Keep Last Blocks Open

zom-2018Thread Content
Get it for macOS

Keeps the newest work blocks open while the agent works, so the output stays in view without clicks. Blocks count at every depth, so the commands inside a group count toward the limit. After the final answer only the last block stays open. Settings set the running count from 0 to 10, the count after the answer from 0 to 3, and whether Thought rows count. Needs no account or external service.

What you get

  • While a thread runs, its newest 5 work blocks stay expanded, so the latest output is in view without clicks.
  • Blocks count at every depth, in timeline order. A group such as "Ran 2 commands" counts, and so do the commands inside it. For example, with the limit at 5 and three groups of seven commands, the last five commands of the newest group stay open. That group opens to show them, but it takes no slot.
  • When the final answer appears, only the last block stays open. Older blocks fold again.
  • A run you stop before its answer keeps the running count.
  • Your own toggles stay where you put them. The plugin changes a block only when its place in the window changes.

Settings

  • Open blocks while the thread runs: 0 to 10, default 5. 0 turns this mode off.
  • Open blocks after the final answer: 0 to 3, default 1. 0 turns this mode off.
  • Count Thought as a block: on by default. Turn it off to leave Thought rows out of the count.

Changes apply at once, with no reload.

How it works

The plugin runs in the open app. It reads the thread timeline: the row ids, the thread pane, the expand buttons, and the Stop run button. It clicks a block's expand button only when that block's place in the window changes. It needs no account, key, or external service. Its settings are stored in bb on your bb server.

Limits

The plugin depends on bb's timeline markup. A bb update that renames those attributes or the Stop run label can stop the plugin from working. It does not show an error of its own when that happens.

Autoresearch Self LoopLet an agent iterate on one measured metric in your Git checkout, and keep a log of every attempt. Each kept run becomes a commit with its result in the message, and a keep is refused when the benchmark or checks failed. A discarded, crashed, or checks-failed run reverts the agent's changes, including new untracked files that Git does not ignore. Needs Git, a committer identity, a clean working tree when a session starts, and a benchmark that prints METRIC name=value lines.NewPrettyRead structured files with consistent formatting inside BB. Switch between formatted and raw content, and copy the view on screen. Parse errors show their location in the file. Supports JSON, JSON Lines, YAML, TOML, XML, and XML-based formats. Formatting TOML omits comments; the raw view retains them.New

Generative UITurns agent replies into charts, diagrams, maps, plans and forms you can use, right in the chat. Agents choose from 86 components on their own, with no setup: sliders and filters recompute in the page, and buttons, choices and forms put your answers in your message, which reaches the agent when you send it. Test reports, logs, lint errors and coverage files render as their own components instead of pasted text, and a thread's changes, commits, pull request and workers are read live from BB. Adds about 6,400 tokens of instructions to sessions whose replies you read, and looks up photos, places and map tiles on Wikimedia Commons, Wikipedia, Photon and OpenStreetMap unless you turn web lookups off. Relies on BB internals, so a BB update can show the blocks as code until the plugin catches up.ComicBit531
