Freenet Agent Skills

May 6, 2026 · View on GitHub

AI coding agent skills for building applications on Freenet. Compatible with Claude Code and OpenCode.

Available Skills

dapp-builder

Build decentralized applications on Freenet. Guides through:

  1. Designing contracts (shared, replicated state)
  2. Implementing delegates (private, local state)
  3. Building the UI (WebSocket connection to Freenet)

Based on River, a decentralized chat application.

pr-creation

Guidelines for creating high-quality Freenet pull requests. Includes:

  • Four parallel review subagents (code-first, testing, skeptical, big-picture)
  • Big-picture review catches "CI chasing" anti-patterns
  • Test quality standards and regression prevention
  • Worktree-based workflow

systematic-debugging

Methodology for debugging non-trivial problems:

  • Hypothesis formation before code changes
  • Parallel investigation with subagents
  • Anti-patterns to avoid (jumping to conclusions, weakening tests)
  • Test coverage gap analysis

Hooks

The hooks/ directory contains two types of hooks for Freenet development:

1. Claude Code Hooks (Automatic)

File: hooks/hooks.json

Automatically runs cargo fmt and cargo clippy before Claude runs git commits. Included with the plugin - no setup required.

2. Git Pre-Commit Hook (Manual)

File: hooks/pre-commit

Runs cargo fmt and cargo clippy before git commits. Must be installed manually:

# From freenet-core repository
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freenet/freenet-agent-skills/main/hooks/pre-commit > .git/hooks/pre-commit
chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit

See hooks/README.md for full details and comparison.

Installation

Add the marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add freenet/freenet-agent-skills

Then install the plugin:

/plugin install freenet@freenet-agent-skills

This installs all bundled skills (dapp-builder, pr-creation, pr-review, release, systematic-debugging, linux-test, local-dev). Browse via /plugin → Discover tab to confirm.

Manual Installation

Option 1: Copy individual skills

git clone https://github.com/freenet/freenet-agent-skills.git
cp -r freenet-agent-skills/skills/dapp-builder ~/.claude/skills/

Option 2: Symlink (easier to update)

git clone https://github.com/freenet/freenet-agent-skills.git ~/freenet-agent-skills
ln -s ~/freenet-agent-skills/skills/dapp-builder ~/.claude/skills/

OpenCode

OpenCode automatically discovers skills from Claude-compatible paths:

git clone https://github.com/freenet/freenet-agent-skills.git ~/freenet-agent-skills
ln -s ~/freenet-agent-skills/skills/dapp-builder ~/.claude/skills/
ln -s ~/freenet-agent-skills/skills/pr-creation ~/.claude/skills/
ln -s ~/freenet-agent-skills/skills/systematic-debugging ~/.claude/skills/

Project-specific Installation

To include a skill in a specific project (shared with team):

mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r freenet-agent-skills/skills/dapp-builder .claude/skills/
git add .claude/skills

Verify installation: Ask your AI agent: "What skills are available?" - it should list the installed skills.
