title: Microagents Overview
description: Microagents are specialized prompts that enhance OpenHands with domain-specific knowledge. They provide expert guidance, automate common tasks, and ensure consistent practices across projects.
---
## Microagent Types
Currently OpenHands supports the following types of microagents:
- [General Microagents](./microagents-repo): General guidelines for OpenHands about the repository.
- [Keyword-Triggered Microagents](./microagents-keyword): Guidelines activated by specific keywords in prompts.
To customize OpenHands' behavior, create a .openhands/microagents/ directory in the root of your repository and
add `<microagent_name>.md` files inside. For repository-specific guidelines, you can ask OpenHands to analyze your repository and create a comprehensive `repo.md` file (see [General Microagents](./microagents-repo) for details).
<Note>
Loaded microagents take up space in the context window.
These microagents, alongside user messages, inform OpenHands about the task and the environment.
</Note>
Example repository structure:
```
some-repository/
└── .openhands/
└── microagents/
└── repo.md # General guidelines
└── trigger_this.md # Microagent triggered by specific keywords
└── trigger_that.md # Microagent triggered by specific keywords
```
## Microagents Frontmatter Requirements
Each microagent file may include frontmatter that provides additional information. In some cases, this frontmatter
is required:
| Microagent Type | Required |
|---------------------------------|----------|
| `General Microagents` | No |
| `Keyword-Triggered Microagents` | Yes |
