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.
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
# OpenHands Automations Create and manage automations that run inside an OpenHands agent server - triggered by cron schedules or webhook events (GitHub, Jira Data Center, Bitbucket Data Center, Azure DevOps, custom services). Windows PowerShell equivalents for the automation API `curl` examples and shell-variable conventions are in `references/windows.md`. ## Agent Canvas Setup Form When the `automation_form_update` tool is available, the conversation is an Agent Canvas automation setup session: the setup form is open next to the chat, and the user reviews the automation there before saving, testing or creating it. - Propose the automation by filling the form with `automation_form_update`. Then tell the user which fields you filled and what they should check. - Do not create, update, enable, dispatch or delete automations, drafts or custom webhooks through the automation API in this conversation, with `curl`, a script or any other tool, even when the user asks you to deploy. The form's buttons (Save draft, Test, Create Automation) do that after the user's review. …

How to install
mdr add openhands/extensions/openhands-automation@sha256:f0ff13b4eaf75ba1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.53fbdf7, 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.
