pulled from Packagist. The playbook is unusually thorough and its facts mostly hold up — the stated prerequisites match the real package (php ^8.2, illuminate/contracts ^11.28|^12|^13), and the field and artisan tables verified clean, including IconColumn::boolean(), ImageColumn::circular(), TextColumn::money()/badge() and make:filament-widget --stats-overview. But its one complete copy-paste code pattern, the section 4.6 infolist, imports Filament\Infolists\Infolist, which no longer exists anywhere in v5, plus Infolists\Components\Section and Grid, which moved to Filament\Schemas — so the skill-guided resource carried two dead imports against the unaided version's one, and it also uses ->separator() as a row divider when in v5 that method splits the value on commas. It further sends you plugin-hunting for Code and MorphTo fields that v5 ships natively as CodeEditor and MorphToSelect. Excellent process scaffolding, but budget time to correct the v5 specifics.

What Laravel Nova to Filament does
A 1,300-line migration playbook that walks an agent from Nova inventory through field mapping, actions, filters, lenses, metrics, dashboards, authorization and cutover, keeping migration/inventory.md, plan.md, progress.md and auth.md as state and running Filament alongside Nova on a separate path. Triggers on requests to migrate, port or replace a Laravel Nova admin panel with Filament PHP. Its field and artisan tables check out against Filament v5, but a few v5 API references are stale.
