What it does

Openai Docs is an agent skill from theowenyoung/home. Use for Codex models/pricing, scheduled tasks, skills, settings, setup, troubleshooting, customization, automations, and self-knowledge—including 'you,' 'your,' 'this app,' or 'this coding agent' when they refer to Codex—and for OpenAI APIs/products and ChatGPT Work. Also use for model choice/migration, prompting, SDKs, Responses, Realtime, agents, evals, and Chat/Work/Codex comparisons. Do not use for generic app/software tasks that merely mention Codex.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 20 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/codex-self-knowledge.md` and `references/latest-model.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering LLM evaluation, LLM API integration and Scheduled and recurring tasks. It works with OpenAI. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Codex models/pricing
  • Scheduled tasks
  • Troubleshooting
  • Self-knowledge—including you

Example prompts

  • “this app,”
  • “this coding agent”
  • “/openai-docs”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9bf3ea9. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 3 files in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Openai Docs loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 118 tokens; SKILL.md has 603 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~118
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~14k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

OpenAI Docs

Provide current, cited OpenAI product, API, model, and Codex guidance. Read zero or one primary reference.

First substantive action: Search the user's exact requested official OpenAI documentation topic and any explicitly named model using a concise, topic-specific query of 2-6 essential terms. When an already-available direct official documentation search and page-retrieval capability is present, use it first: search, then fetch or open the matching official page before general web search. Otherwise, immediately use official-domain web search, then actually open or fetch the relevant official page. Complete this source order before reading a reference, inspecting local or repository files, running a Codex manual or model resolver, drafting a plan, or answering from memory. Use the actual fetched page, not a search snippet or an unopened link. If one official search or page does not establish the answer, search another appropriate official domain and actually open or fetch the result. Preserve the exact requested model; never substitute a newer model.

Only exception: An explicitly requested, genuinely broad, cross-topic Codex setup, orientation, or system-map synthesis may use the manual first when shell execution and an allowed temporary cache are available. A specific Codex feature, setting, command, error, model, or requested citation remains docs-first. Mixed Chat/Work/Codex comparisons are official documentation questions, not manual-first Codex requests.

For generic software tasks, answer the software task directly. OpenAI implementation, debugging, SDK, API, prompting, agent, and eval requests are not generic.

For a straightforward factual or citation-only request, follow the source order and do not read a route reference. This includes straightforward API facts, ChatGPT Work or mixed Chat/Work/Codex comparisons, model tiers, aliases, Pro mode, reasoning settings, factual migration baselines, and narrow Codex facts. Prioritize learn.chatgpt.com for ChatGPT Work.

Choose one primary route

Use the first matching route, and read its reference only when the requested task needs that specialized workflow:

  • Explicitly requested local documentation integration: Read integration guidance only when the user explicitly requests that local integration.
  • Model migration, upgrades, or model-specific prompting: Read model-migration.md for actual migration planning, implementation, dynamic target resolution, or prompt changes. Preserve an explicitly requested target.
  • Model selection and comparisons: Read model-selection.md only when nuanced current, latest, default, cost, latency, quality, or modality tradeoffs need more guidance. Do not run a migration resolver for selection alone.
  • Product, API, ChatGPT Work, and mixed Chat/Work/Codex documentation: Read official-docs.md only when fetched official pages leave source selection, API schemas, or the requested implementation unresolved. This route is not manual-first.
  • Explicitly broad Codex setup, orientation, or cross-topic synthesis: Read codex-self-knowledge.md when the eligible Codex manual or deeper Codex procedures are needed.

Read at most one primary reference. Do not open every route, bundled model guide, or helper script. Read a supporting reference or run a helper only when the chosen workflow demonstrably needs it.

Source and execution boundaries

  • Search, open, fetch, and cite only developers.openai.com, platform.openai.com, and learn.chatgpt.com. Cite the page that supports the claim. State uncertainty when official sources do not establish pricing, availability, account access, limits, or behavior.
  • Preserve an explicitly requested model for selection, migration, and prompting. Resolve an unspecified latest or current migration target only after searching and fetching current official guidance.
  • Use references/latest-model.md only as a disclosed fallback after current official model guidance does not answer the question. Read references/upgrading-to-gpt-6-astra.md only for an actual, requested GPT-6 migration; read references/prompting-guide.md only for requested prompting work.
  • Before building, running, editing, debugging, or testing an API-backed app or tool, use openai-platform-api-key first when available. Documentation, conceptual examples, model selection, and read-only guidance do not require an API key.
  • Say "OpenAI Docs" or "official OpenAI documentation" in user-facing answers. Keep exact official citations and examples concise.

With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add theowenyoung/home --skill openai-docs -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/openai-docs, .gemini/skills/openai-docs, .github/skills/openai-docs and .opencode/skills/openai-docs in your project.

What does Openai Docs need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Openai Docs needs JavaScript for the scripts in its folder. Our summary lists: Node.js.

Does Openai Docs access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Openai Docs safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Openai Docs use?

Openai Docs is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (from the LICENSE file in the skill folder). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Openai Docs use?

About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 13k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
