Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned openai/openai-agents-python at e6c680672c.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

The openai-knowledge skill enables AI agents to retrieve and utilize information from OpenAI's official documentation, ensuring responses are grounded in current, verified details about their models and tools. It acts as a dynamic knowledge base that allows agents to answer queries regarding model capabilities, API changes, and feature specifications without relying on static training data.

When to use it

  • Resolving user questions about specific OpenAI model parameters or performance characteristics.
  • Clarifying the latest updates to the Chat Completions or Embeddings APIs.
  • Verifying feature availability for new products like Assistants or Functions Calling.
  • Providing accurate guidance on authentication methods and rate limits.

Key capabilities

  • Accesses real-time documentation from OpenAI's official sources.
  • Retrieves specific details about model versions and technical specifications.
  • Supports queries regarding API endpoints, parameters, and usage examples.
  • Maintains accuracy by referencing the most recent official releases.

Example prompts

  • "What are the current rate limits for the GPT-4 Turbo model?"
  • "How do I configure temperature settings in the latest Chat Completions API?"
  • "Explain the differences between the o1 and o3 reasoning models."

Tips & gotchas

This skill is strictly limited to OpenAI's own documentation; it cannot answer questions about third-party libraries or unrelated technical topics. Ensure your agent has network access to fetch the latest docs, as cached versions may miss recent updates.
