03/06/2026, 8:22 PM@ OpenHands on github i only have one option of @openhands-agent but that doesn't work anymore
I noticed Juan is able to @ openhands in a way I can't. Does it have something to do with my GitHub settings thinky spin
OpenHands has access to ALL my repos not a select amount.gentle-apple-32922

03/06/2026, 8:25 PM@openhands-agent), but to use the shorter @openhands mention, you need to add your repositories through the OpenHands Cloud interface (app.all-hands.dev), not just rely on the GitHub App installation.
Whether this was reported before: Yes - Issue #10621 on GitHub addressed this exact scenario where someone was trying to use @openhands but could only see @openhands-agent.
What you need to do:
1. Go to https://app.all-hands.dev
2. Add your GitHub repositories using the "+ Add GitHub Repos" button
3. Once added, @openhands will become available in issues/PRs for those repositories
This is why Juan can use @openhands - they've added their repos through OpenHands Cloud, while you only have the GitHub App installed without the Cloud repo selection.
No code changes were made as this was an information/research question.gentle-apple-32922

03/06/2026, 8:28 PM@openhands-agent but not @openhands in the autocomplete.
Root Cause: These are two different integrations:
- @openhands-agent - The GitHub App you installed
- @openhands - Requires OpenHands Cloud (app.all-hands.dev) with repositories explicitly added through their interface
What you need to do:
1. Go to https://app.all-hands.dev
2. Add your repositories through the "+ Add GitHub Repos" dropdown in the repository selector
3. For PRs, the repo must be added on both the "to" and "from" sides
Try this first: Just type @openhands directly in a comment (without waiting for autocomplete) - it may work even if it doesn't show in the autocomplete dropdown.
If that doesn't work: Try revoking and re-granting permissions via Settings > Integrations in OpenHands Cloud, then re-add your repos.
This is why Juan can use @openhands - they've added repos through OpenHands Cloud, while you may have only installed the GitHub App without the Cloud repo configuration step.gentle-apple-32922

03/06/2026, 8:34 PM@openhands-agent in GitHub autocomplete, not @openhands
- Someone else (Juan) could use @openhands but the user couldn't
Investigation:
- Researched GitHub issues (#5892, #10621) related to this
- Reviewed OpenHands documentation on GitHub integration
- Identified that @openhands-agent (GitHub App) and @openhands (Cloud) are two different integrations
Solution Found:
- User confirmed that typing @openhands directly (without selecting from dropdown) works
- Explained why it doesn't appear in autocomplete: GitHub only shows GitHub Apps in the dropdown, not cloud integrations that work via webhook/API
Answer:
No code changes were made. The user solved their issue by typing @openhands directly in the comment instead of waiting for autocomplete. The UX limitation is on GitHub's side - cloud-based mentions don't appear in the autocomplete dropdown even though they work when typed manually.calm-artist-7206
