The OpenHands Software Agent SDK is a set of Python and REST APIs for **building agents that work with code**.
You can use the OpenHands Software Agent SDK for:
* One-off tasks, like building a README for your repo
* Routine maintenance tasks, like updating dependencies
* Major tasks that involve multiple agents, like refactors and rewrites
Importantly, agents can either use the local machine as their workspace, or run inside ephemeral workspaces
(e.g. in Docker or Kubernetes) using the Agent Server.
You can even use the SDK to build new developer experiences: it’s the engine behind the
[OpenHands CLI](https://github.com/OpenHands/OpenHands-CLI) and [OpenHands Cloud](https://github.com/OpenHands/OpenHands).
Get started with some [examples](https://docs.openhands.dev/sdk/guides/hello-world) or [check out the docs](https://docs.openhands.dev/sdk) to learn more.
## Quick Start
Here's what building with the SDK looks like:
```python
import os
from openhands.sdk import LLM, Agent, Conversation, Tool
from openhands.tools.file_editor import FileEditorTool
from openhands.tools.task_tracker import TaskTrackerTool
from openhands.tools.terminal import TerminalTool
llm = LLM(
model="gpt-5.5",
api_key=os.getenv("LLM_API_KEY"),
)
agent = Agent(
llm=llm,
tools=[
Tool(name=TerminalTool.name),
Tool(name=FileEditorTool.name),
Tool(name=TaskTrackerTool.name),
],
)
cwd = os.getcwd()
conversation = Conversation(agent=agent, workspace=cwd)
conversation.send_message("Write 3 facts about the current project into FACTS.txt.")
conversation.run()
print("All done!")
```
For installation instructions and detailed setup, see the [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.openhands.dev/sdk/getting-started).
For local development from this repository, run `make build` to install the workspace dependencies and pre-commit hooks.
