Find Current OpenAI and Codex Documentation

OpenAI products, models, and APIs change quickly, making remembered guidance unreliable. This skill retrieves current official documentation and provides concise, cited answers.

Stop for confirmation before installing.

Review the plan and obtain explicit user consent before changing files.

Install with my Agent

Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.

Agent request

Review the Skillstore skill "openai-docs" from https://skillstore.io/skills/openai-docs.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/openai-docs/manifest. Verify the artifact. Stop and obtain explicit user consent before installing or changing files.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it

Using "openai-docs". Which OpenAI API should handle a stateful tool-using workflow?

Expected outcome:

Recommendation: use the documented Responses API workflow. The answer explains state handling, tool calls, limitations, and cites the relevant official guide.

Using "openai-docs". Plan our migration from a named model to a newer target.

Expected outcome:

Target decision based on current official model guidance.
Compatibility changes for requests, tools, reasoning, and state.
Prompt updates only where documented behavior requires them.
Validation checks and citations for each consequential change.

Using "openai-docs". Why is the OpenAI documentation MCP server unavailable in my local Codex client?

Expected outcome:

A focused diagnostic covering supported setup, enabled state, policy, authorization, refresh requirements, and evidence needed before claiming success.

Security Audit

High Risk

v1 • 8/17/2026 Open versioned report

Most static matches are false positives caused by SVG coordinates, Markdown text, regular-expression calls, or JavaScript template literals. Confirmed behavior includes official network requests, cache writes, environment reads, shell execution, and a curl fallback. Unrestricted sources and cache destinations create SSRF, argument-injection, local-read, and overwrite risks.

Confirmed security concerns (3)

High

scripts/fetch-codex-manual.mjs:133-138 scripts/fetch-codex-manual.mjs:509-510

Unvalidated Manual URL Enables SSRF and Curl Option Injection

The manual URL accepts arbitrary targets and reaches curl without an option terminator, enabling internal requests or curl option injection.

The CLI value is appended directly to curl arguments and no scheme, host, or option-prefix validation occurs.

Medium

scripts/resolve-latest-model-info.cjs:14-25 scripts/resolve-latest-model-info.cjs:32-45

Unrestricted Model Source Reads Local Files or Arbitrary URLs

Environment variables and command arguments can select any local path or HTTP URL, bypassing the skill's official-domain boundary.

The resolver explicitly accepts environment and CLI sources, then reads local files or fetches any HTTP endpoint.

Medium

scripts/fetch-codex-manual.mjs:286-296 scripts/fetch-codex-manual.mjs:394-405 scripts/fetch-codex-manual.mjs:511-512

Unrestricted Cache Directory Can Replace Files

A user-selected cache directory receives fixed filenames through rename operations, which can replace existing files in any writable directory.

The override accepts any writable directory and atomically renames fixed cache filenames over existing entries.

Capability review items (37)

These are real local capabilities that may be expected for this skill, so they require review but are not counted as confirmed malicious behavior.

What You Can Build

Verify API Behavior

Confirm endpoints, request fields, SDK behavior, and error handling against current official documentation.

Plan a Model Migration

Compare targets and identify model, prompt, tool, state, compatibility, and testing changes.

Configure Codex

Find current guidance for Codex settings, skills, plugins, MCP, automations, setup, and troubleshooting.

Try These Prompts

Find an Official Answer

Find current official OpenAI documentation for [topic]. Answer [question] concisely and cite the supporting page.

Compare Two Models

Compare [model A] and [model B] for [workload] using current official documentation. Evaluate quality, latency, cost, modalities, and availability.

Plan a Verified Migration

Plan a migration from [current model] to [target model] for [application]. Identify API, prompting, tool, state, compatibility, and testing changes with citations.

Audit an OpenAI Integration

Audit this OpenAI integration against current official documentation: [system description]. Identify unsupported assumptions, schema mismatches, migration risks, and the smallest verified fixes.

Best Practices

Name the exact product, model, API, or Codex feature in the request.
Preserve explicitly requested models and state workload constraints before asking for recommendations.
Use cited official pages for current facts and disclose any bundled fallback.

Avoid

Do not ask for current pricing, availability, or limits without requiring official citations.
Do not treat a search snippet, memory, or bundled snapshot as current documentation.
Do not request configuration changes when only a documentation answer is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which sources does this skill use?

It uses official OpenAI developer documentation, platform documentation, ChatGPT Work learning pages, and narrowly selected bundled references.

Can it choose an OpenAI model?

Yes. It compares documented workload fit, quality, latency, cost, modality, and availability while preserving any explicitly requested model.

Can it update my application?

It can guide or implement requested changes after verifying current API and model documentation. API-backed execution may require a separate credential workflow.

Does it know my account limits or access?

No. It states uncertainty when official documentation does not establish account-specific access, quotas, pricing, billing, or rollout status.

What happens when live documentation is unavailable?

It may use a relevant bundled fallback, clearly disclose that choice, and warn that the information may be outdated.

Can it configure the OpenAI documentation MCP server?

Yes, for a supported local Codex client after explicit authorization. It verifies current setup guidance and does not claim success without evidence.
