openhands-automation skillA
openhands-automation is agent-read markdown (skill) from openhands/extensions: This skill should be used when the user asks to "create an automation", "schedule a task", "set up a cron job", "webhook integration", "event-triggered automation", or mentions automations, scheduled tasks, cron scheduling, or webhook events in OpenHands Cloud..
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.
