Laravel Prompts v0.3.11 introduces a new `number` prompt:

✅ Automatically validates that the value is numeric
⌨️ Use the up/down arrows to increase/decrease value
🗜️ Clamps the value at the min/max
🔄 Auto-casts to int if there is a value
📋 Falls through to additional validation

I have so many notes about stuff I want it to build already…

I think I need multiple max plans 😅

It’s almost too easy 🤯
But now I ran out of tokens 😅

Gurkerl.at Grocery Shopping — ClawdHub Gurkerl.at grocery shopping via MCP - search products, manage cart, orders, recipes, favorites.

Clawdbot — Personal AI Assistant Clawdbot — The AI that actually does things. Your personal assistant on any platform.

Protip: if you're installing @clawdbot on a Linux VM, don't be clever and name the machine clawd.bot
It will set that as a name for 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts and you won't be able to run the installer because it will resolve to localhost 🤦‍♂️
