Role Picker

Dmitrii Kapustin Agents & Providers4

Get it for macOS

Choose a specialist in the composer without leaving the conversation. Includes six built-in roles and optionally connects to Agent Roles for custom profiles. Agent work uses your configured provider account and quota.

Overview

Choose a specialist while writing

Select a role beside the message composer and send normally. The role applies in the same conversation, without creating another chat. Choose no role to return to the general assistant. Your composer model and permission choices stay in effect.

Requirements

Works on its own with six included specialists. Install Agent Roles optionally to select your custom profiles too. Role selections are stored in Role Picker metadata; imported roles remain distinct from built-in roles. This plugin uses a scoped content script around the BB message submission routes because SDK 0.4.87 has no submit middleware. Recheck compatibility after BB updates. Composer actions are hidden in compact mode.

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.
