OSS TanbouOverview
laravel/laravel is the application skeleton used to start a web application with the Laravel framework. Routing, dependency injection, sessions and caches, Eloquent ORM, migrations, queues, and event broadcasting arrive through its laravel/framework dependency.
Features and best fit
Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:
Provide a standard application layout and setup-to-development commands
composer.json defines a project skeleton with autoloading for application code, database factories and seeders, and tests. Its setup script installs dependencies, creates the environment file, generates an application key, runs migrations, and builds frontend assets before handing work to an Artisan-centered workflow.

For starting PHP web applications within Laravel conventions
It fits teams that prefer an established Laravel ecosystem and default structure over selecting routing, ORM, queues, and caches separately. Official documentation, Laravel Learn, and Laracasts provide learning paths at different levels.

Do not confuse the application skeleton with the framework implementation
Most framework implementation lives in the separate laravel/framework repository; this repository is the starter project that requires it. The current 13.x branch requires PHP ^8.3 and laravel/framework ^13.17. composer.json declares MIT and the README describes the framework as MIT, but upgrades still need review across both the skeleton and framework versions.

Supplemental curator note
Selected for concentrating stars on the starter repository while development lives in a separate framework repository, with a notable licensing-metadata gap.
