Boost wraps the commands your agents already run, turning noisy logs into compact, structured context that keeps the signal — errors, timings, changed counts, cache hits — while cutting the noise.

Boost never trades quality for savings. It trims only what's safe to drop, so agent output stays just as sharp. Our Terminal-Bench 2.0 benchmark shows it: identical task pass rate, ~12% lower cost — Boost keeps agents optimized without ever breaking their stride.

Quick start

Install Boost:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jfrog/boost/main/install.sh | bash

Wire it into Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode:

boost init

Smart token savings

Boost does not just truncate output. It applies command-aware filters that preserve what agents need to reason about the result.

# Without Boost: ~9,800 tokens of install noise
$ npm ci
npm warn deprecated inflight@1.0.6 / rimraf@3.0.2 / glob@7.2.3 …
added 1285 packages, audited 1286 in 45s
found 0 vulnerabilities

# With Boost: ~640 tokens, same outcome, cache-backed
$ boost npm ci
[OK] npm ci · 1,285 packages restored from boost cache in 2.4s · 0 vulnerabilities

The agent sees the useful summary, not the scrollback. On failures, Boost keeps the failing test, compiler error, or stack frame that matters.

After wrapping commands, check how many tokens Boost kept out of your context window:

What it wraps

Agents: Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Windsurf, Cline.
Commands: Docker, npm, pytest, Git, GitHub CLI, and other shell commands pass through the same wrapper.

Usage examples

boost docker build ... — compressed build log and layer-cache summary
boost npm ci — dependency summary, local package cache, retry-safe output
boost pytest — quiet output on green runs, useful failures when tests break

Update

boost update

Security & Privacy

Local-first. Command history and raw logs stay on your machine.
Only metadata leaves. When Boost sends usage data, it goes only to JFrog to help improve the product. Exported metadata includes timing, exit code, and cache stats, never raw logs, file contents, or env values. Secrets matching patterns like *_TOKEN, *_SECRET, AWS_*, DATABASE_URL are redacted before write or export.
Open protocol, signed binaries. OpenTelemetry-native. Binaries ship signed via GitHub Releases.

Full policy, supported versions, and how to report a vulnerability: see SECURITY.md.
