Summary I've successfully implemented self-documentation lookup capability for OpenHands agents, inspired by Claude Code's approach. This addresses OpenHands-CLI#207. What Was Implemented Self-Documentation System Prompt Section - OpenHands agents can now automatically fetch their own documentation when users ask capability questions like "Can OpenHands do X?" or "Does OpenHands support Y?" Changes Made 1.

(new, 84 lines) ◦ Comprehensive documentation structure mapped from https://docs.all-hands.dev/sdk ◦ Organized by category: Getting Started, Architecture, Guides (Agent/LLM/Conversation/Tools), API Reference ◦ Includes usage examples and guidelines for when to fetch documentation 2.

openhands-sdk/openhands/sdk/agent/prompts/system_prompt.j2

(modified, +4 lines) ◦ Added <SELF_DOCUMENTATION> section that includes the new template ◦ Positioned before security sections for visibility 3.

tests/sdk/agent/test_self_documentation_integration.py

(new, 96 lines) ◦ Tests that self-documentation section is included in system message ◦ Validates template rendering and documentation structure ◦ All tests pass ✓ How It Works When users ask capability questions, agents will: 1. Recognize the question pattern (e.g., "Can OpenHands...", "Does OpenHands have...") 2. Use the fetch tool to get documentation from https://docs.all-hands.dev/sdk 3. Reference the appropriate pages (getting-started, guides/llm-streaming, arch/security, etc.) 4. Provide accurate, up-to-date answers with documentation links Branch & Next Steps Changes pushed to:

🎯 Key Implementation Details Following Claude Code's concise pattern, the

self_documentation.j2

template: • Defines trigger conditions (capability questions, how-to queries) • Provides base URL (https://docs.all-hands.dev/sdk) • Lists high-level structure (Getting Started, Architecture, Guides, API Reference) • Instructs to use fetch tool rather than listing every documentation page • Total: 13 lines (comparable to Claude Code's ~8 lines) This is much more maintainable than the initial 84-line version that listed all pages explicitly. ✅ Testing & Quality • All tests pass (2/2) • Pre-commit checks pass • No regressions in existing tests • Follows repository conventions 🔗 Pull Request PR #1396: https://github.com/OpenHands/software-agent-sdk/pull/1396 (Draft) The PR includes: • Complete implementation with concise template • Comprehensive test coverage • Detailed description of benefits and approach • Comparison to Claude Code's pattern 💡 How It Works When users ask questions like: • "Can OpenHands do X?" • "Are you able to...?" • "How do I use [feature]?" The agent will: 1. Recognize it as a capability question 2. Use the

fetch

tool to retrieve documentation from https://docs.all-hands.dev/sdk 3. Provide accurate, up-to-date answers with links This improves accuracy, discoverability, and user experience while keeping the system prompt maintainable. _{View full conversation}

✅ Final Summary I've successfully implemented a self-documentation lookup feature for OpenHands agents, inspired by Claude Code, that enables agents to fetch accurate, up-to-date information about all OpenHands products. 📋 Request Checklist - Fully Addressed • ✅ Added self-documentation section similar to Claude Code's approach • ✅ Referenced OpenHands docs at https://docs.all-hands.dev/ • ✅ Updated sub-pages to reflect actual OpenHands documentation structure • ✅ Made implementation concise (20 lines vs Claude Code's ~8 lines) • ✅ Covered ALL OpenHands products (SDK, CLI, GUI, Cloud, Enterprise) - not just SDK 📝 Changes Made (107 lines total)
