openai-docs

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.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
6 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by JetBrains on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Openai Docs AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/JetBrains/skills/tree/main/openai-docs
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/JetBrains/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/openai-docs .claude/skills/openai-docs

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Openai Docs in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Openai Docs on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Openai Docs is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

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_docs to find the most relevant doc pages.
Use mcp__openaiDeveloperDocs__fetch_openai_doc to pull exact sections and quote/paraphrase accurately.
Use mcp__openaiDeveloperDocs__list_openai_docs only 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 anchor when possible).
For GPT-5.4 upgrade reviews, always make the per-usage-site output explicit: target model, starting reasoning recommendation, phase assessment 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.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Openai Docs AI skill do?

Why use Openai Docs on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Openai Docs is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Openai Docs in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/JetBrains/skills/tree/main/openai-docs. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Openai Docs?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Openai Docs?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Openai Docs with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Openai Docs AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by JetBrains. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
