# Skills (formerly Microagents)

> Skills support across OpenHands platforms

Skills are specialized prompts that enhance OpenHands with domain-specific knowledge, expert guidance, and automated task handling. They provide consistent practices across projects and can be triggered automatically based on keywords or context.

## Official Skill Registry

The official global skill registry is maintained at [github.com/OpenHands/skills](https://github.com/OpenHands/skills). Browse community-shared skills, contribute your own, and learn from examples created by the community.

## How Skills Work

Skills inject additional context and rules into the agent's behavior through:

* [General Skills](/overview/skills/repo): General guidelines for OpenHands about the repository.
* [Keyword-Triggered Skills](/overview/skills/keyword): Guidelines activated by specific keywords in prompts.
