# Skill: Craft Controller > "Controllers are traffic cops, not detectives." ## The Standard 1. **CRUDDY**: `index`, `show`, `store`, `update`, `destroy`. 2. **Single-Action**: `__invoke` for complex operations. 3. **Thin**: No business logic. Delegate to Actions. 4. **Transaction Owner**: `DB::transaction()` belongs here. ## The Anti-Patterns | ❌ Don't | ✅ Do | Why | |------------------------------|---------------------------|----------------------------| | Business logic in controller | Delegate to Action | Single responsibility | | Raw queries in controller | Use QueryBuilder/scopes | Controllers don't query | | Transaction in Action | Transaction in Controller | Enables Action composition | | Deep conditionals | Early returns | Flat, readable flow | ## Real-World Examples See [examples.md](examples.md).
