Beyond Better 0.11.22

IMPORTANT: Major New Features

🎉 Introducing Skills

Beyond Better now supports Skills — reusable, installable instruction packages that teach BB how to handle specific tasks. Each Skill bundles a set of instructions with optional scripts, reference files, and assets, scoped to a project or your whole workspace.

Install Skills from any public URL (including GitHub repositories and community skill libraries), or use the file browser in BB’s interface to select a local Skill from a markdown or zip file — uploading your own Skill files is also supported. Once installed, Skills live in your library and can be activated on demand mid-conversation, giving BB specialised knowledge exactly when you need it.

Skills are available to all users. Anyone can create and share them, making it easy to encode team workflows and hand them across projects. Browse what’s available — or build your own.

🎉 Introducing Sandboxes with Deno Deploy

Beyond Better now supports Sandboxes — an ephemeral execution environment powered by Deno Deploy that BB can use as a datasource. The Sandbox gives BB a writable workspace filesystem and command execution capability: stage files, run scripts, test code, and transfer results across your other datasources, all within a single conversation.

Skills and Sandboxes are designed to work together. A Skill that includes executable scripts can use the Sandbox as its runtime — unlocking data transformation, code validation, and private API integrations. Enterprise teams can use this combination to build a self-hosted BB API hub.

This release requires your own Deno Deploy account and API key — BB-managed Sandboxes are on the roadmap. There are no tier restrictions; all users can connect a Sandbox today. Set up your account at deno.com/deploy and add your API key in BB Settings.
