* fix(creator): raise max_history_messages to 80 for polling workflows
Creator Hand's async video_generate path polls video_status every 15-20s
until completion (1-3 min typical), consuming ~5-15 turns per video
request. Combined workflows (video + TTS + music) plus normal back-and-
forth cross the kernel default of 40 messages quickly, which surfaced
in user logs as:
WARN run_agent_loop: Trimming old messages at safe turn boundary
agent=creator:creator-hand total_messages=41 trimming=2
INFO run_agent_loop: prompt cache metrics for turn
hit_ratio=0.0 creation=0 read=0
Every turn was hitting the trim cap and invalidating the prompt-cache
prefix. 80 covers ~30 polling iterations plus a comfortable pre-context
window without runaway memory growth. Other hands keep the default 40.
* ci(refresh-cache): open PR instead of pushing directly to main
Branch protection on `main` started rejecting the workflow's auto-commit
with GH006 "Changes must be made through a pull request" — see run
25632824585 on 2026-05-10 against commit 6785807 (the first push that
hit the tightened protection). Direct push is precisely what the file's
own security comment (#1) warns against ("Compromised maintainer pushes
a malicious plugins-index.json directly to main. Mitigation: GitHub
branch protection on main requires PR review"), so the fix preserves
that gate rather than working around it.
The workflow now creates a short-lived `automation/refresh-indexes-<sha>`
branch, commits the regen there, pushes, and opens a PR back to main
via `gh pr create`. Maintainers see a one-click squash-merge.
Permissions: add `pull-requests: write` to the existing `contents: write`
so `gh pr create` can be authorised through the default GITHUB_TOKEN.
The post-merge run on the index PR is a no-op (no diff under
`hands/**`, `plugins/**`, etc. between consecutive states), so no
`[skip ci]` marker is needed and no loop is possible.
Without this fix, every content PR landing on main leaves
plugins-index.json + registry-index.json stale, blocking new agents and
hands from reaching daemons until a maintainer manually regenerates.
* fix(hands): raise max_history_messages on long-workflow coordinators
Three hand coordinators have workflows that routinely exceed the kernel
default history cap on a single user turn:
- researcher (max_iterations=80) — deep web_search → web_fetch →
summarize loops with multi-source synthesis. 80 iterations × ~4
messages each → 200+ messages per user turn. Set to 120.
- devops (max_iterations=60) — incident response and CI/CD fan out
into long shell_exec chains (logs, retries, post-mortems). Set to 80.
- predictor (max_iterations=60) — long reasoning chains accumulating
signals across many web/knowledge queries, with scheduled re-checks
referring back. Set to 80.
Creator's existing override is rephrased "raise above the kernel
default" so the comment stays correct regardless of the order this PR
and the upstream kernel-default bump (librefang side) land in.
Other hands (lead/linkedin/reddit/clip/analytics/apitester/browser/
collector/strategist) stay on the kernel default; the upstream bump
covers them.

Content Types
Hands
Hands are the user-facing "apps" in LibreFang. Each hand bundles an agent, tools, user-configurable settings, dashboard metrics, dependency checks, and i18n translations into a single deployable unit.
Every hand includes a SKILL.md — domain-specific expert knowledge that is injected into the agent's context at runtime, giving it deep expertise in its domain.
| Icon | Hand | Category | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 📈 | analytics | data | Data collection, analysis, visualization, dashboards, and automated reporting |
| 🔌 | apitester | development | Endpoint discovery, request validation, load testing, and regression detection |
| 🌐 | browser | productivity | Web navigation, form filling, and multi-step web tasks with user approval |
| 🎬 | clip | content | Turns long-form video into viral short clips with captions and thumbnails |
| 🔍 | collector | data | Intelligence collection, change detection, and knowledge graphs |
| 👷 | devops | development | CI/CD management, infrastructure monitoring, deployment, and incident response |
| 📊 | lead | data | Lead generation, enrichment, scoring, and scheduled delivery |

Providers
Provider files define LLM providers and their models with pricing, context windows, and capability flags. See schema.toml for the full field reference.
49 providers including: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Groq, Mistral, Cohere, xAI, Together, Fireworks, Ollama (local), LM Studio (local), vLLM (self-hosted), Alibaba Coding Plan, and many more.
339 models with metadata for each: pricing (input/output per token), context window size, capability flags (vision, function calling, streaming), and tier classification.
Aliases
Global model alias mappings in aliases.toml let users reference models by short names:
"sonnet" = "claude-sonnet-4-6"
"gpt4" = "gpt-4o"
"flash" = "gemini-2.5-flash"
"deepseek" = "deepseek-chat"
Models can also define aliases directly in their provider TOML files, which are auto-registered at load time.
Plugins
Plugins extend agent capabilities with memory systems, safety guardrails, and conversation utilities.
10 plugins: auto-summarizer, context-decay, conversation-logger, episodic-memory, guardrails, keyword-memory, sentiment-tracker, todo-tracker, topic-memory, user-profile
Skills
Reusable prompt templates or Python scripts that agents can invoke.
[skill]
name = "meeting-agenda"
description = "Generate a structured meeting agenda"
[runtime]
type = "promptonly"
[prompt]
template = "Create a meeting agenda for: {{topic}}"
Workflows
Pre-built multi-agent workflow definitions in workflows/<name>.toml orchestrate multiple agents for complex tasks.
9 workflows: brainstorm, code-review, content-pipeline, content-review, customer-support, data-pipeline, research, translate-polish, weekly-report
