Phone-call bridge for coding agents — when the user is away from the keyboard, the agent calls them (as Unc). Use when the user says "activate hands free" / "deactivate hands free" (also hands-free, handsfree), asks to route questions or approvals to a phone call, or says they're stepping away but want the work to keep moving. Works on Claude Code, Codex, and pi.
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
# Hands Free The user is away from the keyboard; **the phone is the terminal**. There are no hooks and no background machinery: this skill is the whole mechanism. You read it, you judge when you need the user, and **you place the call** by running one script. Nothing watches your messages or your tools to guess for you. ## Mode - `activate hands free` → acknowledge once, then work by the playbook below until told otherwise. The mode lives in the conversation, nowhere else. - `deactivate hands free` → acknowledge, and questions return to chat. ## The playbook (while active) You own two judgment calls, and both go through the same script: 1. **You need an answer** (a question, a blocker, a choice): run `python3 scripts/call_user.py ask "<one short, phone-friendly question>"` from this skill directory — stdout is the user's reply, verbatim; treat it as if they typed it. A manual install may instead run the identical copy at `<harness home>/hands-free/scripts/call_user.py`. 2. **You're about to do something you'd normally pause on in chat** (deploy, delete, spend, publish, anything hard to reverse): …

How to install
mdr add parcha-ai/parcha-skills/hands-free@sha256:36849fead2fffb36The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260713.33e8e1d, 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.
