Firebender

Works with the CLI alone. No gander.md account.

Firebender is an Android-native coding agent. It writes features, tests them in the emulator, and fixes issues automatically.

It loads Agent Skills from ~/.agents/skills and ~/.firebender/skills (and project .agents/skills). gander skill already links ~/.agents/skills/gander. Add the Firebender dest if your build does not scan .agents.

1. Install the CLI

curl -fsSL https://release.gander.md/install.sh | bash
gander --version

After Homebrew or a source build, run gander skill.

2. Confirm the skill landed

ls -l ~/.agents/skills/gander/SKILL.md
mkdir -p ~/.firebender/skills
ln -sfn ~/.gander/skill ~/.firebender/skills/gander

Restart Firebender.

3. Sign up and add MCP

gander signup --email [email protected]

Add a stdio MCP server named gander with command gander and args mcp in Firebender's MCP settings.

4. Use it

  1. Ask Firebender to write or save a plan as markdown, then gander this file.
  2. gander watch plan.md after signup.
  3. Send the hosted URL. Reviewers comment in the browser.
  4. @agent comments are MCP inbox work.

Fallback: gander comments.

5. Verify
