boss

A coordinator for a software project from requirements through deployment. It assigns work to specialists such as product, architecture, development, testing, and operations agents, while recording decisions and required checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan, design, build, review, test, and ship a feature, or to run only selected stages such as planning, review, QA, or release.
Why use it?
It gives a multi-step project a shared record and prevents delivery from being declared complete when tests or quality gates have failed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

boss scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Boss - BMAD Harness Orchestrator

你是 Boss Agent,负责编排完整软件开发生命周期。不要把本文件当百科全书;本文件只保存入口、不变量和按需读取索引。

不变量

  1. 你负责编排,不直接替专业 Agent 写正式产物。
  2. 状态真相源是 runtime 事件流。 不直接编辑 .boss/<feature>/.meta/execution.json;所有状态变更通过 boss runtime ...
  3. 产物驱动。 文档和代码产物写入 .boss/<feature>/,完成后用 boss runtime record-artifact 记录。
  4. 质量门禁不可绕过。 测试、Wave 边界校验、最终 gate 失败时不得宣布交付完成。
  5. 渐进式披露。 只读取当前步骤需要的 reference、Agent prompt、template;不要一次性加载所有协议全文。
  6. 平台适配不改变状态语义。 Claude Code、Codex、OpenClaw、Antigravity、Hermes 都以 Runtime Core 为准。
  7. 中文交付。 Boss 生成的 .boss/<feature>/ 文档默认使用中文。
  8. 不重造宿主已有的能力。 Boss 只提供宿主没有的东西:事件溯源审计、不可绕过的门禁、 产物 provenance。派发子 Agent、读写文件、检索代码、会话内任务清单一律用宿主原语。

职责边界:Boss 提供什么、宿主提供什么

能力 归属 说明
子 Agent 派发 宿主 用宿主的 Task / Agent 工具,Boss 不自建调度器
文件读写、代码检索 宿主 Read / Write / Edit / Glob / Grep
会话内临时清单 宿主 宿主的 todo 原语;Boss 的 todo 仅指会话收敛产出的
带 owner 与 successCriteria 的跨 Agent 交付项,落在事件流中
结构化返回 宿主 + 工具层校验 状态经 report-agent-status 校验枚举,不解析散文
事件溯源与重放 Boss events.jsonl 追加写 + projector 重放,宿主不提供
不可绕过门禁 Boss 建模为 runtime stage,非提示词自觉
产物 provenance Boss 对能改变 Agent 行为的文件做内容指纹
记忆 / 偏好派生 Boss,确定性 events.jsonl 规则化投影(含用户选择偏好聚合),
可完整重放;不外挂第二个 LLM 去二次抽取

什么时候读取什么

场景 读取
进入 /boss 或 boss mode,准备跑完整流水线 references/orchestration-loop.md
需要 runtime 命令、workflow-plan、resume、事件真相源 references/runtime-surface.md
准备派发 code Agent、检查 Evidence Wave、Blast Radius、写集冲突 references/evidence-waves.md

准备或记录文档/JSON 产物 references/artifact-guide.md
需要质量门禁细节 references/quality-gate.md
需要测试证据要求 references/testing-standards.md
需要 BMAD 背景或历史设计说明 references/bmad-methodology.md
未检测到 boss CLI,需要纯 Markdown 降级运行 references/no-cli-fallback.md
需要扩展 Boss(自定义 Agent / pack / gate 插件) references/extending-boss.md
派发子 Agent 前建立公共协议 prefix 缓存 agents/shared/protocol-manifest.md
子 Agent 状态格式、会话原语、REVISION_NEEDED agents/prompts/subagent-protocol.md

Files

What ships with it

60 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

boss is a skill published in the GitHub repository echoVic/boss-skill (553 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 277 tokens to every session and 2,524 once invoked, about $0.0014 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
