Boost Documentation Search

Boost Documentation Search

When to use this skill

Use this skill when:

• Searching for Boost-specific documentation (guidelines, skills, boost:install, boost:update, etc.)
• Documentation searches are failing with "No results found"
• You need information about how Boost works internally
• You need to understand Boost's file structure or conventions

How to Search Boost Documentation

DO NOT Filter by Package

CRITICAL: Boost documentation is stored under laravel/framework, NOT laravel/boost.

❌ WRONG:

search-docs(queries: ["boost guidelines"], packages: ["laravel/boost"])

✅ CORRECT:

search-docs(queries: ["boost guidelines"])

Use Simple, Broad Search Terms

• ✅ Good: ["boost guidelines", "custom guidelines", ".ai directory"]
• ✅ Good: ["boost:install", "boost:update"]
• ✅ Good: ["boost skills", "agent skills"]
• ❌ Bad: ["how to override boost pint guidelines in .ai/guidelines/pint/core.blade.php"] (too specific)

Multiple Queries

Use multiple simple queries instead of one complex query:

queries: ["boost guidelines", "override guidelines", ".ai directory"]

If Search Still Fails

If you get "No results found" even after following the above:

1. Check if Boost MCP server is running - Ask the user:

   "The Boost documentation search is returning 'No results found'. Can you verify that the Boost MCP server is running correctly?"

2. Try even broader terms - Use single-word queries like ["boost"] or ["guidelines"]

3. Ask the user for help - The user may need to restart the Boost server or check the configuration
