Hand definitions for LibreFang. Hands are pre-packaged capability bundles that compose agents, tools, skills, MCP servers, workflows, and plugins into a working application.

Composition Model

A hand composes registry resources — it doesn't reinvent them:

Resource	How to compose	Example
Agent templates	`base = "coder"` on `[agents.*]`	Inherit prompt, model config, fallbacks from `agents/coder/agent.toml`
Tools	`tools = [...]` at hand level	All agents get these built-in tools
Skills	`skills = [...]` at hand level	Skill allowlist (empty = all)
MCP servers	`mcp_servers = [...]` at hand level	Agent interacts via MCP tools, not hardcoded API calls
Workflows	`workflow_run` tool in agent prompts	Agent calls `workflow_run bug-triage` at runtime
Plugins	`allowed_plugins = [...]` at hand level	Plugin allowlist (empty = all)
Per-agent skills	`SKILL-{role}.md` files	Different reference knowledge per agent role
Per-agent capabilities	`[agents.*.capabilities]`	Fine-grained shell/network/memory per agent

Adding a New Hand

Create hands/<name>/HAND.toml
Add SKILL.md (shared) or SKILL-{role}.md (per-agent) for reference knowledge
Use base = "agent-name" to inherit from existing agent templates in agents/
Set mcp_servers, skills, allowed_plugins for resource composition
Ensure id matches the directory name
