setup-openhands skillA
setup-openhands is agent-read markdown (skill) from openhands/extensions: Set up a repository for effective use with OpenHands. Creates AGENTS.md, setup and pre-commit scripts, and a PR review workflow. Designed to run automatically with minimal user intervention. Use when a user wants to configure their repo for OpenHands..
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
# Set Up OpenHands for a Repository Work through these steps in order. ## Step 1: Create AGENTS.md Run `setup-agents-md` to generate a root-level `AGENTS.md` from the repo's actual CI workflows, build files, and documentation. ## Step 2: Create `.openhands/setup.sh` Create `.openhands/setup.sh` — a bootstrap script that runs at the start of every OpenHands session. Read the repo's CI workflows, AGENTS.md, and build files to determine the correct commands. The script should: - Install dependencies (the project's actual install command) - Set required environment variables - Run any other bootstrap steps (e.g. copy `.env.example` to `.env`) Keep it idempotent and fast. Use the real commands from CI, not generic examples. **Docs**: https://docs.openhands.dev/openhands/usage/customization/repository#setup-script ## Step 3: Create `.openhands/pre-commit.sh` Create `.openhands/pre-commit.sh` — runs before every commit OpenHands makes. Read the repo's CI workflows to find the lint and test commands, then mirror them in the script. Exit non-zero on failure so the agent gets immediate feedback instead of waiting for CI. …
