Use when the user wants to run Claude Code work on FREE inference instead of the paid gateway — either a LOCAL MLX model or a free cloud API. PRIMARILY dispatching a delegatable sub-task from their normal paid session (Opus/Sonnet); also running a full free session. Triggers: "dispatch this to a local model", "offload this to save cost", "run this on qwen locally", "start a local session / local mode", "run a remote session", "use a free API for this", "run the model tournament", or working…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# free-agents — driving local MLX inference This overlay runs Claude Code work on **free** inference over two equal lanes: a **local** MLX server on Apple Silicon, and **free-tier remote APIs**. Models, ports, and paths come from `config/config.local.sh` and `config/remote-agents.sh`. First-time setup and full details are in the plugin README; this skill is the quick operational guide. ## ⛔ READ THIS FIRST — the built-in `Agent` tool CANNOT reach a free model This is the single most common way this skill gets "used" without saving a cent, so it is stated before anything else. **In a CLOUD (paid) session, Claude Code's `Agent` (Task) tool cannot dispatch to a free agent.** Its `model` parameter accepts only first-party paid tiers — `sonnet`, `opus`, `haiku`, `fable` — and the org allowlist blocks adding one. (Two exceptions, since 0.27.0: inside a FREE session, local or free-API, `Agent` and `Workflow` subagents already run on that session's free endpoint. And if the user opted into `FA_REPLACE_AGENTS=1`, a hook redirects a cloud session's `Agent` call to `bin/free-agent-tool.py`; follow its instructions.) So, in a cloud session: | What you do | What actually runs | Cost | …

How to install
mdr add haiggoh/free-agents/free-agents@sha256:3479598aa6bbbdaeThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261031.530a28e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
