AI APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT / OpenAI

OpenAI Agents SDK Workflow

Builds a small Agents SDK application around an explicit workflow contract, then checks the real agent path and optional local deployment.

“Build, run, deploy, and evaluate OpenAI Agents SDK apps from Codex. Use when the user asks to create or adapt an Agents SDK app, build”

01 / THE REASONING

Why this made the selection.

  • Starts with a single agent and adds tools, delegation or sandboxing only when the application needs them.
  • Designs evaluations around tool use, approval behavior and state changes rather than exact generated prose.

02 / THE REVIEW RECORD

What we actually inspected.

Source review has boundaries.
A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge.

Material inspected

  • plugins/openai-developers/skills/agents-sdk/SKILL.md
  • plugins/openai-developers/skills/openai-platform-api-key/SKILL.md
  • plugins/openai-developers/.codex-plugin/plugin.json
  • plugins/openai-developers/README.md

Our findings

  • The definition requires current Agents and Sandbox Agents documentation before selecting APIs or execution behavior.
  • The credential companion separates a reuse/new-key decision from confirmed secret-file placement and prohibits printing key values.
  • Deployment checks distinguish manager health, application readiness and generated changes to the working tree.

Not established by this review

  • Source inspection only; no skill installation or workflow execution was performed.

The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior.

03 / PUT IT TO WORK

Add a skill to your workflow.

Upstream setup instructions ↗
  1. Use the complete openai-developers Codex plugin through its supported distribution and setup instructions.
  2. Retain plugin-level references and companion skills; this is not a standalone SKILL.md installation.
  3. Confirm plugin availability and any required connectors in the Codex host before invoking the workflow.

Before you start

  • A Codex host with access to this plugin and its applicable service terms
  • OpenAI API access and confirmed credential setup
  • Project tooling; Docker if using that local deployment target
