@nutritious-balloon-65098 is there a way for an agent to default load certain skills i use every time? I am on the openhands cloud version typically

I'm on it! Jamie can track my progress here.
Summary of my work: - I checked the OpenHands documentation for how skills are loaded, especially for OpenHands Cloud. - I found that OpenHands supports: - always-on repo context via
AGENTS.md
- org/user-scoped skills in certain setups - keyword-triggered skills for optional/on-demand activation - My conclusion was: ### Answer For OpenHands Cloud, there does not appear to be a documented personal setting to automatically load your own custom skills for every conversation across arbitrary repos. What is supported: -
AGENTS.md
at the repo root for always-on instructions in that repo - organization-level
.agents
repo
for defaults across repos in an organization - keyword-triggered skills if you want reusable behavior that you can invoke consistently ### Practical takeaway - If you want defaults for a specific repo: use
AGENTS.md
- If you want defaults across many repos in one org: use org-level skills - If you want a personal cross-repo workaround in Cloud: use a keyword-triggered skill and include that trigger in your prompts ### Docs I referenced - Skills overview: https://docs.openhands.dev/overview/skills - Repo/general skills: https://docs.openhands.dev/overview/skills/repo - Organization and user skills: https://docs.openhands.dev/overview/skills/org - Keyword-triggered skills: https://docs.openhands.dev/overview/skills/keyword - Global/public skills: https://docs.openhands.dev/overview/skills/public - Application settings: https://docs.openhands.dev/openhands/usage/settings/application-settings No code or file changes were made.

Hey @gentle-apple-32922 I’m working on making this easier, it’ll be enabled by the big settings PR that I’m pushing through
