Introduction ------------ [](#introduction) Boots is a slimmed-down fork of [Laravel Boost](https://github.com/laravel/boost) with one goal: to provide a way to make your AI guidelines consistent across different agents, no matter what your app's stack is. What's the difference? - Laravel Boost is tightly specific to the Laravel framework, provides its own guidelines, and must be a dependency of your application - Boots is framework (and language) agnostic, allows you to define your own guidelines, and can be used as a standalone command line tool Note It is still recommended to use Laravel Boost in a Laravel application - the additional features it provides are worth it. With this, you can easily switch between different AI agents or have multiple team members using different agents on the same project, while keeping your guidelines consistent and up to date. Usage ----- [](#usage) Boots can be installed globally via Composer, then run via the `boots` command in your terminal: ``` composer global require imliam/boots boots ``` Or run via [cpx](https://cpx.dev): ``` cpx imliam/boots ``` When run, Boots will prompt you to ask which agents you wish to generate guidelines files for. Boots will also try to automatically detect which agents you may be using based on your existing AI guideline files or tools you have installed. Boots will look for a `./.ai/guidelines` directory in your current working directory and process all files within it, compiling them into agent-specific guidelines. Important You should put all your project's AI guidelines files in the `./.ai/guidelines` directory - Boots will handle the rest. Migrating Existing Guidelines ----------------------------- [](#migrating-existing-guidelines) If you already have AI guideline files scattered throughout your project (like `.github/copilot-instructions.md`, `.cursor/rules/boots.mdc`, etc.), you can use the `stomp` command to automatically find and move them to the standardized `.ai/guidelines/` structure, giving you a single source of truth you can then clean up as needed. ``` boots stomp ``` The following agents are supported out of the box: - Cascade - Claude Code - Cline - Cursor - GitHub Copilot - Junie - Kilo Code - Kiro - Roocode - Trae - Warp ### Health Score 26 — LowBetter than 41% of packages Maintenance56 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity10 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity27 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
