What it does
Use this when controlling bb. The bb CLI inspects and manages threads, environments, projects, machines, providers, skills, plugins, settings, terminals, and other BB services.
BB CLI
Never inspect or message other threads unless the user explicitly requests that action.
Use bb for BB state and actions. Inspect the current context before you choose IDs, machines, workspaces, providers, or models.
Start with context
bb status --json
Use JSON when command output controls later work. Use human output for quick inspection.
Run bb --version for the CLI version. Use bb --help or bb help [command]
for help. Run bb guide for the system overview. Run bb guide <chapter> for one
area. Use bb <group> --help for current flags and defaults.
A standalone CLI targets http://127.0.0.1:38886. Use BB_SERVER_URL and BB_HOST_DAEMON_PORT only for an intentional non-default target.
