feat: add marketplace_path setting to CLI by neubig · Pull Request #556 · OpenHands/OpenHands-CLI

neubig · 2026-03-01T18:46:51Z

Summary

Adds a configurable marketplace_path setting to the CLI so users can control which marketplace JSON file is used for public skills.

Closes #568

Details

Settings model and UI

Added marketplace_path to CliSettings
Normalized whitespace and mapped blank input to None
Rejected unsafe values such as absolute paths, traversal attempts, Windows-style paths, and non-JSON targets
Added a dedicated "Skills Settings" section and marketplace-path input in the CLI settings tab

Agent plumbing

Cached CliSettings once per AgentStore instance
Wired the persisted marketplace-path setting into agent-context construction so the CLI stack is ready for coordinated SDK support

Compatibility

The corresponding SDK work is tracked in feat: add configurable marketplace_path setting for public skills loading software-agent-sdk#2253
With the currently pinned SDK, the CLI stores and forwards the setting safely without breaking agent startup

Testing

uv run pytest tests/stores/test_marketplace_path_integration.py tests/tui/modals/settings/test_cli_settings.py tests/tui/modals/settings/test_cli_settings_tab.py tests/settings/test_skills_loading.py
uv run pre-commit run --all-files --show-diff-on-failure

Evidence

Verification link: View conversation

Live CLI persistence and startup verification:

$ cd /tmp/OpenHands-CLI && uv run python - <<'PY'
from pathlib import Path
from unittest.mock import patch
from openhands_cli.stores import AgentStore, CliSettings

config_dir = Path('/tmp/cli-marketplace-evidence')
config_dir.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
config_path = config_dir / 'cli_config.json'
if config_path.exists():
    config_path.unlink()

with patch.object(CliSettings, 'get_config_path', return_value=config_path):
    CliSettings(marketplace_path='  marketplaces/custom.json  ').save()
    reloaded = CliSettings.load()
    store = AgentStore()
    context = store._build_agent_context()

print('persisted_marketplace_path:', reloaded.marketplace_path)
print('agent_context_type:', type(context).__name__)
print('skill_count:', len(context.skills))
PY
persisted_marketplace_path: marketplaces/custom.json
agent_context_type: AgentContext
skill_count: 37

This verifies that the CLI trims and persists the configured marketplace path, then constructs an agent context successfully with the setting present. End-to-end marketplace filtering is supplied by the coordinated SDK change in OpenHands/software-agent-sdk#2253.

🔴 Needs improvement - Core integration missing, data model needs clarity.

Verdict: ❌ Incomplete - The setting is created but never wired up. PR description claims _build_agent_context() changes but they're absent from the diff.

Key Insight: You're building the UI for a feature that isn't connected to anything. Where's the actual integration that uses this setting?

- Change marketplace_path default from DEFAULT_MARKETPLACE_PATH to None - None semantically means 'load all public skills without filtering' - This makes the behavior consistent: fresh install and cleared input both load all skills - Add inline documentation explaining the semantic meaning - Wire up marketplace_path to _build_agent_context() - Load CLI settings in _build_agent_context - Pass marketplace_path to AgentContext when SDK supports it (future-ready) - Reference SDK PR #2253 for when this becomes fully functional - Add comprehensive integration tests - Test that _build_agent_context loads CLI settings - Test behavior with None and custom marketplace paths - Test persistence of marketplace_path in settings - Update existing tests - Fix test_cli_settings.py to expect None as default - Remove unused DEFAULT_MARKETPLACE_PATH import Co-authored-by: openhands <openhands@all-hands.dev>

Status update: SDK issue OpenHands/software-agent-sdk#2297 tracks adding marketplace_path support to load_public_skills() / AgentContext. Once that lands, this CLI change can wire the setting through to the SDK.

neubig · 2026-03-05T23:09:34Z

@OpenHands if necessary, update this PR to match the actual implementation: OpenHands/software-agent-sdk#2325

check the overall PR, can it be made more concise? if so cut out the fat

reflect the review comments and close them using the graphql API as necessary

openhands-ai · 2026-03-05T23:09:59Z

I'm on it! neubig can track my progress at all-hands.dev

Remove premature AgentContext integration since SDK doesn't support marketplace_path parameter yet. The PR now focuses on: - Adding marketplace_path field to CliSettings - Adding UI in CLI Settings tab to configure it - Basic persistence tests AgentContext integration will be added when SDK adds support. Co-authored-by: openhands <openhands@all-hands.dev>

openhands-ai · 2026-03-05T23:16:46Z

Final Summary

I've completed the requested updates to PR #556. Here's what was done:

✅ Checklist

Checked SDK PR #2325 - Confirmed the SDK does NOT add marketplace_path to AgentContext. The marketplace filtering is internal to load_public_skills().
Made PR more concise - Removed the "fat":
- Removed premature AgentContext integration from _build_agent_context() (18 lines of unused code)
- Removed try-except error swallowing hack
- Simplified tests from 113 lines (mock-heavy) to 31 lines (real persistence tests)
Resolved all review threads - All 22 unresolved review comments were replied to and resolved via GraphQL API
Updated PR description - Clarified scope: setting + UI only, SDK integration deferred

Changes Pushed (commit `e26cff2`)

openhands_cli/stores/agent_store.py - Reverted to simple _build_agent_context()
tests/stores/test_marketplace_path_integration.py - Simplified to 2 meaningful persistence tests

Final PR Scope

The PR now cleanly adds:

marketplace_path field in CliSettings (default: None)
UI input in CLI Settings tab
Persistence tests

PR Link: #556

🟡 Acceptable - Feature works and caching fix is solid, but has pragmatic concerns and unnecessary complexity.

Taste Rating: Code is functional but violates "solve real problems not imaginary ones" since SDK support isn't merged yet. The cached settings approach is good engineering.

Key Insight: You're building feature plumbing before the feature exists. While forward-compatible, this adds maintenance surface for hypothetical functionality.

+# Placeholder text shown in UI for marketplace path input
+# When marketplace_path is None, all public skills load without filtering


🟡 Naming: MARKETPLACE_PATH_PLACEHOLDER is misleading - it's not a placeholder in the code, it's UI text. The variable name suggests it's used as a default value, but it's only for display.

Better: MARKETPLACE_PATH_UI_HINT or just inline the string in the UI code where it's actually used.

+            )
+
+        return normalized


🟡 Complexity: This validation is doing too much. You have a regex pattern AND PurePosixPath checks AND special case handling. Pick one approach.

The regex already enforces relative path structure. The PurePosixPath checks for absolute/traversal are redundant if your regex is correct. If you don't trust the regex, why have it?

Simpler approach - just validate the actual constraints:

if not normalized.endswith(".json"): raise ValueError("marketplace_path must be a JSON file") if normalized.startswith("/") or ".." in normalized: raise ValueError("marketplace_path must be relative without traversal") return normalized

No regex needed unless you're specifically blocking characters.

+                "marketplace_path": self.cli_settings.marketplace_path,
+            }


🟡 Unnecessary Indirection: Why model_validate() with a dict instead of just calling the constructor directly?

return AgentContext( skills=skills, system_message_suffix=system_suffix, load_user_skills=True, load_public_skills=True, marketplace_path=self.cli_settings.marketplace_path, )

The model_validate() approach adds a dict creation and validation overhead for no benefit. The SDK will raise TypeError if marketplace_path isn't supported, which your tests already handle gracefully.

🟢 Acceptable - Caching Fix: This addresses the previous performance concern about loading settings on every _build_agent_context() call. Good pragmatic fix.

Trade-off: Settings changes won't be picked up until AgentStore is recreated, but that's reasonable since settings are typically changed infrequently and through the UI which likely triggers a restart.
