# Bi — Minimal design. Lighter office work.

> v0.1.0

Bi is a minimal local agent: pick a folder, tell it what you need, and it plans, acts and delivers.

Below is the index of the documentation.

## Docs

- [Installation](https://bi.dev/en/docs/getting-started/installation): Download and first-run Bi. Nothing to install — just download and run.
- [Quick start](https://bi.dev/en/docs/getting-started/quickstart): Walk through one full Bi task loop in five minutes.
- [Configuration overview](https://bi.dev/en/docs/configuration/overview): How the config files are laid out and what each switch does.
- [Model providers](https://bi.dev/en/docs/configuration/providers): Configure an OpenAI-compatible endpoint or a local model.
- [Permissions](https://bi.dev/en/docs/configuration/permissions): Tune the authorization boundary for reads, writes and commands.
- [Core tools](https://bi.dev/en/docs/using-bi/tools): The tools an agent can call, and their boundaries.
- [Workspace](https://bi.dev/en/docs/using-bi/workspace): Bound what the agent can reach with a workspace root.
- [Artifacts panel](https://bi.dev/en/docs/using-bi/artifacts): Preview everything the agent generated, in one place.
- [Skills](https://bi.dev/en/docs/using-bi/skills): Package recurring workflows into reusable skills.
- [Subagents](https://bi.dev/en/docs/using-bi/subagents): Split complex work across parallel agents.
- [Plugins](https://bi.dev/en/docs/using-bi/plugins): Extend the agent's capabilities with a three-file plugin bundle.
- [Terminal](https://bi.dev/en/docs/using-bi/terminal): The boundary between the built-in shell panel and the agent's exec tool.
