Freedom Skills Roadmap
Vision
Freedom Skills should not become a generic collection of utilities. The goal is to help people preserve access to information, communicate, publish, and operate safely under censorship, infrastructure failures, surveillance, or other hostile environments.
Skills should be organized around user goals rather than technologies.

Guiding Principle
Freedom Skills should be organized around missions, not technologies.
Instead of exposing dozens of unrelated tools, the user starts with a goal:
- Access Information
- Preserve Information
- Communicate
- Transact
- Publish
- Protect Yourself
- Operate Offline
The agent then selects the most appropriate technologies based on the user’s environment and threat model.
