Boost CLI — Faster Commands for Cursor, Claude Code & CI

Same task. Less tokens.

Frequently asked

Questions about Boost

Everything you might want to know before you install.

What is Boost?

Boost is a CLI wrapper that makes every command your coding agents and CI run faster, quieter, and cheaper in tokens. You prefix any command with `boost` (for example, `boost docker build`) and Boost runs the real tool transparently while replacing its noisy output with a compact, agent-friendly summary.

Which coding agents does Boost support?

Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode. Boost also wraps GitHub Actions for CI, so the same compression and tracing apply on local development and in your build pipeline.

How does Boost make commands faster and quieter?

Boost runs the underlying command (docker, npm, go, gh, git, vite, bun, and 100+ more) and applies a per-command filter that strips progress bars, repeated chatter, and ANSI noise. For supported tools it also adds intelligent caching. Typical token reductions are 60–90%.

Does Boost work with GitHub Actions?

Yes. Run `boost init --github-actions` in a repository and Boost wires itself into your workflows, creating `.boost/config.toml` for that repo as part of setup. You get the same compact output and trace data you have locally.

Is Boost free?

Yes. The Boost CLI is free and requires no signup. Optional paid plans add managed cache acceleration on top of the free tier.

Why is Boost free?

Boost is free so every developer can make agent and CI runs leaner from day one. The free product includes usage limits and throttling to keep the service fair, and JFrog plans to release additional enterprise value for teams that need higher scale, governance, and advanced capabilities.

Who should use Boost?

Boost is built for everyone from startups to enterprises: solo developers using coding agents, teams trying to keep agent context under control, and organizations that want faster, quieter CI without changing the tools they already use.

Does Boost send my command output anywhere?

Yes. We collect telemetry data to help us understand how Boost is used and to continuously improve the tool.
