What this skill does
free-code Claude CLI Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection. free-code is a buildable fork of Anthropic's Claude Code CLI — a terminal-native AI coding agent. It removes all telemetry and phone-home callbacks, strips Anthropic's injected system-prompt guardrails, and unlocks 54 experimental feature flags that are disabled in the public npm release. It supports five model providers: Anthropic, OpenAI Codex, AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, and Anthropic Foundry. --- Installation One-liner (recommended) This installs Bun if needed, clones the repo, builds with experimental features, and symlinks free-code on your PATH. Manual build --- Key CLI Commands Slash commands inside the REPL --- Build Variants Command Output Features --- --- --- bun run build ./cli VOICEMODE only (production-like) bun run build:dev ./cli-dev VOICEMODE only, dev stamp bun run build:dev:full ./cli-dev All 54 experimental flags unlocked bun run compile ./dist/cli Alternative output path Enable specific feature flags --- Model Provider Configuration Switch providers entirely via environment variables — no code changes needed. Anthropic (default) Available models: claude-opus-4-6, claude-sonnet-4-6, claude-haiku-4-5 Override model defaults: OpenAI Codex Available models: gpt-5.3-codex, gpt-5.4, gpt-5.4-mini AWS Bedrock Additional Bedrock variables: Google Cloud Vertex AI Anthropic Foundry --- Experimental Features Reference Build with bun run build:dev:full to unlock all 54 flags, or pass --feature=FLAG individually. …
