openhands

openhands is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cyborg-garden/hermes-agent-mt. It costs 19 tokens per session (2,312 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of openhands, MIT.

A command-line coding agent that can use different AI model providers through LiteLLM, a compatibility layer for many model APIs. It can edit files and run shell commands in a project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Delegating feature work, refactoring, and other batches of file edits and shell commands from a terminal.
Why use it?
It allows coding tasks to use providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Ollama, or self-hosted models instead of being tied to one vendor. It is designed for non-interactive, multi-step tasks.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

openhands scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to openhands — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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 delegate_task.

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. Pick a model and set env vars for --override-with-envs:

    export LLM_MODEL=openrouter/openai/gpt-4o-mini       # or any LiteLLM slug
    export LLM_API_KEY=$OPENROUTER_API_KEY
    export LLM_BASE_URL=https://openrouter.ai/api/v1     # omit for native OpenAI
    

    LLM_MODEL uses LiteLLM's full slug. When the provider is OpenRouter the slug is doubly-prefixed: openrouter/<vendor>/<model> (e.g. openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5). For native Anthropic: anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5. For native OpenAI: openai/gpt-4o-mini.

  3. Suppress the startup banner so JSON output isn't preceded by ASCII art:

    export OPENHANDS_SUPPRESS_BANNER=1
    

How to Run

Always invoke through the terminal tool. Always pass --headless --json --override-with-envs --exit-without-confirmation for automation.

One-shot task

terminal(
  command="OPENHANDS_SUPPRESS_BANNER=1 LLM_MODEL=openrouter/openai/gpt-4o-mini LLM_API_KEY=$OPENROUTER_API_KEY LLM_BASE_URL=https://openrouter.ai/api/v1 openhands --headless --json --override-with-envs --exit-without-confirmation -t 'Add error handling to all API calls in src/'",
  workdir="/path/to/project",
  timeout=600
)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
