Bb

What This Skill Does

BullyBuddy (bb) is a powerful orchestration tool for developers using OpenClaw, designed to manage multiple Claude Code sessions from a centralized interface. By utilizing a slash command architecture, it allows users to spawn, monitor, and interact with isolated AI coding sessions without leaving the OpenClaw environment. Whether you are running complex background tasks, testing code in different directories, or managing multiple project contexts simultaneously, BullyBuddy acts as a controller that keeps your AI-driven development lifecycle organized and responsive.

Installation

To get started, ensure you have Node.js installed on your system. Install the CLI tool globally via npm: npm install -g openclaw-bullybuddy. Once installed, initialize the controller by running bullybuddy server. The system will automatically generate a connection file at ~/.bullybuddy/connection.json. OpenClaw detects this configuration automatically upon invocation. For users requiring remote access, simply trigger the server with the --tunnel flag, and use the /bb url command inside OpenClaw to retrieve your unique access point.

Use Cases

BullyBuddy is ideal for developers who engage in multi-tasking. For instance, you can run a refactoring task in one directory while spawning a separate session to troubleshoot an unrelated bug in another. It is particularly useful for CI/CD pipeline simulations, long-running agentic tasks that require frequent status checks, and managing session logs via the audit command. It streamlines the workflow by moving session management out of noisy terminal tabs and into a command-controlled interface.

Example Prompts

1. "/bb spawn ./frontend 'Refactor the navigation bar component to use Tailwind'"
2. "/bb list"
3. "/bb output abc123 50"

Tips & Limitations

To maximize productivity, use the transcript command to review past interactions, which is invaluable for debugging why a specific AI session arrived at a particular conclusion. Be aware that each spawned session consumes system resources proportional to the Claude Code instance's activity. Regularly clean up idle sessions using /bb kill <id> to avoid memory bloat. Note that while BullyBuddy excels at managing the session lifecycle, it is strictly an orchestration layer; you should ensure that the underlying Claude Code environments have appropriate permissions to access the file system paths you provide during the spawn command.
