Run OpenHands in Agentastic
The open-source software-development agent, with task prompts, automatic approval, and last-session resume.
What Agentastic adds
Give every task its own worktree, branch, or container.
Keep OpenHands's real CLI and your existing configuration.
Inspect the diff, run code review, test, and open a pull request.
Launch OpenHands
- Install the official CLI and sign in with your existing provider account.
- Open a repository in Agentastic. The connection is discovered from your PATH.
- Open Agent Home, choose OpenHands, describe the task, and select worktree, local, container, cloud, or remote mode.
Every run gets its own git worktree, so three tasks can share a repository without sharing a branch or a build directory.
What OpenHands supports
- Launch from a task description: supported
Type the task in Agent Home and Agentastic hands it to openhands at launch, so the run starts from your prompt instead of an empty session.
- Unattended runs: supported
OpenHands can run without stopping for per-tool confirmation, which is what makes an overnight or scheduled run finish on its own.
- Plan before editing: not supported
Agentastic keeps plan mode out of the picker for OpenHands rather than emulating it, so runs begin with edits.
- Resume a session: supported
Reopen the last OpenHands session for a worktree and keep its history — useful when reviewing the diff turns up one more change.
- Structured chat: not supported
OpenHands runs in its own terminal UI inside Agentastic; it does not expose a protocol Agentastic can render as a structured chat.
- Code review: not supported
OpenHands writes the change; pair it with a review-capable agent for the pass before merge.
Agentastic reads these from OpenHands's own CLI rather than emulating them, and modes it does not support stay out of the picker. The provider reference lists the exact flags for each launch, and how to compare coding agents covers what changes when you switch harnesses.
OpenHands questions
Is there a GUI for OpenHands?
Yes. Agentastic runs the real OpenHands CLI (openhands) in a native Mac workspace with a git worktree, terminal, diff view, and code review for each task.
How do I run multiple OpenHands sessions in parallel?
Start each task from Agent Home in worktree mode. Agentastic gives every run its own git worktree and terminal, so several OpenHands sessions can work in one repository without editing the same files.
How do I install OpenHands?
Run uv tool install openhands, then sign in the way OpenHands's documentation describes. Agentastic finds the openhands command on your PATH when you open a repository.
Does Agentastic charge for OpenHands?
No. Agentastic is free and does not proxy model calls. It launches OpenHands with the credentials and plan you already use, so any usage is billed by your provider, not by Agentastic.
