README

CLI, Guide, And Skill

Keep the discoverable surfaces in sync whenever you add or change a bb CLI command, flag, or a user-facing configuration knob (env var, .bb/ workspace file, settings field):

  • Update the in-CLI guide templates under packages/templates/src/templates/bb-guide-*.md, then regenerate with node packages/templates/scripts/generate-templates.mjs (the @bb/templates typecheck/test tasks also run it).
  • Update the bb-cli skill at apps/server/src/services/skills/builtin-skills/bb-cli/SKILL.md. Configuration knobs also belong in docs/configuration.md.
  • Match the existing chapter/section style; keep entries concise and accurate against the implementation.
