- Use when the user asks how to build with OpenAI products or APIs and needs up-to-date official documentation with citations, help choosing the latest model for a use case, or explicit GPT-5.4 upgrade and prompt-upgrade guidance; prioritize OpenAI docs MCP tools, use bundled references only as helper context, and restrict any fallback browsing to official OpenAI domains.
OpenAI Docs
Provide authoritative, current guidance from OpenAI developer docs using the developers.openai.com MCP server. Always prioritize the developer docs MCP tools over web.run for OpenAI-related questions. This skill may also load targeted files from references/ for model-selection and GPT-5.4-specific requests, but current OpenAI docs remain authoritative. Only if the MCP server is installed and returns no meaningful results should you fall back to web search.
Quick start
- Use
mcp__openaiDeveloperDocs__search_openai_docsto find the most relevant doc pages. - Use
mcp__openaiDeveloperDocs__fetch_openai_docto pull exact sections and quote/paraphrase accurately. - Use
mcp__openaiDeveloperDocs__list_openai_docsonly when you need to browse or discover pages without a clear query. - Load only the relevant file from
references/when the question is about model selection or a GPT-5.4 upgrade.
OpenAI product snapshots
- Apps SDK: Build ChatGPT apps by providing a web component UI and an MCP server that exposes your app's tools to ChatGPT.
- Responses API: A unified endpoint designed for stateful, multimodal, tool-using interactions in agentic workflows.
- Chat Completions API: Generate a model response from a list of messages comprising a conversation.
- Codex: OpenAI's coding agent for software development that can write, understand, review, and debug code.
- gpt-oss: Open-weight OpenAI reasoning models (gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b) released under the Apache 2.0 license.
- Realtime API: Build low-latency, multimodal experiences including natural speech-to-speech conversations.
- Agents SDK: A toolkit for building agentic apps where a model can use tools and context, hand off to other agents, stream partial results, and keep a full trace.
If MCP server is missing
If MCP tools fail or no OpenAI docs resources are available:
- Run the install command yourself:
codex mcp add openaiDeveloperDocs --url https://developers.openai.com/mcp - If it fails due to permissions/sandboxing, immediately retry the same command with escalated permissions and include a 1-sentence justification for approval. Do not ask the user to run it yet.
- Only if the escalated attempt fails, ask the user to run the install command.
- Ask the user to restart Codex.
- Re-run the doc search/fetch after restart.
Workflow
- Clarify the product scope and whether the request is general docs lookup, model selection, a GPT-5.4 upgrade, or a GPT-5.4 prompt upgrade.
- If it is a model-selection request, load
references/latest-model.md. - If it is an explicit GPT-5.4 upgrade request, load
references/upgrading-to-gpt-5p4.md. - If the upgrade may require prompt changes, or the workflow is research-heavy, tool-heavy, coding-oriented, multi-agent, or long-running, also load
references/gpt-5p4-prompting-guide.md. - Search docs with a precise query.
- Fetch the best page and the exact section needed (use
anchorwhen possible). - For GPT-5.4 upgrade reviews, always make the per-usage-site output explicit: target model, starting reasoning recommendation,
phaseassessment when relevant, prompt blocks, and compatibility status. - Answer with concise guidance and cite the doc source, using the reference files only as helper context.
Reference map
Read only what you need:
references/latest-model.md-> model-selection and "best/latest/current model" questions; verify every recommendation against current OpenAI docs before answering.references/upgrading-to-gpt-5p4.md-> only for explicit GPT-5.4 upgrade and upgrade-planning requests; verify the checklist and compatibility guidance against current OpenAI docs before answering.references/gpt-5p4-prompting-guide.md-> prompt rewrites and prompt-behavior upgrades for GPT-5.4; verify prompting guidance against current OpenAI docs before answering.
Quality rules
- Treat OpenAI docs as the source of truth; avoid speculation.
- Keep quotes short and within policy limits; prefer paraphrase with citations.
- If multiple pages differ, call out the difference and cite both.
- Reference files are convenience guides only; for volatile guidance such as recommended models, upgrade instructions, or prompting advice, current OpenAI docs always win.
- If docs do not cover the user’s need, say so and offer next steps.
Tooling notes
- Always use MCP doc tools before any web search for OpenAI-related questions.
- If the MCP server is installed but returns no meaningful results, then use web search as a fallback.
- When falling back to web search, restrict to official OpenAI domains (developers.openai.com, platform.openai.com) and cite sources.
