What it does

Delegate coding to OpenHands CLI (model-agnostic, LiteLLM).

Skill instructions

OpenHands CLI Delegate coding tasks to the OpenHands CLI via the terminal tool. OpenHands is model-agnostic: any LiteLLM-supported provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Ollama, vLLM, etc.). This skill is the headless-mode wrapper for batch / one-shot delegation. The interactive textual UI is not used from Hermes. When to Use - User wants a coding task delegated to OpenHands specifically. - User wants a coding agent that can run on a non-Anthropic / non-OpenAI provider (DeepSeek, Qwen, Ollama, vLLM, Nous, etc.) — sibling skills claude-code and codex are tied to one vendor. - Multi-step file edits + shell commands inside a workspace. For Claude-native, prefer claude-code. For OpenAI-native, prefer codex. For Hermes-native subagents, use delegatetask. Prerequisites 1. Install upstream (requires Python 3.12+ and uv): terminal(command="uv tool install openhands --python 3.12") Verify: openhands --version (currently OpenHands CLI 1.16.0 / SDK v1.21.0 at time of writing). 2.
