Frequently Asked Questions

FAQPage Schema

How to install OpenHands skills?▼

Run `npx skills add OpenHands/skills --all -g -y` in your terminal to install the full catalog globally. You can also install a single skill by adding `--skill <skill-name>` instead of `--all`.

What can OpenHands skills automate?▼

They cover code review, PR iteration through CI, QA validation, release notes, issue-to-PR pipelines, Slack and GitHub monitors, standup digests, and legacy migrations like COBOL to Java. Each skill activates automatically when your request matches its triggers.

Do these skills work outside OpenHands?▼

Yes. Every skill follows the open AgentSkills standard with a SKILL.md file, so they load in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any compatible agent runtime.

How do I trigger a specific skill?▼

Most skills respond to natural keywords like 'code review' or 'docker', and many also expose slash commands such as /codereview, /iterate, or /release-notes. Just describe your task and the matching skill loads automatically.

Can I create my own custom skill?▼

Yes. The built-in skill-creator and agent-creator skills guide you through an interview and generate a valid SKILL.md or file-based agent, no manual formatting required.
