I'm on it! Joe Pelletier can track my progress here.
## Summary: OpenHands Organization and User Skills Support Yes, OpenHands supports automatic loading of Agent Skills from Organization and Personal repositories. ### Organization Skills | Platform | Repository Name | Location | |----------|-----------------|----------| | GitHub |
{org}/.agents
|
skills/
directory | | GitLab |
{org}/openhands-config
|
skills/
directory | Organization skills are automatically loaded for all repositories belonging to that organization when using OpenHands Cloud or the Local GUI with server mode. ### Personal/User Skills | Location | Supported Platforms | |----------|---------------------| |
~/.agents/skills/
| CLI, Headless mode, Development mode | ⚠️ Note: User skills are NOT available when running OpenHands via Docker out-of-the-box (the container doesn't mount your home directory). ### Skill Loading Precedence (lowest to highest) 1. Global/Public skills 2. User skills (
~/.agents/skills/
) 3. Organization skills (
{org}/.agents/skills/
) 4. Project/Repository skills (
.agents/skills/
- highest priority) ### Legacy Paths (deprecated but still supported) -
~/.openhands/skills/
-
~/.openhands/microagents/
-
.openhands/skills/
-
.openhands/microagents/

Note that these are not loaded for every conversation, but only conversations where the user selects the org. I’m trying to fix that with this PR: https://github.com/OpenHands/OpenHands/pull/13117
