Recursive Execution

The CLI breaks complex tasks into subtasks, executes each one, verifies the result, and recurses until the job is done — no manual intervention needed.

Codebase Awareness

1.1M token context window loads your full codebase, docs, and history. The API sees everything — no chunking or manual embedding required.

Token Optimization

Smart caching, context compression, and deduplication cut token usage by up to 90%. Same quality output at a fraction of the cost.

How it works

From prompt to production in five steps. No config files, no boilerplate.

01.

Describe your goal

Tell Backboard what you want to build, fix, or change. Use plain language — no special syntax needed.

02.

Backboard plans the work

The agent analyzes your codebase, breaks your goal into steps, and creates an execution plan before writing any code.

03.

Watch it execute

Backboard runs each step in sequence — editing files, running commands, and checking results in real time.

04.

Review and verify

Every change is shown to you with a clear diff. Nothing ships without your approval.

05.

Iterate or ship

Refine the output with follow-up prompts or approve the changes and push to production.
