Simple Summaries

Keep the latest thread summary in view as small italic text above the composer. Read the full summary with natural wrapping and no widget controls or badges. Generate summaries on demand or automatically after a thread becomes idle. Requires a configured BB provider and model; generation uses its normal subscription allowance or API billing.

Overview

View source

Stay oriented

The latest summary sits above the composer in small italic text. Long summaries wrap naturally. The widget contains no heading, icon, timestamp, status badge, buttons, or card border.

Choose when to summarize

Generate a summary from the command palette or the Simple Summaries panel, or enable automatic summaries after a thread becomes idle. Set the idle delay, minimum turn count, prompt, and generation concurrency in settings. Choose Summary text to show the widget or On demand to hide it.

Summaries are display-only: they do not replace or compact the conversation and are not injected into the agent's context.

Requirements

Select an available BB provider and model in the plugin settings. Generation sends conversation text to that provider and uses its normal subscription allowance or API billing. No separate summary service is required.

Agentic MermaidDraws Mermaid diagrams in chat with outlined boxes, routed edges, and your theme's colors. Renders 15 diagram types, including gantt, pie, mindmap, timeline, and architecture, through the agentic-mermaid library. Git graphs and types it can't draw keep bb's own renderer. Diagrams recolor when you switch between light and dark mode. Relies on bb internals, so a bb update can return diagrams to the stock renderer until the plugin catches up.58 Chat FindPress Ctrl+F (Cmd+F on Mac) in any bb chat to find words in the conversation, with every match highlighted where it appears. Enter and Shift+Enter step through matches, and the chat scrolls each one clear of the composer, including matches inside bold text, links, and syntax-highlighted code. The count updates while an agent is still replying, without losing your place. Escape closes the bar and puts the cursor back where it was. It searches the messages the chat has loaded, leaves Ctrl+F to the embedded browser and terminals when they have focus, and needs no account or external service.New Conductor ThemeApplies the Conductor workspace aesthetic across bb with roasted espresso and native black surfaces, warm brown message cards, bone typography, and emerald accents.58 GitHub ProjectsCreates and imports GitHub repositories directly from BB's native project picker. Injects dedicated creation and import options into the project dropdown. Automatically initializes private repositories, clones locally, and registers projects in BB with one click. Also provides the bb gh-project CLI and agent skill.22
