Boomerang Init

Description

Initialize and personalize Boomerang agents for your project. Run once at project start, and again anytime you want to refresh agents as the project evolves.

Usage: /boomerang-init

Hard Rules for Agent Customization

PROTECTED: Core Prompting

The following elements are PROTECTED and must NEVER be modified, removed, or replaced by boomerang-init:

1. The 6-Step Boomerang Protocol — Memory → Think → Delegate → Git Check → Quality Gates → Save Memory
2. Agent selection rules — Which agent types route to which sub-agents
3. Mandatory step ordering — super-memory query first, sequential thinking second
4. Quality gate requirements — lint → typecheck → test enforcement
5. Sub-agent requirements — super-memory and sequential-thinking mandates in prompts

PERMITTED: Append-Only Customizations

boomerang-init MAY only append to the following:

1. Agent personas — Add project-specific domain context to the END of agent descriptions
2. Tool preferences — Add project-specific tool recommendations
3. Conventions — Add coding standards and patterns
4. Success metrics — Add project-specific definitions of success

Forbidden Operations

boomerang-init must NEVER:

• Delete or replace agent system prompts
• Remove quality gate requirements
• Skip or reorder mandatory protocol steps
• Remove super-memory or sequential-thinking requirements
• Change agent routing logic
• Modify the core orchestrator instructions

Customization Format

When customizing an agent, use this append-only format:

## Project-Specific Context (Appended by boomerang-init)

### Domain
[Project domain description]

### Conventions
- [Convention 1]
- [Convention 2]

### Stakeholders
- [Who uses this project]

### Success Metrics
- [What good looks like]

This ensures all customizations are additive and can be easily identified and removed if needed.

What It Does

1. Analyzes your project - Examines structure, language, README, package.json
2. Identifies project type - Determines if special agents are needed
3. Customizes base agents - Tailors prompts to your project context
4. Creates project-specific agents - Adds specialists for your domain
5. Updates AGENTS.md - Documents your custom agent team

Tiered Memory Protocol

This project uses a tiered memory architecture with two modes:

• Fast Reply (TIERED): Quick MiniLM search with BGE fallback for speed
• Archivist (PARALLEL): Dual-tier search with RRF fusion for maximum recall

When Saving:

• Routine work (quick analyses, Explorations): Use standard super-memory_add_memory
• High-value work (agent customizations established, project conventions discovered, session context): Use super-memory_add_memory with a descriptive project tag

When Searching:

• Default searches use the configured strategy automatically
• For explicit control: super-memory_query_memories with strategy: "tiered" (Fast Reply) or strategy: "vector_only" (Archivist)

When to Use

• First time setup: /boomerang-init when starting a new project
• Periodic refresh: Run again months later as project changes
• Adding features: Re-run after significant scope changes
• Agent drift: If agents feel out of sync with project needs

Project Types

Select your project type for tailored agents:

General Development

Base Boomerang agents work great for most projects.

Sports Betting / Gambling

• data-scientist: Statistical analysis, model validation
• sharp-gambler: Line shopping, value detection, market analysis
• odds-calculator: Implied probabilities, fair odds, edge calculation
• risk-manager: Bankroll management, exposure limits

Resume / Career

• resume-analyst: ATS optimization, keyword analysis
• career-coach: Growth advice, skill gaps, career path
• interview-prep: Mock interviews, questions, answers
• cover-letter-writer: Tailored cover letters

E-commerce / Retail

• inventory-manager: Stock levels, reorder points, forecasting
• pricing-analyst: Competitive pricing, margin optimization
• customer-segmenter: RFM analysis, segmentation

SaaS / Product

• growth-hacker: Acquisition, activation, retention
• churn-predictor: Risk scoring, intervention triggers
• feature-prioritizer: ICE scoring, impact/effort matrix

Data Science / ML

• ml-engineer: Model development, feature engineering
• data-analyst: EDA, visualizations, insights
• model-evaluator: A/B testing, statistical significance

Documentation / Content

• technical-writer: Docs, READMEs, API docs
• content-strategist: Blog topics, SEO, engagement

Execution Flow

1. Examine project structure
2. Check for existing .opencode/agents/
3. Determine project type (or ask user)
4. Customize base agent prompts
5. Create project-specific agents
6. Update AGENTS.md with team
7. Report what was created/changed

Customization Process

Step 1: Project Analysis

Examine these files for context:

• package.json / Cargo.toml / go.mod - Language/framework
• README.md - Project purpose
• src/ directory structure - Main domains
• .github/ - CI/CD (shows deployment type)
• docs/ - Documentation patterns

Step 2: Determine Project Type

If project type is unclear, ask user:

What type of project is this?
1. General web development
2. Sports betting / gambling app
3. Resume / career tool
4. E-commerce
5. SaaS / product
6. Data science / ML
7. Other (describe)

Step 3: Customize Base Agents

For each base agent, add project-specific context:

boomerang.md additions:

• Project domain context
• Key stakeholders/users
• Important conventions noted
• Success metrics for this project

build.md additions:

• Language/framework specifics
• Project coding standards
• Important patterns to follow
• What "good code" looks like here

plan.md additions:

• Architectural decision patterns
• Technical constraints
• Scale considerations
• Trade-off priorities

Step 4: Create Project-Specific Agents

Based on project type, create new agents:

.opencode/agents/
├── [project-type]-data-scientist.md  (if applicable)
├── [project-type]-specialist.md      (if applicable)
└── ...

Each specialized agent gets:

• Domain-specific system prompt
• Relevant tools for the domain
• Project context baked in

Step 5: Update AGENTS.md

Add new agents to documentation:

## Project-Specific Agents

| Agent | File | Role |
|-------|------|------|
| data-scientist | *.md | Statistical analysis... |

Re-running the Skill

The skill should be idempotent - running multiple times should:

• Update existing agents if project has changed
• Add new agents if scope expanded
• Remove agents for abandoned features
• Preserve customizations you've made

Detection logic:

1. Compare current agents to project type
2. Identify what changed
3. Only update what's needed
4. Preserve manual customizations

Output Format

After running, report:

## Boomerang Init Complete

### Project Type: [Type]
### Agents Customized:
- boomerang.md (added context)
- build.md (added patterns)
- plan.md (added constraints)

### New Agents Created:
- [agent-name].md (project-specific role)

### Existing Agents Updated:
- [list of updated files]

### Next Steps:
1. Review AGENTS.md
2. Customize any agents further
3. Start coding!

Fallback Behavior

If no project type matches:

• Keep base agents as-is
• Add generic "domain-expert" agent
• Ask user what specialized agents they want

File Modifications

This skill modifies:

• .opencode/agents/*.md - Agent definitions
• AGENTS.md - Agent documentation

It does NOT modify:

• Source code
• Configuration files
• Existing project files
