At a glance

Diagnose automatic retries of BB turns after provider subscription-window limits.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Provider Retry is an agent skill from get-bb/bb. Diagnose automatic retries of BB turns after provider subscription-window limits.

Its SKILL.md is about 180 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: The agent IDE that builds itself. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/provider-retry”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 53c1e87. 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

Provider Retry loads about 183 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 95 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~183

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.

Provider retry

The plugin is enabled on fresh installations. When a turn fails on a structured Codex or Claude Code subscription-window limit with a reset time, it queues the original input verbatim for after the window opens, marked agent-only.

A pending retry is an ordinary durable queued row and survives restart. Inspect it with bb thread queue list <thread-id> and inspect the failed turn before manually retrying it; avoid duplicating an existing queued retry.

Use the core bb thread retry command for an intentional manual retry. Follow its live help for selection and scheduling flags.
