# bstack — the Broomva Stack (primitives primer) **A portable harness metalayer for AI-native development.** Twenty irreducible primitives that turn any agent-driven workspace into a self-operating system. Each primitive closes one failure mode that otherwise drifts into entropy in unsupervised agent sessions. > **This file is the agent-readable *primer*, not the CLI.** It teaches you the > primitive contract so you can reason with it. The bstack CLI + governance substrate > (the `bstack` binary, `doctor`, templates, hooks, schemas) is a **separate product**: > > ```bash > git clone https://github.com/broomva/bstack.git > cd bstack && ./bin/bstack bootstrap > ``` > > Do **not** `npx skills add broomva/bstack` — bstack has a repo-root `SKILL.md` > beside `bin/`, so skills.sh copies only that file and drops the CLI > ([vercel-labs/skills#1523](https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills/issues/1523)). > `bstack bootstrap` installs the companion-skill roster from **this monorepo**: > `npx skills add broomva/skills --skill <name>` per entry. ## Referencing primitives Use the `Name (Pn)` form in prose — *"applying Snapshot (P15)"*, *"via Dep-Chain (P14)"*, *"running Bookkeeping (P6)"*. The number is the canonical id; the name is the human handle. **Short-name index:** Bridge (P1) · Gate (P2) · Tickets (P3) · Pipeline (P4) · Fanout (P5) · Bookkeeping (P6) · Freshness (P7) · Janitor (P8) · Wait (P9) · Hygiene (P10) · Empirical (P11) · Persist (P12) · Dream (P13) · Dep-Chain (P14) · S
