bb

Why we included this project

bb is an agentic IDE built on the idea that the development environment itself can be controlled and extended by agents. Rather than a chat pane bolted onto an editor, it offers the desktop app, web app, CLI, and HTTP API as equal ways to launch work, and you can watch a task run, redirect it mid-stream, or pass it to another agent. For teams curious about building their own software factory, the self-modifying design is the interesting part: bb can change its own surfaces, which makes it a useful sandbox for agent-driven development. It is still early, with the core architecture stable but workflows and surfaces shifting, so it suits developers who are comfortable with nightly builds and a moving target more than teams that need a finished product. The npx install makes it quick to try.
