Bb App
ymichael · Agent
bb is an agentic IDE that orchestrates the coding agents you already have installed. This package starts the bb app on your machine, includes the command line for a running bb server and exports a Node SDK for scripting it. Work runs in threads that you can follow live, steer at any point or hand off to another agent, and each thread uses the provider you choose, which must already be installed and signed in. It is in active development, and its workflows are still evolving.

Why it's useful
You can run several coding agents from one place and watch, steer or hand off their work as it happens.
What you could do with it
- Start bb, add a project and open a thread with the coding agent you want, then follow its work live.
- Script a running bb server from Node to spawn threads in a project.
- Hand a running thread over to another agent partway through the work.
Written from its documentation: what it says it can do, not what our checks found.
Maintenance
Not measuredNo release date is on record for this package yet. The nightly publisher check records one as it reaches each npm package, about once every ten nights.
Release activity only: it says nothing about quality or safety, and a finished small package can be fine without releases. How it is measured
- Licence and provenance
- finding
- no LICENCE file at the root (.)
Published because it was found. A finding is information about where the limits are, not a verdict that the software is unsafe.
What this does not cover
- Everything. Treat it as you would software from anywhere else.

Static scanned
- What it establishes
- Its published package, or for a hosted server its source repository at a recorded commit, was read file by file, without running it, by every check in our current scan.
- What it does not
- How it behaves when it runs, or anything the scan does not read yet: several rubric checks, the repository's history, and compiled code in folders named dist or build. For a hosted server, that the endpoint runs the code that was read. The ooruby Index sets out exactly what was read.
- Exactly what was read
- Version 0.46.0, the file with digest sha512-Pr9vZAIV5FeLvTlYVwodk8Ao2qkJ5j+7WDZbAn6SYnbq8Yv3h3W8ukJ8od6Cuw0QZBHL9sCgVYbF9BclsBF1fg==, as the registry publishes it. A published version cannot be replaced, so this names the same bytes for anyone who checks.
- Authentication
- Runs locally. No hosted endpoint is listed for this package. You run it on your own machine, so there is no endpoint of ours to authenticate against.
Adding it
Run it with:
npx -y -p bb-app@0.46.0 bbPinned to 0.46.0, which is the version the findings above were found in. Drop the version to take whatever is newest, and the report on this page stops describing what you installed.
