bb is an agentic IDE that lets users control, customize, and automate a software-development environment through a desktop app, web app, command-line interface, or HTTP API. Developers use it to run work in observable threads that can be steered or handed off to other agents. Its catalogue add-ons provide skills and instructions for working with bb.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00024 | $0.00234 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00094 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00047 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00023 |
Grade A, and why
account-pool scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Account Pooler
Use bb pool for this plugin's accounts and routes. Inspect current state with
bb pool status --json and bb pool account list --json before changing routing.
Use bb pool --help for available commands.
For account login/import, secret handling, quota refresh, routing settings, ordering, or failover, read references/accounts-and-routing.md.
Use stdin or supported login/import flows for credentials; never put secret values in command arguments or chat. Confirm the resulting account and routing state. Do not enable the plugin or change accounts unless the requested task calls for it.
Pooled rate-limit failures can be retried by Provider Retry using the pool’s
earliest usable account, even if the provider omits structured quota events.
Inspect bb provider-retry explain <thread-id> --json for the last decision
and bb provider-retry status <thread-id> --json for pending retries.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

account-pool is a skill published in the GitHub repository get-bb/bb (4,324 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 234 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-07.
