openhands skillA

openhands is agent-read markdown (skill) from openhands/extensions: Unified OpenHands plugin — bundles the OpenHands Cloud CLI, Cloud REST API (openhands-api), Automations (openhands-automation), and Software Agent SDK reference (openhands-sdk) into a single plugin. Use this when you need to interact with OpenHands Cloud or build agents with the SDK..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# OpenHands — Cloud, API, Automations & SDK

This plugin bundles all OpenHands capabilities under one roof:

| Capability | Skill | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| **CLI** (`openhands cloud`) | — (plugin-only) | Send a task to Cloud and get a conversation URL |
| **Cloud REST API (V1)** | `openhands-api` | Start/inspect conversations, delegate work, access sandboxes |
| **Automations API** | `openhands-automation` | Create and manage scheduled cron tasks |
| **Software Agent SDK** | `openhands-sdk` | Build agents with the Python SDK — custom tools, LLMs, conversations, delegation |

Each capability is also available as a standalone skill under `skills/`.
This plugin provides a unified entry point and the CLI integration script.

## Authentication — try CLI first

1. **Check if the OpenHands CLI is installed:**

```bash
command -v openhands &>/dev/null && echo "CLI available" || echo "CLI not found"
```

PowerShell check:

```powershell
if (Get-Command openhands -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) { "CLI available" } else { "CLI not found" }
```

2. **If CLI is available**, use it — it manages auth and API keys automatically.
3. **If CLI is not available**, check for an API key:

How to install

Latest version
mdr add openhands/extensions/openhands@git:20260701.599cc4d
Exact content
mdr add openhands/extensions/openhands@sha256:82e08c6108bc07c2

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
