Jervis Boost

Jervis Boost is an AI productivity toolkit for development teams. It teaches coding agents about a project through skills and roles, keeps project memory, and runs quality gates before changes ship.

Quick start

Run the guided setup from your project root:

npx --yes jervis-boost@latest setup

Or install the command globally:

npm install --global jervis-boost
jervis-boost setup

The setup creates .jervis/boost.config.ts, detects the stack, configures an MCP server when requested, synchronizes agent instructions, and generates project memory.

Common commands

jervis-boost init
jervis-boost detect --apply
jervis-boost sync
jervis-boost gate --all
jervis-boost summary init
jervis-boost mcp setup
jervis-boost dashboard
jervis-boost handoff --help
jervis-boost skill search "react performance"
jervis-boost skill import openai/react-best-practices --dry-run
jervis-boost starter list
jervis-boost starter detect --root <project-root>
jervis-boost starter apply wakeb-frontend --version v2 --dry-run --root <project-root>

Use jervis-boost --help or jervis-boost <command> --help to see every option. The CLI includes skills, roles, policies, profiles, workflows, hooks, architecture, design, dashboard, and MCP commands.

Cross-repository Handoff

Version 0.18.0 adds frontend/backend task delivery with reviewed contracts, isolated worktrees and verified integration. Pairing and transport are opt-in. Handoff transports task artifacts without pushing application commits.

Configure trusted local test, lint, typecheck and review checks in each verifying repository; integration also requires contract. A completed executor run alone does not complete the handoff. See the English guide or الدليل العربي for the full workflow, the verified Nuxt/Laravel trial and troubleshooting.

Requirements

• Node.js 22.13 or later
• A project you can write .jervis/ files to

See the getting-started guide and the CLI reference.

External Agent Skills are downloaded from GitHub only after explicit review, pinned to a commit, scanned, and recorded in skills.lock.json. Jervis never runs their bundled scripts automatically.

Wakeb Starter Kits are available only with the complete private tarball set. Version selection is project-scoped and may be overridden with --version v1|v2|v3; --global-shared adds only cross-version skills globally. Preview Laravel Boost commands with --dry-run because completed Composer or Artisan side effects cannot be rolled back.
