Usage

These microagents can be any type of microagent and will be loaded accordingly. However, they are applied to all repositories belonging to the organization or user. Add a .openhands repository under the organization or user and create a microagents directory and place the microagents in that directory. For GitLab organizations, use openhands-config as the repository name instead of .openhands, since GitLab doesn’t support repository names starting with non-alphanumeric characters.

​
Example

General microagent file example for organization Great-Co located inside the .openhands repository: microagents/org-microagent.md: 
* Use type hints and error boundaries; validate inputs at system boundaries and fail with meaningful error messages.
* Document interfaces and public APIs; use implementation comments only for non-obvious logic.
* Follow the same naming convention for variables, classes, constants, etc. already used in each repository.
For GitLab organizations, the same microagent would be located inside the openhands-config repository.

User Microagents When Running Openhands on Your Own

This works with CLI, headless and development modes. It does not work out of the box when running OpenHands using the docker command.
When running OpenHands on your own, you can place microagents in the ~/.openhands/microagents folder on your local system and OpenHands will always load it for all your conversations.
