Sibling of [`sandermuller/package-boost-laravel`](https://github.com/sandermuller/package-boost-laravel) (Laravel-package flavor); both ride the [`sandermuller/boost-core`](https://github.com/sandermuller/boost-core) sync engine. [![overview image](overview.png)](overview.png) > Where [`laravel/boost`](https://github.com/laravel/boost) ships Laravel application guidelines, `package-boost-php` ships package-author CLI infrastructure (`vendor/bin/package-boost-php lean` + `gitattributes`) and skill-authoring tooling for the boost ecosystem. Framework-agnostic, no Laravel dependency. The release-flow content skills (`readme`, `release-notes`, `upgrading`) ship from [`sandermuller/boost-skills`](https://github.com/sandermuller/boost-skills) under the `release-automation` tag.

Both target `.gitattributes`, the file that controls what ends up in the Composer archive.

See [UPGRADING](UPGRADING.md) for the migration note. Install ------- [](#install) ``` composer require --dev sandermuller/package-boost-php ``` PHP 8.3+ required. `sandermuller/boost-core` (the sync engine) and `stolt/lean-package-validator` (the `lean` command's checker) come in transitively — do not `require sandermuller/boost-core` separately, it resolves through this package. One package is the whole install; the auto-sync callback (below) lives under this package's own namespace so your `composer.json` never names the transitive dependency. First run --------- [](#first-run) ``` vendor/bin/boost install # interactive: pick agents, allowlist vendors (writes boost.php) vendor/bin/boost sync # fan out skills + guidelines to selected agents vendor/bin/package-boost-php gitattributes # write or refresh the managed .gitattributes block vendor/bin/package-boost-php lean # confirm the archive is lean ``` Generated agent dirs (`.claude/`, `.cursor/`, `.codex/`, etc.) are added to `.gitignore` automatically; root-level agent files (`AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`) are tracked, not gitignored, per boost-core's tracking model. Edit `.ai/` only, then re-run `vendor/bin/boost sync`. `boost.php` config ------------------ [](#boostphp-config) The canonical example is this repo's own dogfood config (kept at `.config/boost.php`; root `boost.php` works too): ```
