Summary
I would like to propose adding first-class support for Autohand Code CLI as a coding agent alongside Gemini CLI, Claude Code, Codex, and Antigravity.
Autohand is a fast, terminal-native AI coding agent with native skill support via .autohand/skills/**/SKILL.md and project guidance via .autohand/AGENTS.md. It already auto-mirrors skills installed for Claude Code, so existing npx skills add google/agents-cli users benefit without extra work. A complete integration would update documentation, agent manifests, and provide project-level Autohand guidance.
I have prepared a ready-to-review branch with the changes at igorcosta/agents-cli:feature/autohand-code-cli-support:
https://github.com/google/agents-cli/compare/main...igorcosta:agents-cli:feature/autohand-code-cli-support?expand=1
Because the repository currently blocks pull requests (per CONTRIBUTING.md), I am opening this issue to share the design and branch. If the policy changes or a maintainer wants to pull the changes, the branch is ready.
Proposed changes
- README.md — list Autohand Code CLI in the supported-agent lineup and FAQ.
- docs/src/index.md — add the Autohand logo to the hero "works with" band.
- docs/src/guide/getting-started.md — add an "Autohand Code CLI" tab with startup, skill verification, and example prompt instructions.
- docs/src/guide/authentication.md — document Autohand authentication in the Level 1 coding-agent auth table.
- docs/src/guide/quickstart-tutorial.md & project-structure.md — mention Autohand where coding agents are referenced.
- docs/src/stylesheets/custom.css — add Autohand logo styling for the hero band and tabbed getting-started section.
- docs/src/assets/logos/autohand.png — add the Autohand logo asset.
- docs/hooks/skills_reference.py & docs/src/reference/skills.md — include Autohand in the list of agents that receive installed skills.
- skills/google-agents-cli-workflow/SKILL.md, skills/google-agents-cli-scaffold/SKILL.md, and skills/google-agents-cli-scaffold/references/flags.md — mention Autohand Code CLI in agent lists and guidance-filename guidance.
- .autohand/AGENTS.md — add project-level guidance so Autohand Code CLI understands the repository layout, skill conventions, and contribution flow.
- .autohand/skills/ — symlink to the canonical
skills/ directory so Autohand discovers all Agents CLI skills when run inside this repository.
Verification
- Built the docs site locally with
cd docs && uv sync --no-sources && uv run mkdocs build -f mkdocs.yml — builds cleanly.
- Reviewed the rendered site to confirm the Autohand tab and logo render correctly.
Open questions
- Is the project open to agent-specific plugin manifests beyond
.claude-plugin/plugin.json and gemini-extension.json? The .autohand/AGENTS.md file follows the same intent for Autohand users.
- Would you prefer actual file copies under
.autohand/skills/ instead of symlinks to the canonical skills/ directory? Symlinks keep the two locations in sync, but I can switch to copies if portability is a concern.
Happy to adjust the approach based on maintainer feedback.
