Agentic Mermaid

Draws Mermaid diagrams in chat with outlined boxes, routed edges, and your theme's colors. Renders 15 diagram types, including gantt, pie, mindmap, timeline, and architecture, through the agentic-mermaid library. Git graphs and types it can't draw keep bb's own renderer. Diagrams recolor when you switch between light and dark mode. Relies on bb internals, so a bb update can return diagrams to the stock renderer until the plugin catches up.

What you get

Every ```mermaid block in chat and in Markdown file previews renders with agentic-mermaid: boxes, participants, and group frames have visible outlines, and edges route around nodes at right angles.
15 diagram types: flowchart, state, sequence, class, ER, gantt, pie, mindmap, timeline, user journey, quadrant, XY chart, architecture, and radar.
Git graphs, diagram types agentic-mermaid can't draw (such as sankey), and diagrams with syntax errors keep bb's own renderer, including its source view for broken diagrams.
bb's block controls keep working: the source toggle, copy, and the full-screen pan and zoom view.

Follows your theme

Diagram colors come from your active bb theme's text, accent, and surface colors. Switching between light and dark mode recolors diagrams already on screen.

How it works

bb has no plugin slot for Mermaid blocks, so the plugin swaps the render function of the Mermaid module bb already loads. Diagrams bb drew before the plugin loaded are redrawn in place.
The plugin's own backend serves agentic-mermaid in per-diagram-type pieces. The browser downloads only the types a conversation uses, so bb's page load grows by about 6 KB.
Rendering runs in agentic-mermaid's strict mode: no network requests, and labels are escaped.

Requirements

bb 0.43 or later.
No account, API key, or external service.
The plugin depends on bb internals that can change between bb releases. If a release changes them, the plugin does nothing and bb's stock renderer stays in place.
Pie charts use agentic-mermaid's own blue palette rather than your theme's accent.

Chat FindPress Ctrl+F (Cmd+F on Mac) in any bb chat to find words in the conversation, with every match highlighted where it appears. Enter and Shift+Enter step through matches, and the chat scrolls each one clear of the composer, including matches inside bold text, links, and syntax-highlighted code. The count updates while an agent is still replying, without losing your place. Escape closes the bar and puts the cursor back where it was. It searches the messages the chat has loaded, leaves Ctrl+F to the embedded browser and terminals when they have focus, and needs no account or external service.New Conductor ThemeApplies the Conductor workspace aesthetic across bb with roasted espresso and native black surfaces, warm brown message cards, bone typography, and emerald accents.57 GitHub ProjectsCreates and imports GitHub repositories directly from BB's native project picker. Injects dedicated creation and import options into the project dropdown. Automatically initializes private repositories, clones locally, and registers projects in BB with one click. Also provides the bb gh-project CLI and agent skill.21 Live MarkdownEdit Markdown right in the side panel, with formatting rendered as you type and saves that change only the characters you typed. Tables stay tables while you edit: click a cell to change its raw Markdown in place, Tab to the next cell, and Tab past the last one to add a row. Every save checks the file's hash first, so a file an agent changed while you typed asks you to keep your version or load the disk version instead of being overwritten. It becomes the opener for .md, .mdx and .markdown files on install unless you already chose one under Settings, and needs bb 0.43 or later with no account or external service.New
