Contributing to LibreFang Registry

Thank you for helping grow the LibreFang ecosystem! This guide explains how to add or update content for each type.

General Workflow

1. Fork & clone the repository
2. Create a branch: git checkout -b feat/add-my-content
3. Add or edit files in the appropriate directory
4. Run validation: python scripts/validate.py
5. Submit a Pull Request

Adding an Agent

Create a directory agents/<name>/ with an agent.toml file:

name = "my-agent"
version = "0.1.0"
description = "What this agent does"
author = "your-name"
module = "builtin:chat"

[model]
provider = "default"
model = "default"
max_tokens = 4096
temperature = 0.7
system_prompt = """Your system prompt here."""

[capabilities]
tools = ["web_search", "file_read"]

Agent Checklist

• name matches the directory name
• description is clear and concise (one sentence)
• system_prompt provides clear behavioral instructions
• tools only lists tools the agent actually needs
• Routing aliases (if any) are relevant and don't conflict with existing agents

Adding a Hand

Create a directory hands/<name>/ with a HAND.toml file and optionally a SKILL.md:

id = "my-hand"
name = "My Hand"
description = "What this hand does"
category = "productivity"  # communication | content | data | development | devops | finance | productivity | research | social
icon = "🔧"

tools = ["tool1", "tool2"]

[routing]
aliases = ["activate my hand", "do the thing"]

[agent]
name = "my-hand-agent"
module = "builtin:chat"
system_prompt = """Your agent prompt here."""

[[settings]]
key = "some_setting"
label = "Setting Label"
setting_type = "toggle"
default = "true"

Hand Checklist

• id matches the directory name
• category is valid (communication, content, data, development, devops, finance, productivity, research, social)
• tools lists all required tools
• [agent] section has a complete system prompt
• [[requires]] sections list any external dependencies (binaries, services)
• [[settings]] sections provide user-configurable options where appropriate

Adding an Integration

Create a file integrations/<name>.toml:

id = "my-service"
name = "My Service"
description = "What this integration provides"
category = "devtools"  # devtools | communication | storage | monitoring | data
icon = "🔌"
tags = ["relevant", "tags"]

[transport]
type = "stdio"
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@some/mcp-server"]

[[required_env]]
name = "MY_SERVICE_API_KEY"
label = "API Key"
help = "Get your key from https://..."
is_secret = true
get_url = "https://my-service.com/settings/api-keys"

setup_instructions = """
1. Get an API key from ...
2. Paste it into the field above.
"""

Integration Checklist

• id matches the filename (without .toml)
• [transport] section is correct (test the MCP server command locally)
• [[required_env]] lists all needed environment variables
• setup_instructions are clear enough for first-time users
• is_secret = true for any sensitive values (API keys, tokens)

Adding a Skill

Create a directory skills/<name>/ with a skill.toml and optionally implementation files:

Prompt-only Skill

[skill]
name = "my-skill"
version = "0.1.0"
description = "What this skill does"
author = "your-name"
tags = ["relevant", "tags"]

[runtime]
type = "promptonly"

[input]
param1 = { type = "string", description = "Description", required = true }

[prompt]
template = """Your prompt template using {{param1}}."""

Python Skill

[skill]
name = "my-skill"
version = "0.1.0"
description = "What this skill does"

[runtime]
type = "python"
entry = "main.py"

Plus a main.py with your implementation.

Skill Checklist

• name matches the directory name
• [runtime].type is promptonly or python
• [input] section documents all parameters
• Prompt-only skills have a [prompt].template with correct {{param}} placeholders
• Python skills include all required files

Adding or Updating a Provider / Model

Edit the appropriate provider file in providers/. If the provider doesn't exist, create a new file.

[provider]
id = "my-provider"
display_name = "My Provider"
api_key_env = "MY_PROVIDER_API_KEY"
base_url = "https://api.my-provider.com"
key_required = true

[[models]]
id = "model-id"
display_name = "Model Name"
tier = "smart"                  # frontier | smart | balanced | fast | local
context_window = 128000
max_output_tokens = 16384
input_cost_per_m = 2.50         # USD per million input tokens
output_cost_per_m = 10.0        # USD per million output tokens
supports_tools = true
supports_vision = false
supports_streaming = true
aliases = ["short-name"]

Provider Checklist

• python scripts/validate.py passes
• No duplicate model IDs
• Pricing is in USD per million tokens
• Tier is one of: frontier, smart, balanced, fast, local
• context_window and max_output_tokens are positive integers
• Boolean capability fields are correct
• Pricing verified from official source

Guidelines

• Don't guess -- only add data you can verify from official sources
• Keep descriptions concise -- one sentence that explains the purpose
• Test locally -- try your content with LibreFang before submitting
• One PR per content type -- don't mix agent additions with provider updates
• Keep aliases short -- 1-3 word abbreviations users would naturally type
