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.

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 | $0.00000 | $0.00486 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00243 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00097 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00049 |
Grade A, and why
workbench 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 today.
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
workbench
Maple (examples/demo-bank) plus whole-graph dev source aliasing plus a
dev-only internals pane behind VENDO_WORKBENCH=1 (server env; unset means
zero diagnostic parts on the wire). Shipped in PR #1130.
Run
pnpm install && pnpm build # once — dist must exist; @vendoai/vendo/store stays dist-pinned, so edits there need a rebuild
VENDO_WORKBENCH=1 pnpm --filter demo-bank dev
open http://localhost:3000
Pane docks right: Timeline / Context / Tools / Guard / Raw, plus a turn selector.
Loop
Chat → read the pane → edit packages/*/src (loop.ts, compaction.ts,
vendo.ts are the usual suspects — note packages/vendo/src/harnesses/vendo/ is
an author-involved zone per its CLAUDE.md) → save → the next message runs the
edit. In-flight turns finish on the old code.
Levers
MAPLE_HARNESS=context-e2e— 32k context window, so a few messages reach compaction.- Ask Maple to build something to watch a screen-agent run (tagged, 10-step cap).
- The "demo feed" button replays a canned turn for pane-UI work without spending tokens.
Architecture, three lines
Harness sink packages/vendo/src/harnesses/workbench.ts → transient
data-vendo-debug parts (never persisted) → ui feed store
packages/vendo/src/ui/chrome/workbench-store.ts (20-turn retention) → pane in
examples/demo-bank/src/components/vendo/workbench/.
Measuring
After a harness change, pnpm build, then the genbench skill for
before/after scores (genbench reads built dists).
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.

workbench is a skill published in the GitHub repository runvendo/vendo (601 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 486 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
memory
Use durable BB memory when prior project knowledge or cross-project user preferences can improve the current task, and save durable new learning through the bb memory CLI.
workflows
Execute a workflow script that orchestrates multiple subagents deterministically. Use when the user explicitly requests a workflow, multi-agent orchestration, parallel or sequential agent pipelines, structured agent outputs, or a durable background workflow run.
submit-a-plugin
Submit a bb plugin to the BB Community marketplace. Use whenever a user asks to submit, list, publish, or add a plugin to the BB marketplace, or asks for a marketplace pull request. This skill validates the plugin and release, creates the marketplace entry and icon, and opens the pull request.
secrets
Securely request API keys, access tokens, passwords, webhook secrets, or other credentials and write them to a dotenv file without exposing their values to the agent. Use whenever a task needs a credential that the user must supply.
analyze-bundle
Convert Next.js bundle analyzer data to NDJSON and explore it.
regex-mastery
Use this skill when writing regular expressions, debugging pattern matching,optimizing regex performance, or implementing text validation. Triggers on regex, regular expressions, pattern matching, lookahead, lookbehind, named groups, capture groups, backreferences, and any task requiring text pattern matching.
