Radar Sidebar

A thread list you can read at a glance, for BB.

What you get

• A Radar thread list in the left sidebar. Threads group by Today, Yesterday, Previous 7 days, Previous 30 days or Older, keyed off real activity rather than when you last opened them, so merely reading a thread never floats it to the top. Group by project or by section instead with one toggle, and reorder projects by dragging them.
• Attention states you cannot miss. Working, needs-you, failed and finished-but-unread each get their own icon, status word, colour and row treatment. Rows needing a decision wash amber or red and breathe a slow glow; motion is reserved for things that need action, so movement always means something.
• Nested families. Child threads sit under their parent with indent guides, and a family sorts by its freshest activity. Fold one and the summary tells you how many are hidden, how many are unseen, and the loudest state inside.
• Rows that carry their context. Provider icon, model and thinking level while a thread is in flight, plus a branch line you can copy and a pull-request badge that opens in your browser. Pause on a row for a peek card with the original goal and a stacked context-window meter.
• Radar navigation above the list: New thread, your inline destinations and More for the rest. It shows inline exactly what you set inline in BB's own "Customize sidebar", and writes back to the same store, so arranging in either surface carries over.
• For working fast. Status filter chips, saved smart views, a text filter, comfortable or compact density, keyboard traversal with quick archive and pin, multi-select bulk actions, and drag a thread onto a section header to file it.

How it works

The plugin is frontend-only. It reads BB's live sidebar state and routes every mutation through BB's own flows, so pins, archives and deletions behave exactly as they do in the stock list, and nothing about your threads changes — only how the sidebar presents them. It makes no network requests of its own, keeps no database, and stores no secrets.

Pick it under Settings → Appearance → Sidebar and Navigation; choosing BB there, or disabling the plugin, restores the stock sidebar immediately.

Two limits worth knowing: it will not move a thread between projects, because BB's thread API exposes no project on update, and it shows model and thinking only while a thread is actually running, because the options endpoint resolves defaults rather than history.

For agents

The bundled skill documents the groups, filters, folding, badges, menus, settings and storage keys, so an agent can explain or troubleshoot the sidebar without guessing at internals.
