Prompt library

Open + → Prompts… or press Ctrl+R in a composer. Search matches starred prompts and recent history. Select Thread, Project, or All; the scope is remembered per composer kind on this device. The new-thread composer offers Project and All. Arrow keys select, Tab switches scope, Enter inserts, and Escape closes. Desktop shows a full Markdown preview beside the list; narrow layouts open the preview when a row is tapped, with Back and Insert.

Click the star or press Cmd/Ctrl+S to star or unstar the selected prompt. Star current draft saves the draft. Starred prompts keep text and mentions, deduplicate by text, persist across reloads, and sort by most recent use. History attachments are retained when restoring into an empty composer. Starred prompts omit attachments. A nonempty composer receives text and mentions at the kept cursor. Inserting never sends a message.

The first search loads and indexes all prompt history; later searches fetch only newer prompts. Each query word, ignoring case, must match a single word of the prompt: exactly, as its start, with one typo (words of four or more letters), inside it, or as an abbreviation that starts at its first letter (tmln finds timeline). Letters are never matched across words. Results include up to 20 starred and 30 recent prompts in scope. Without a query, starred prompts come first, then recent ones. A query returns one ranked list: prompts that start with the query first, then by match type in that order, then starred prompts and prompts of the composer's kind (prompts that started a thread in the new-thread composer, follow-ups in a thread composer), then by relevance (rarer words, repeated words, and shorter prompts score higher) decayed by age with a seven-day half-life; a starred prompt's age counts from its last use. A starred prompt appears once, as its starred row. History contains user prompts; core records them without agent-only input. Prompts stay searchable until the server restarts, even if their thread is deleted.

CLI and SDK

• bb prompts search [query...] [--project ID | --thread ID] [--composer new-thread|follow-up] [--json]; --composer defaults to follow-up
• bb prompts list [--json]
• bb prompts star <text...> [--json]
• bb prompts unstar <id> [--json]

Use bb.sdk.plugins.callRpc({ pluginId: "bb--prompt-library", method, input }): search takes { query, scope: "thread" | "project" | "global", projectId, threadId, composer: "new-thread" | "follow-up" } with nullable IDs and returns { prompts }, each row with kind: "starred" | "recent"; star takes { prompt: { text, mentions } }; unstar and markUsed take { id }.

The bundled plugin is disabled by default. Enable it in Settings → Plugins or with bb plugin enable bb--prompt-library. Its Search prompts shortcut is rebindable in Keyboard Settings. Plugins can page through the same core history with bb.sdk.experimental_promptHistory.list({ cursor, limit }).
