At a glance

Show a newly created or updated HTML demo, chart, or report, or Markdown plan, summary, or notes from the workspace or thread storage inline in BB chat with the inline-vis directive.

What it does

Inline Vis is an agent skill from get-bb/bb. Show a newly created or updated HTML demo, chart, or report, or Markdown plan, summary, or notes from the workspace or thread storage inline in BB chat with the inline-vis directive.

Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office. The repository describes itself as: The agent IDE that builds itself. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Documents & Office work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/inline-vis”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 68a1e8b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Inline Vis loads about 614 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 300 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~614

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Show a newly created or updated HTML demo, chart, or report, or Markdown plan, summary, or notes from the workspace or thread storage inline in BB chat with the inline-vis directive.

Inline previews

When the user should see an HTML demo or a Markdown document inline in the assistant message, write (or update) a source-relative file, then emit this message directive as its own block (not inside a fenced code block):

text
::inline-vis{file="demo.html"}
::inline-vis{file="notes.md"}

Omitting source defaults to the workspace. Explicit source="workspace" is equivalent. For a read-only thread-storage artifact, write the document to $BB_THREAD_STORAGE/reports/result.html, then emit its storage-relative path:

text
::inline-vis{source="thread-storage" file="reports/result.html"}

Rules

  • source is optional and must be workspace or thread-storage.
  • file is relative to the selected source (e.g. demo.html, charts/out.html, notes.md). Workspace paths are relative to the current workspace; thread-storage paths are relative to $BB_THREAD_STORAGE. Never put an absolute path in the directive.
  • height is optional and sets the preview height in pixels. It must be a whole number from 120 through 1200; omit it for the 224px default.
  • .html, .htm, .md, and .markdown files are accepted.
  • Inline and external CSS/JavaScript are supported in HTML. Remote images, fonts, media, fetches, and WebSockets are also allowed subject to normal browser CORS, mixed-content, and remote-server policies. Scripts execute in an opaque-origin iframe and cannot access the bb page, cookies, or storage. Markdown uses BB's renderer with sanitized HTML support.
  • Keep files small (under the sidebar preview's 5 MiB document limit).
  • Emit the directive only after the file exists on disk in the selected source.
  • Prefer thread-storage for read-only generated reports and other artifacts that should not modify the workspace.
  • Do not put the directive inside backticks or a markdown code fence, or it stays literal text.
  • Incomplete streaming syntax stays literal until the closing } arrives — emit a complete directive in one piece when possible.

The bb app replaces the directive with an inline preview. If the plugin is disabled or the path is invalid, users see the original directive source or an inline error from the plugin.
