[OpenHands](https://github.com/All-Hands-AI/OpenHands) is All-Hands' agent SDK for autonomous software engineering. It models a `Workspace` and a `Terminal` tool, Mirage ships drop-in implementations of both so the agent operates entirely inside a Mirage workspace.

## Install

```bash
uv add 'mirage-ai[openhands]'
```

This pulls in `openhands-sdk>=1.18.0` and `openhands-tools>=1.18.0`. The OpenHands SDK requires Python >= 3.12, on 3.11 this extra installs nothing.

## Usage

```python
import os
from openhands.sdk import LLM, Agent, Conversation, Tool

from mirage import MountMode, Workspace
from mirage.agents.openhands import MirageWorkspace, register_mirage_terminal
from mirage.resource.ram import RAMResource

ws = Workspace({"/": RAMResource()}, mode=MountMode.WRITE)

llm = LLM(
    model=os.getenv("LLM_MODEL", "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6"),
    api_key=os.getenv("LLM_API_KEY"),
)

with MirageWorkspace(workspace=ws, working_dir="/") as mirage_ws:
    tool_name = register_mirage_terminal(mirage_ws)
    agent = Agent(
        llm=llm,
        tools=[Tool(name=tool_name)],
        system_message=ws.file_prompt,
    )
    conversation = Conversation(agent=agent, workspace=mirage_ws)
    conversation.send_message("Create /hello.txt with 'hi' and ls /.")
    conversation.run()
```

## Exports

| Symbol | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| `MirageWorkspace` | OpenHands `Workspace` implementation backed by a Mirage workspace. |
| `MirageTerminalExecutor` | Terminal executor that pipes through `Workspace.execute()`. |
| `register_mirage_terminal` | Registers the Mirage terminal tool so the agent can `Tool(name=...)` it. |

## Examples

- [`examples/python/agents/openhands/sandbox_agent.py`](https://github.com/strukto-ai/mirage/blob/main/examples/python/agents/openhands/sandbox_agent.py), RAM + S3 + Slack composed into one workspace.
