Freedom tools, without the manuals.
Skills that let your AI agent use Bitcoin, Nostr, Signal and other freedom tech — and ask you before it sends, pays or publishes.
Install all 32 skills
npx skills add brenorb/freedom-skillsWorks with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and other agents that support the Agent Skills standard (opens in a new tab).
Skip the manual. Keep the freedom.
How it works
You ask in plain words
Send the signed PDF to Ana on Signal.
Your agent picks the tested skill
It follows that skill’s workflow and uses the real tool.
It shows the caveats and asks first
Nothing is sent, paid or published until you say yes.

A skill is a folder. Copy it where your agent looks.
git clone https://github.com/brenorb/freedom-skills cp -r freedom-skills/skills/signal-cli ~/.claude/skills/
It asks before it acts.
- Confirms first. Skills tell your agent to show the caveats and get your OK before it sends, pays or publishes.
- Plain text you can read. Read any skill before you install it, or scan it first with SkillSpector.
- Personal data stays out of the model. Rampart hooks redact selected details before a request reaches the model and restore them in the reply.
- Your keys, your money. The agent wallet is self-custodial.
Why
Freedom shouldn’t require 10,000 hours of training.
Freedom tools let people talk, pay and publish without asking permission, but each comes with its own setup and security homework. Freedom Skills turns that know-how into tested skills your agent can follow.
