+Please browse the repository, look at the documentation and relevant code, and understand the purpose of this repository.
+
+Specifically, I want you to create a `.openhands/microagents/repo.md` file. This file should contain succinct information that summarizes:
+1. The purpose of this repository
+2. The general setup of this repo
+3. A brief description of the structure of this repo
+
+Read all the GitHub workflows under .github/ of the repository (if this folder exists) to understand the CI checks (e.g., linter, pre-commit), and include those in the repo.md file.
+
+The repo.md file should be a microagent with type "knowledge" that provides context about the repository for future conversations.
