+### Development Server
+
 ```bash
-# Start PHP dev environment
+# Start full Laravel dev environment
 core php dev
 
-# Run artisan commands
-core php artisan <command>
+# Start with HTTPS (uses mkcert)
+core php dev --https
 
-# Run composer
-core php composer <command>
+# Skip specific services
+core php dev --no-vite --no-horizon
+
+# Custom port
+core php dev --port 9000
+```
+
+**Services orchestrated:**
+- FrankenPHP/Octane (port 8000, HTTPS on 443)
+- Vite dev server (port 5173)
+- Laravel Horizon (queue workers)
+- Laravel Reverb (WebSocket, port 8080)
+- Redis (port 6379)
+
+```bash
+# View logs
+core php logs

+
+# Check status
+core php status
+
+# Stop all services
+core php stop
+
+# Setup SSL certificates
+core php ssl
+core php ssl --domain myapp.test
+```
+
+### Testing
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests (auto-detects Pest/PHPUnit)
+core php test
+
+# Run in parallel
+core php test --parallel
+
+# With coverage
+core php test --coverage
+
+# Filter tests
+core php test --filter UserTest
+core php test --group api
+```
+
+### Code Quality
+
+```bash
+# Check formatting (dry-run)
+core php fmt
+
+# Auto-fix formatting
+core php fmt --fix
+
+# Show diff
+core php fmt --diff
+
+# Run static analysis
+core php analyse
+
+# Max strictness
+core php analyse --level 9
+```
+
+### Building & Deployment
+
+```bash
+# Build Docker image
+core php build
+core php build --name myapp --tag v1.0
+
+# Build for specific platform
+core php build --platform linux/amd64
+
+# Build LinuxKit image
+core php build --type linuxkit --format iso
+
+# Run production container
+core php serve --name myapp
+core php serve --name myapp -d  # Detached
+
+# Open shell in container
+core php shell myapp
+```
+
+### Coolify Deployment
+
+```bash
+# Deploy to production
+core php deploy
+
+# Deploy to staging
+core php deploy --staging
+
+# Wait for completion
+core php deploy --wait
+
+# Check deployment status
+core php deploy:status
+
+# List recent deployments
+core php deploy:list
+
+# Rollback
+core php deploy:rollback
+core php deploy:rollback --id abc123
+```
+
+**Required .env configuration:**
+```env
+COOLIFY_URL=https://coolify.example.com
+COOLIFY_TOKEN=your-api-token
+COOLIFY_APP_ID=production-app-id
+COOLIFY_STAGING_APP_ID=staging-app-id
+```
+
+### Package Management
+
+```bash
+# Link local packages for development
+core php packages link ../my-package
+core php packages link ../pkg-a ../pkg-b
+
+# List linked packages
+core php packages list
+
+# Update linked packages
+core php packages update
+
+# Unlink packages
+core php packages unlink vendor/my-package
