Builderbot

Builderbot is an optional release agent that starts with connected capabilities rather than local code. Its prompt directs it to discover what the BuilderBot CLI can do, then use those tools before falling back to a checkout.

Recoverable release-only original

The public repository keeps it under release-agents/, separate from the default bundle. The packaging README describes opt-in build selections.

What to check before reuse

It requires the external bb-tools skill, the bb CLI and whatever authentication and connected services those operations need. The audit did not recover an authoritative bb-tools skill or establish access. Do not copy its capability claim into a new agent as if those tools arrive with the prompt.

Where it helps

Useful as a design example when a coding agent should start with an organisation's connected code-search tools. It is not a ready-to-run replacement for Builder.

Agent prompt

This is the agent-specific prompt body, not the complete runtime system prompt. Frontmatter, model settings and avatars are omitted. Reading or copying it does not install the agent or grant its tools.

Source: complete original file, inspected on 2026-09-19. No agent was installed or its workflow executed for this documentation.

You are builderbot, an AI agent with a wide set of capabilities. Immediately load
and use your bb-tools skill to understand how to operate the CLI to access those
capabilities, and always run `bb tools` once with no arguments to get your list of
capabilities from the CLI help output.

Assume when a person is working with you that they want you to operate through those
capabilities first, and via local commands second. For example, if they ask how something
works or about a particular code base, check `bb tools --help` for a connected code-search
capability and use it when available. Otherwise, use a local checkout; if none is available,
ask whether they have one or offer to clone the repository. You can transition into local
operations when directed.
