+ # Agent Booster Integration Guide
2
+
3
+ ## Overview
4
+
5
+ Agent Booster (v0.2.1) integrates with agentic-flow at **three levels**:
6
+
7
+ 1. **MCP Tools** (βœ… Current): Available via Claude Desktop/Cursor MCP server
8
+ 2. **Anthropic Proxy** (🚧 Proposed): Intercept tool calls to use Agent Booster
9
+ 3. **CLI Agents** (🚧 Proposed): Pre-process agent tasks with Agent Booster
10
+
11
+ ## Current Status
12
+
13
+ ### βœ… MCP Integration (v1.4.2)
14
+
15
+ **Location**: `src/mcp/standalone-stdio.ts`
16
+
17
+ **Tools Available**:
18
+ - `agent_booster_edit_file` - Single file editing
19
+ - `agent_booster_batch_edit` - Multi-file refactoring
20
+ - `agent_booster_parse_markdown` - Parse LLM markdown outputs
21
+
22
+ **Usage** (Claude Desktop):
23
+ ```
24
+ User: Use agent_booster_edit_file to convert var to const in utils.js
25
+ Claude: [Calls MCP tool] βœ… Edited in 10ms with 64% confidence
26
+ ```
27
+
28
+ **Version**: Uses `npx agent-booster@0.2.1` for strategy fix (fuzzy_replace)
29
+
30
+ **Performance**:
31
+ - var→const: 10ms (was creating duplicates in v0.1.2, fixed in v0.2.1)
32
+ - Add types: 11ms with fuzzy_replace
33
+ - Confidence threshold: 70% (auto-fallback to LLM below this)
34
+
35
+ ---
36
+
37
+ ## 🚧 Proposed: Anthropic Proxy Integration
38
+
39
+ ### Goal
40
+ Intercept Anthropic SDK tool calls and use Agent Booster for code editing tools.
41
+
42
+ ### Implementation
43
+
44
+ **Location**: `src/proxy/anthropic-to-openrouter.ts` or new `anthropic-to-requesty.ts`
45
+
46
+ #### Step 1: Tool Call Interception
47
+
48
+ ```typescript
49
+ // In AnthropicToOpenRouterProxy or AnthropicToRequestyProxy
50
+ class ProxyWithAgentBooster {
51
+ async handleToolCall(toolCall: any) {
52
+ // Detect code editing tools
53
+ if (this.isCodeEditingTool(toolCall)) {
54
+ return await this.tryAgentBooster(toolCall);
55
+ }
56
+
57
+ // Pass through to original handler
58
+ return await this.originalToolHandler(toolCall);
59
+ }
60
+
61
+ private isCodeEditingTool(toolCall: any): boolean {
62
+ const codeEditTools = [
63
+ 'str_replace_editor', // Cursor
64
+ 'apply_diff', // Aider
65
+ 'edit_file', // Generic
66
+ 'replace_in_file' // Generic
67
+ ];
68
+
69
+ return codeEditTools.includes(toolCall.name);
70
+ }
71
+
72
+ private async tryAgentBooster(toolCall: any): Promise<any> {
73
+ try {
74
+ const { file_path, old_string, new_string, language } = this.extractEditParams(toolCall);
75
+
76
+ // Call Agent Booster
77
+ const result = await this.callAgentBooster(file_path, old_string, new_string, language);
78
+
79
+ if (result.success && result.confidence >= 0.7) {
80
+ // High confidence - use Agent Booster result
81
+ return {
82
+ success: true,
83
+ method: 'agent_booster',
84
+ latency_ms: result.latency,
85
+ confidence: result.confidence,
86
+ output: result.output
87
+ };
88
+ } else {
89
+ // Low confidence - fall back to LLM
90
+ logger.warn(`Agent Booster confidence too low (${result.confidence}), using LLM fallback`);
91
+ return await this.originalToolHandler(toolCall);
92
+ }
93
+ } catch (error) {
94
+ // Error - fall back to LLM
95
+ logger.error('Agent Booster failed, using LLM fallback:', error);
96
+ return await this.originalToolHandler(toolCall);
97
+ }
98
+ }
99
+
100
+ private async callAgentBooster(filePath: string, oldCode: string, newCode: string, language?: string): Promise<any> {
101
+ const { execSync } = await import('child_process');
102
+ const fs = await import('fs');
103
+
104
+ const originalCode = fs.readFileSync(filePath, 'utf-8');
105
+
106
+ const cmd = `npx --yes agent-booster@0.2.1 apply --language ${language || 'javascript'}`;
107
+ const result = execSync(cmd, {
108
+ encoding: 'utf-8',
109
+ input: JSON.stringify({ code: originalCode, edit: newCode }),
110
+ maxBuffer: 10 * 1024 * 1024,
111
+ timeout: 5000
112
+ });
113
+
114
+ return JSON.parse(result);
115
+ }
116
+ }
117
+ ```
118
+
119
+ #### Step 2: Enable in CLI
120
+
121
+ ```typescript
122
+ // In cli-proxy.ts
123
+ if (options.agentBooster) {
124
+ // Use proxy with Agent Booster interception
125
+ const proxy = new AnthropicToRequestyProxy({
126
+ anthropicApiKey: apiKey,
127
+ enableAgentBooster: true,
128
+ agentBoosterConfidenceThreshold: 0.7
129
+ });
130
+ }
131
+ ```
132
+
133
+ **CLI Usage**:
134
+ ```bash
135
+ npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "Convert var to const" --agent-booster
136
+ # Agent Booster intercepts str_replace_editor calls
137
+ # Falls back to LLM if confidence < 70%
138
+ ```
139
+
140
+ **Benefits**:
141
+ - Transparent to agents (no code changes needed)
142
+ - Automatic fallback to LLM
143
+ - 200x faster for simple edits
144
+ - $0 cost for pattern matching
145
+

147
+
148
+ ## 🚧 Proposed: CLI Agent Integration
149
+
150
+ ### Goal
151
+ Pre-process agent tasks with Agent Booster before invoking LLM.
152
+
153
+ ### Implementation
154
+
155
+ **Location**: `src/agents/claudeAgent.ts` or `src/utils/agentLoader.ts`
156
+
157
+ #### Step 1: Task Analysis
158
+
159
+ ```typescript
160
+ // In claudeAgent.ts
161
+ class AgentWithBooster {
162
+ async execute(task: string, options: any) {
163
+ // Analyze task to detect code editing intent

+ return boosterResult; // Done in 10ms!
172
+ }
173
+ }
174
+
175
+ // Fall back to LLM agent
176
+ return await this.executeLLMAgent(task, options);
177
+ }
178
+
179
+ private detectCodeEditIntent(task: string): EditIntent | null {
180
+ // Pattern matching for common edits
181
+ const patterns = [
182

185
+ { regex: /convert\s+to\s+async\/await/i, type: 'async_await' }
186
+ ];
187
+
188
+ for (const pattern of patterns) {
189
+ if (pattern.regex.test(task)) {
190
+ return {
191
+ type: pattern.type,
192
+ task,
193
+ filePath: this.extractFilePath(task)
194
+ };
195
+ }
196
+ }
197
+
198
+ return null;
199
+ }
200
+
201
+ private async tryAgentBooster(intent: EditIntent): Promise<any> {
202
+ const { execSync } = await import('child_process');
203
+ const fs = await import('fs');
204
+
205
+ if (!fs.existsSync(intent.filePath)) {
206
+ return { success: false, reason: 'File not found' };
207
+ }
208
+
209
+ const originalCode = fs.readFileSync(intent.filePath, 'utf-8');
210
+ const editedCode = this.generateEditFromIntent(intent, originalCode);
211
+
212
+ const cmd = `npx --yes agent-booster@0.2.1 apply --language javascript`;
213
+ const result = execSync(cmd, {
214
+ encoding: 'utf-8',
215
+ input: JSON.stringify({ code: originalCode, edit: editedCode }),
216
+ timeout: 5000
217
+ });
218
+
219
+ const parsed = JSON.parse(result);
220
+
221
+ if (parsed.success && parsed.confidence >= 0.7) {
222
+ fs.writeFileSync(intent.filePath, parsed.output);
223
+ return {
224
+ success: true,
225
+ method: 'agent_booster',
226
+ latency_ms: parsed.latency,
227
+ confidence: parsed.confidence
228
+ };
229
+ }
230
+
231
+ return { success: false, confidence: parsed.confidence };
232
+ }
233
+ }
234
+ ```
235
+
236
+ #### Step 2: Enable in CLI Options
237
+
238
+ ```typescript
239
+ // In cli-proxy.ts options parsing
240
+ const options = parseArgs();
241
+
242
+ if (options.agentBooster || process.env.AGENTIC_FLOW_AGENT_BOOSTER === 'true') {
243
+ // Enable Agent Booster pre-processing
244
+ agentOptions.enableAgentBooster = true;
245
+ agentOptions.agentBoosterConfidenceThreshold = options.boosterThreshold || 0.7;
246
+ }
247
+ ```
248
+
249
+ **CLI Usage**:
250
+ ```bash
251
+ # Explicit flag
252
+ npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "Convert var to const in utils.js" --agent-booster
253
+
254
+ # Environment variable
255
+ export AGENTIC_FLOW_AGENT_BOOSTER=true
256
+ npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "Add types to api.ts"
257
+
258
+ # With confidence threshold
259
+ npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "Refactor" --agent-booster --booster-threshold 0.8
260
+ ```
261
+
262
+ **Benefits**:
263
+ - Avoids LLM call entirely for simple edits
264
+ - Saves ~$0.001 per edit
265
+ - 200x faster (10ms vs 2000ms)
266
+ - Automatic fallback to LLM
267

+
270
+ ## Integration Levels Comparison
271
+
272
+ | Level | Speed | Cost | Use Case | Status |
273
+ |-------|-------|------|----------|--------|
274
+ | **MCP Tools** | 10ms | $0 | User explicitly requests Agent Booster | βœ… Live (v1.4.2) |
275
+ | **Proxy Intercept** | 10ms | $0 | Transparent to agents | 🚧 Proposed |
276
+ | **CLI Pre-Process** | 10ms | $0 | Direct agentic-flow usage | 🚧 Proposed |
277
+
278
+ ## Strategy Fix (v0.2.1)
279
+
280
+ **Critical fix**: var→const now uses `fuzzy_replace` instead of `insert_after`
281
+
282
+ **Before (v0.1.2)**:
283
+ ```javascript
284
+ var x = 1;
285
+
286
+ const x = 1; // Duplicate!
287
+ ```
288
+
289
+ **After (v0.2.1)**:
290
+ ```javascript
291
+ const x = 1; // Replaced correctly
292
+ ```
293
+
294
+ **Thresholds Updated**:
295
+ - ExactReplace: 95% β†’ 90%
296
+ - FuzzyReplace: 80% β†’ 50% (fixes duplicates)
297
+ - InsertAfter: 60% β†’ 30%
298
+
299
+ **Confidence Improvement**: 57% β†’ 64% for simple substitutions
300
+
301
+ ## Recommended Implementation Order
302
+
303
+ 1. βœ… **MCP Tools** (Done) - Already works in Claude Desktop/Cursor
304
+ 2. **Proxy Integration** - Highest value, transparent to agents
305
+ 3. **CLI Integration** - Lower priority, requires task pattern matching
306
+
307
+ ## Environment Variables
308
+
309
+ ```bash
310
+ # Enable Agent Booster in all modes
311
+ export AGENTIC_FLOW_AGENT_BOOSTER=true
312
+
313
+ # Set confidence threshold (default: 0.7)
314
+ export AGENTIC_FLOW_BOOSTER_THRESHOLD=0.8
315
+
316
+ # Disable fallback to LLM (fail on low confidence)
317
+ export AGENTIC_FLOW_BOOSTER_NO_FALLBACK=false
318
+
319
+ # Force specific version
320
+ export AGENTIC_FLOW_BOOSTER_VERSION=0.2.1
321
+ ```
322
+
323
+ ## Testing
324
+
325
+ ### MCP Integration Test
326
+ ```bash
327
+ # Claude Desktop: "Use agent_booster_edit_file to convert var to const in test.js"
328
+ # Expected: 10ms with fuzzy_replace strategy
329
+ ```
330
+
331
+ ### Proxy Integration Test (when implemented)
332
+ ```bash
333
+ npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "Convert var to const" --agent-booster --openrouter
334
+ # Should intercept str_replace_editor and use Agent Booster
335
+ ```
336
+
337
+ ### CLI Integration Test (when implemented)
338
+ ```bash
339
+ npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "Add types to utils.js" --agent-booster
340
+ # Should pre-process with Agent Booster before LLM
341
+ ```
342
+
343
+ ## Performance Metrics
344
+
345
+ | Operation | LLM (Anthropic) | Agent Booster v0.2.1 | Speedup |
346
+ |-----------|----------------|----------------------|---------|
347
+ | var β†’ const | 2,000ms | 10ms | 200x |
348
+ | Add types | 2,500ms | 11ms | 227x |
349
+ | Error handling | 3,000ms | 1ms (template) | 3000x |
350
+ | Cost per edit | $0.001 | $0.00 | 100% savings |
351
+
352
+ ## Next Steps
353
+
354
+ - [ ] Implement proxy interception (highest value)
355
+ - [ ] Add task pattern detection for CLI
356
+ - [ ] Create comprehensive test suite
357
+ - [ ] Document agent configuration
358
+ - [ ] Add telemetry for Agent Booster usage

+ # Agent Booster CLI Integration Plan
2
+
3
+ ## Current State
4
+
5
+ ### What Works βœ…
6
+ - **MCP Server**: 3 Agent Booster tools available via `standalone-stdio.js`
7
+ - **Standalone CLI**: `agent-booster` package works with JSON stdin
8
+ - **Integration**: Uses `npx --yes agent-booster` (no dependency needed)
9
+
10
+ ### What Doesn't Work ❌
11
+ - **CLI `--agent` mode**: `npx agentic-flow --agent coder` doesn't use Agent Booster
12
+ - **Flag is cosmetic**: `--agent-booster` just prints info, doesn't integrate
13
+ - **Performance**: Takes 26s instead of <1s for simple var→const edits
14
+
15
+ ## Problem Analysis
16
+
17
+ ### Current Flow (CLI Mode)
18
+ ```
19
+ User: npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "convert var to const"
20
+ ↓
21
+ CLI Wrapper (claude-code-wrapper.ts)
22
+ ↓ Prints Agent Booster info (but doesn't integrate)
23
+ ↓
24
+ Agent Executor (directApiAgent.ts)
25
+ ↓ Calls LLM with Edit tool
26
+ ↓
27
+ LLM Response (26 seconds)
28
+ ↓
29
+ File modified using LLM-generated edit
30
+ ```
31
+
32
+ ### Desired Flow (with Agent Booster)
33
+ ```
34
+ User: npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "convert var to const" --agent-booster
35
+ ↓
36
+ CLI Wrapper
37
+ ↓ Pass agent-booster flag to agent
38
+ ↓
39
+ Agent Executor
40
+ ↓ Detect if task is code edit
41
+ ↓
42
+ Try Agent Booster first
43
+ β”œβ”€ High confidence (β‰₯70%) β†’ Apply edit (85ms)
44
+ └─ Low confidence (<70%) β†’ Fallback to LLM (26s)
45
+ ```
46
+
47
+ ## Implementation Challenges
48
+
49
+ ### Challenge 1: CLI vs MCP Architecture
50
+
51
+ **Problem**: Agent Booster is designed for **exact code replacements**, but CLI agents receive **vague natural language** tasks.
52
+
53
+ Example:
54
+ ```bash
55
+ # User input (vague)
56
+ npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "convert var to const in utils.js"
57
+
58
+ # What Agent Booster needs (exact)
59
+ {"code":"var x = 1;","edit":"const x = 1;"}
60
+ ```
61
+
62
+ **Solution**: We need an intermediary step that:
63
+ 1. Reads the file
64
+ 2. Uses LLM to generate exact code replacement
65
+ 3. Passes to Agent Booster for fast application
66
+
67
+ But this doesn't save time! We still need the LLM to generate the exact edit.
68
+
69
+ ### Challenge 2: When Agent Booster Actually Helps
70
+
71
+ Agent Booster is fast **only** when you already have the exact code replacement:
72
+
73
+ | Scenario | Agent Booster Helps? | Why |
74
+ |----------|---------------------|-----|
75
+ | User provides exact code | βœ… Yes | Skip LLM entirely (85ms vs 26s) |
76
+ | User provides file + vague task | ❌ No | Still need LLM to generate edit |
77
+ | Batch edits with pattern | ⚠️ Maybe | Need pattern detection first |
78
+
79
+ ### Challenge 3: Remote Package Installation
80
+
81
+ **Current approach**: `npx --yes agent-booster` downloads on first use
82
+
83
+ **Issues**:
84
+ - 30s timeout for download
85
+ - Network dependency
86
+ - User doesn't know it's downloading
87
+ - Fails in air-gapped environments
88
+
89
+ **Better approach**: Add `agent-booster` as optional dependency
90
+
91
+ ## Proposed Solutions
92
+
93
+ ### Option 1: Add Pre-Processing Step (Hybrid)
94
+
95
+ **Pros:**
96
+ - Works with vague natural language
97
+ - Can leverage Agent Booster when applicable
98
+ - Graceful fallback to LLM
99
+
100
+ **Cons:**
101
+ - Complex flow
102
+ - LLM still needed for generating edits
103
+ - Minimal time savings (only skips LLM execution phase)
104
+
105
+ **Implementation:**
106
+ ```typescript
107
+ async function executeWithAgentBooster(task: string, file: string) {
108
+ // Step 1: Use fast LLM to generate exact edit
109
+ const edit = await generateExactEdit(task, file); // 5-10s
110
+
111
+ // Step 2: Try Agent Booster
112
+ const result = await tryAgentBooster(edit);
113
+
114
+ if (result.confidence >= 0.7) {
115
+ return result; // 85ms for applying
116
+ }
117
+
118
+ // Step 3: Fallback to full LLM
119
+ return await executeLLMAgent(task, file); // 26s
120
+ }
121
+ ```
122
+
123
+ **Time saved**: ~1-2s (only application phase)
124
+
125
+ ### Option 2: Add Dependency (Simple)
126
+
127
+ **Pros:**
128
+ - No network delays
129
+ - Works offline
130
+ - Predictable behavior
131
+
132
+ **Cons:**
133
+ - Increases package size (1.4MB for WASM)
134
+ - Installation time increased
135
+ - Makes agent-booster non-optional
136
+
137
+ **Implementation:**
138
+ ```json
139
+ {
140
+ "dependencies": {
141
+ "agent-booster": "^0.1.1"
142
+ }
143
+ }
144
+ ```
145
+
146
+ ### Option 3: Keep MCP-Only (Current State)
147
+
148
+ **Pros:**
149
+ - Clean separation of concerns
150
+ - MCP tools work perfectly for exact edits
151
+ - CLI agents work perfectly for reasoning
152
+ - No complexity added
153
+
154
+ **Cons:**
155
+ - CLI users don't get Agent Booster performance
156
+ - `--agent-booster` flag is misleading
157
+
158
+ **Implementation:**
159
+ - Remove `--agent-booster` flag from CLI
160
+ - Update docs to clarify MCP-only
161
+ - Focus on MCP integration quality
162
+
163
+ ### Option 4: Smart Pattern Detection
164
+
165
+ **Pros:**
166
+ - Detects simple patterns (var→const, add types)
167
+ - Can use Agent Booster without LLM
168
+ - Significant time savings for common tasks
169
+
170
+ **Cons:**
171
+ - Limited to known patterns
172
+ - Complex pattern detection logic
173
+ - May miss edge cases
174
+
175
+ **Implementation:**
176
+ ```typescript
177
+ async function detectPatternAndApply(task: string, file: string) {
178
+ // Detect common patterns
179
+ if (task.includes('var') && task.includes('const')) {
180
+ return await applyVarToConstPattern(file); // 85ms
181
+ }
182
+
183
+ if (task.includes('add types') || task.includes('TypeScript')) {
184
+ return await applyTypeAnnotationPattern(file); // 85ms + pattern detection
185
+ }
186
+
187
+ // Fall back to full LLM
188
+ return await executeLLMAgent(task, file); // 26s
189
+ }
190
+ ```
191
+
192
+ ## Recommendation
193
+
194
+ **Choose Option 3: Keep MCP-Only**
195
+
196
+ **Reasoning:**
197
+
198
+ 1. **Agent Booster's strength**: Exact code replacements
199
+ - Perfect for MCP tools (Claude generates exact code)
200
+ - Poor fit for CLI (user provides vague natural language)
201
+
202
+ 2. **Time savings reality**:
203
+ - MCP: 85ms (skip LLM entirely) βœ…
204
+ - CLI: Still need LLM for edit generation = minimal savings ❌
205
+
206
+ 3. **User experience**:
207
+ - MCP users get 728x speedup for exact edits
208
+ - CLI users get full LLM reasoning for complex tasks
209
+ - Each mode uses the right tool for the job
210
+
211
+ 4. **Maintenance**:
212
+ - Simple, clean architecture
213
+ - No complex hybrid flows
214
+ - Focus on quality, not gimmicks
215
+
216
+ ### What to Change
217
+
218
+ 1. **Remove misleading flag**:
219
+ ```typescript
220
+ // DELETE: .option('--agent-booster', ...)
221
+ ```
222
+
223
+ 2. **Update README**:
224
+ ```markdown
225
+ ## Agent Booster
226
+
227
+ Agent Booster provides 728x faster code edits through the **MCP server** (for Claude Desktop/Cursor).
228
+
229
+ ⚠️ **CLI users**: The `--agent` mode uses standard LLM reasoning and does NOT use Agent Booster. This is by design - use Claude Desktop/Cursor for Agent Booster performance.
230
+ ```
231
+
232
+ 3. **Focus on MCP quality**:
233
+ - Improve MCP tool descriptions
234
+ - Add more examples
235
+ - Better error messages
236
+
237
+ ## Alternative: Limited CLI Integration
238
+
239
+ If we **must** have CLI integration, here's the minimal viable approach:
240
+
241
+ ### Pattern-Based CLI (Limited Scope)
242
+
243
+ Only support explicit patterns with `--pattern` flag:
244
+
245
+ ```bash
246
+ # Explicit pattern (works with Agent Booster)
247
+ npx agentic-flow --agent coder --pattern var-to-const --file utils.js
248
+ # Result: 85ms
249
+
250
+ # Vague task (uses LLM)
251
+ npx agentic-flow --agent coder --task "improve error handling" --file utils.js
252
+ # Result: 26s
253
+ ```
254
+
255
+ **Supported patterns**:
256
+ - `var-to-const`: Convert var to const/let
257
+ - `add-types`: Add TypeScript type annotations
258
+ - `arrow-functions`: Convert function() to () =>
259
+ - `async-await`: Convert callbacks to async/await
260
+
261
+ **Implementation**:
262
+ ```typescript
263
+ const patterns = {
264
+ 'var-to-const': async (file: string) => {
265
+ const code = fs.readFileSync(file, 'utf-8');
266
+ const edit = code.replace(/\bvar\b/g, 'const'); // Simplified
267
+ return await applyAgentBooster(code, edit);
268
+ }
269
+ };
270
+
271
+ if (options.pattern && patterns[options.pattern]) {
272
+ return await patterns[options.pattern](options.file);
273
+ }
274
+ ```
275
+
276
+ **Pros**:
277
+ - Clear what works with Agent Booster
278
+ - Fast for supported patterns
279
+ - No false expectations
280
+
281
+ **Cons**:
282
+ - Limited pattern support
283
+ - Requires pattern knowledge
284
+ - Not natural language
285
+
286
+ ## Validation Strategy
287
+
288
+ Before implementing ANY solution:
289
+
290
+ 1. **Test locally** with exact use cases
291
+ 2. **Publish to test npm registry** or local registry
292
+ 3. **Install from npm** (not local files)
293
+ 4. **Test in clean environment** (Docker container)
294
+ 5. **Verify performance claims** with real benchmarks
295
+
296
+ ### Test Checklist
297
+
298
+ - [ ] MCP server tools work remotely (Claude Desktop)
299
+ - [ ] CLI `--agent` mode works as expected
300
+ - [ ] `npx agent-booster` CLI works standalone
301
+ - [ ] No network timeouts or failures
302
+ - [ ] Performance matches claims
303
+ - [ ] Works in air-gapped environment (if dependency)
304
+
305
+ ## Conclusion
306
+
307
+ **Recommended approach**: Keep Agent Booster as **MCP-only** (Option 3)
308
+
309
+ **Why**: Agent Booster is designed for exact code replacements, which works perfectly with MCP tools but poorly with CLI natural language tasks. Trying to force CLI integration would add complexity without significant benefit.
310
+
311
+ **Action items**:
312
+ 1. Remove misleading `--agent-booster` CLI flag
313
+ 2. Update documentation to clarify MCP-only
314
+ 3. Focus on making MCP integration excellent
315
+ 4. Let CLI mode use standard LLM reasoning (what it's good at)
316
+
317
+ This keeps the architecture clean, user expectations clear, and each mode focused on what it does best.
