Agent Roles

Dmitrii Kapustin Agents & Providers9

Get it for macOS

Create reusable specialist profiles and start focused agent work. Optional Role Picker and Visual Workflows integrations. Agent work uses your configured provider account and quota.

Overview

Give every specialist a clear role

Create reusable profiles with instructions and optional provider, model, reasoning and permission defaults. Start focused threads or file jobs through BB Tasks using the included command reference.

Optional companions

Agent Roles works on its own. Role Picker can apply your profiles to the current composer. Visual Workflows can import profiles and existing legacy team templates as independent copies, then run and inspect visual graphs in its own page.

Existing team data and run history are preserved; legacy CLI commands remain available for migration. The main Agent Roles page now focuses on specialists.

Your settings stay yours

Local Claude agent-file and Tasks-preset synchronization is off by default. Enable it only after reviewing the target directory and settings. Running workers uses your configured provider quotas.

Keep the current pane visible while starting another conversation. Available in wide layouts, up to BB’s pane limit.3 GoalsKeep your personal priorities available when you ask an agent to evaluate an idea or plan. Reorder goals and archive completed ones.

Add, choose, configure, route, or coordinate who runs a thread.

HandoffMoves a whole session between agents and machines in both directions: hands a bb thread's rendered transcript to another provider (optionally on another enrolled machine, carrying uncommitted work as a patch), or adopts a Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI or OpenCode session from your terminal as a bb thread in the same directory.

Bots SidebarKeep specialist bots, their memory, and their conversations together across projects. Organize chats with activity-aware trees, drag-to-bot assignment, and a state editor. Route new project conversations to an owner and coordinate bots with @ mentions or attributed messages. Uses your configured BB providers with no additional service or account. Project-folder creation requires POSIX paths.

BotsAdds a Bots panel to the BB sidebar where you create named bots with their own instructions, provider, model, reasoning level and optional project, then chat with them; each bot's instructions are bound per-thread, so a persona applies only inside that bot's own chats.
