Environment overrides:

Parameter override	What it does	Default
BASE_URL	Adress of the Hotkeyless AHK server	`http://localhost:42800`
TIMEOUT_MS	Timeout milliseconds for each request	4000
BLACKLIST	A list of commands to avoid being called	[]
CACHE_TTL_MS	Cache lifetime for command list in milliseconds	5000
ENDPOINT_LIST	Endpoint address of the command list	`/list`
ENDPOINT_TRIGGER	Endpoint address for invoking commands	`/send`

Agent Skills

Quick start

OpenCode

Copy the ./skills/.opencode/... folders to

.opencode/skills for project specific skill setup
%USERPROFILE%/.config/opencode/skills for global setup

You can adjust AGENTS.md, custom subagents or custom commands to reference the skills
Restart your OpenCode (CLI or Desktop)
When asking the agent to use the "hotkeyless AHK skills" it should now use the skill guide

ClaudeCode

Copy the ./skills/.claude/... folders to

.claude/skills for project specific skill setup
%USERPROFILE%/.config/claude-code/skills for global setup

You can adjust CLAUDE.md, custom subagents or custom commands to reference the skills
Restart your Claude Code
When asking the agent to use the "hotkeyless AHK skills" it should now use the skill guide
