Running from Anywhere

Option 1: Full path (easiest)

1cd ~/Documents/projects/uv/OpenManus && uv run main.py --prompt "your task here"

Option 2: From this folder (HBstack blog)

1uv run ~/Documents/projects/uv/OpenManus/main.py --prompt "your task here"

Option 3: Interactive mode

1cd ~/Documents/projects/uv/OpenManus && uv run main.py
2# Then type your prompt when asked

Option 4: Planning flow (for complex multi-step tasks)

1cd ~/Documents/projects/uv/OpenManus && uv run run_flow.py

Current Config

Setting	Value
Provider	OpenRouter
Model	`anthropic/claude-haiku-4.5`
Input cost	$1.00 per million tokens
Output cost	$5.00 per million tokens
Max steps	20 (per session)

Writing Good Prompts

✅ DO: Be specific with a deliverable

Good Prompt	Why
`Analyze my Hugo site at /home/ag-sayyed/Documents/projects/hbstack/ghafoors-blog and give a summary of the theme, config, and content structure`	Clear goal + output format
`Find all broken internal links in my Hugo site at /path/to/site`	Specific task, measurable result
`Add a new "contact" page with a form to my Hugo site at /path/to/site`	Concrete deliverable
`Update the homepage hero section to say "Welcome to my blog" in /path/to/site`	Small, focused change
`List all custom shortcodes in /path/to/site and explain what each does`	Specific scope
`Suggest 3 performance improvements for my Hugo site based on /path/to/site/config.toml`	Analytical, bounded task

❌ AVOID: Vague prompts with no deliverable

Bad Prompt	Problem
`Explore my Hugo site`	No goal — wanders aimlessly, wastes tokens
`Look at my site`	Same — no clear end condition
`Check my config`	Too vague, doesn’t know what to check for
`Help me with my site`	Way too broad

💡 Tips to Save Money

Be specific about which files — instead of “analyze my site”, say “check config.toml and the homepage content”
Set a clear output — “give me a bullet list”, “write the changes to file X”, “summarize in 3 sentences”
One task at a time — each prompt is a fresh session, so break big jobs into focused steps
Use full paths — always include the absolute path to your project so OpenManus finds it regardless of where you run from
