Usage of OpenAI
Summary
- OpenAI/Codex usage in this vault is mainly about slash commands, skills, and a small set of config files.
Key Points
- In this vault,
AGENTS.md controls agent behavior and SKILL.md files define reusable workflows.
- In API projects, key files are
requirements.txt or pyproject.toml, env files (env or .env), app entry files, and README.md.
- Never hardcode API keys; keep them in environment variables (
OPENAI_API_KEY).
- Keep prompts and model settings in dedicated config/prompt files for maintainability.
- Slash command availability can vary by Codex version and surface (CLI, app, IDE extension).
Examples
- Show all available slash commands in your current client:
Type
/ in the input box, or type ? for shortcuts.
- Core commands commonly available in Codex:
/init, /status, /approvals, /model, /mcp, /mode, /clear, /diff, /skills.
- About
experimental:
It is often a mode/value (for example a thinking display option) rather than a standalone slash command, depending on version.
- Skill usage pattern:
/skills to list skills, then invoke a specific skill with $skill-name.
