Shift + AI = Fully Automated Laravel Upgrades

Matt Stauffer reached out about an AI skill he created to help review Shifts for the numerous Laravel applications he manages at Tighten. After seeing a demo, it gave me so many ideas!

As you know, I've made an effort to integrate Shift more with AI. So I'm excited to introduce the next integration. I built four AI commands to help manage the entire Shift workflow directly from your AI of choice. From analyzing your projects on what Shift to run next, to running and reviewing the Shift. Even a command to run one-off refactors.

Here's a quick look at the commands:

  • /shift:analyze — analyze your project and determine the next Shift to run
  • /shift:run — trigger a Shift to run against your current repository
  • /shift:review — review and process the Shift PR for additional automation
  • /shift:refactor — run a Shift Workbench task to refactor your code

I've been alpha testing this on my own projects for the last week. Now I'm ready for you to beta test it. As a subscriber to a Shifty Plan, your workflow will be the smoothest as you may directly run Shifts included with your plan.

See It In Action

To see just how powerful this combination can be, watch me upgrade a real project to Laravel 13 and Livewire 4 in just 15 minutes — fully automated with Shift + AI. No manual steps, no hunting through changelogs, just a smooth end-to-end upgrade.
