SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

OpenHands enables delegating coding tasks to a model-agnostic CLI, letting developers run automated, headless coding workflows across different providers without tying to a single vendor.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Headless delegation: Run coding tasks without a UI and receive structured JSON outputs for automation.
  • Provider-agnostic routing: Works with multiple backends (OpenAI, Anthropic, or other LiteLLM providers) through a consistent CLI interface.
  • Batch and resume tasks: Start long-running tasks, resume conversations, and manage iterations using environment variables and CLI flags.

Quick Start

Delegate a coding task to the OpenHands CLI in headless mode using a model-agnostic provider.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run headless coding tasks with a model-agnostic CLI?

You can run headless coding tasks with a model-agnostic CLI by delegating commands to the OpenHands backend, which processes batch and single-step tasks locally without a UI and returns structured JSON outputs.

Can I use LiteLLM providers to route automated coding workflows?

Yes, you can route automated coding workflows across multiple LiteLLM providers like OpenAI and Anthropic through a consistent CLI interface, ensuring vendor-agnostic task delegation without tying to a single backend.

How do I resume long-running coding tasks in a local workspace?

To resume long-running coding tasks in a local workspace, use the CLI flags and environment variable overrides provided by the backend to manage iterations and continue previously started headless conversations.

What is the best way to automate batch coding tasks across different model providers?

The best way to automate batch coding tasks across different model providers is using a headless CLI that applies environment variable overrides and outputs structured JSON events for seamless multi-provider automation.

Does the OpenHands CLI support structured JSON event output for automation?

Yes, the OpenHands CLI supports structured JSON event output for automation, satisfying headless operation requirements by providing machine-readable responses for delegated coding tasks across model-agnostic providers.

Do I need environment variables to configure headless coding agents?

Yes, you need environment variables to configure headless coding agents, as they provide the necessary overrides for managing batch iterations, resuming tasks, and routing across multiple LiteLLM providers.
