Pinned Files & Links

brsblThread Content
Get it for macOS

Keep a thread's key files and links one click away, in a strip right above the composer. Each pin shows its file icon or site icon and is as wide as its label, with extra pins waiting in a ⋯ list. Type file names or URLs after the Pin pill and the agent finds and pins them; agents also pin the PR, issue, spec and dev server they work with on their own. Right-click a pin to preview, copy, unpin or remove it, and open Moss notes in Moss Viewer when it's installed.

What you get

  • A strip above the composer. Pinned files and links sit in order as quiet raised chips. Each chip is as wide as its label; labels truncate only when the strip runs out of room, and the rest wait in the ⋯ list.
  • Files and links together. Files show bb's file icons. Links show their site's icon and the page title, with a globe for sites that have none, such as a localhost dev server.
  • Agent-assisted pinning. The pin button adds a Pin pill to the composer. Type paths, file names or URLs after it and send; the agent finds each file, asks about any that are ambiguous, and pins them.
  • Key links pinned for you. Agents pin the PR they open, the issue or ticket, the spec they follow, and a dev site or preview they hand you, and remove a dev site's pin when its server stops.

How it works

Click a pin to open it the way bb opens files and links. Right-click a file for Open preview, Open externally, Copy file path and Copy file name, then Unpin to move it to the ⋯ list or Remove, which offers Undo. Pin a file back from the ⋯ list while the strip has room. Missing files stay visible with a light red tint.

With Moss Viewer installed, a pinned Moss note opens in its panel, even when the note lives on another machine, and Open in Moss there opens it for editing.

Pins persist per thread across clients and restarts. Agents and scripts can also run bb file-pins pin, list and remove.

Privacy

Files stay on their machine; pins store only the path, and no file contents are copied or sent to the agent. Link icons are looked up by the link's public HTTPS origin only, never its path or query.

AmbientTurns bb's background into a live scene that shows what your agents are doing at a glance. Each working agent becomes a character in the scene, a thread waiting on you pulses, and a finished turn sends out a ripple that turns red on an error. Describe a scene in your own words and an agent paints it in a new thread, complete with its own sliders, or let a daily automation paint a new one each day. Ten built-in scenes, including Poppy Hill, Koi Pond, and Starry Fjord, each have their own sliders and four-color palette. Runs inside bb with no external service; each painted scene uses one agent turn on your default provider.NewPlugin FinderFind the plugin for your task without leaving the thread. Type # or @ and a keyword to search the plugins you have and the ones in BB Community, then mention the one you want your agent to use. Your agent can also search the catalog itself from the command line.52Color SwatchesShows a color chip beside CSS values in messages, code, and diffs, so you can recognize colors without copying them into another tool.23Context KatamariShows how full each thread's context window is as a katamari that grows with every turn and pops when bb compacts. A floating window gives the open thread a 3D toy-box world whose ball size tracks tokens used against the auto-compact point. The HUD shows tokens used, context left, a bar for each recent turn, and a count of compactions. The cousin rolls while the thread works, drops coins past 50k tokens, and gets dizzier after each compaction. Everything runs inside bb, with synthesized sound you can mute.New
