Description

Split from OpenHands/OpenHands#7752

I understand from slack that Graham proposed to offer an easy way to specify repos to clone, if more than one repo is desired:

---
dependency_repos:
- frontend: OpenHands/OpenHands
- backend: OpenHands/software-agent-sdk
---

Maybe then we could clone automatically, or maybe we can insert a sentence for the agent to start by cloning those repos.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating frontmatter parsing and the repository-cloning or agent-setup paths; then resolve whether the field should trigger cloning or only add guidance. Done means the chosen behavior is implemented for multiple repositories and covered by tests.
