In brief
As an input door for identifiers when building, executing, testing, debugging or configuring, in Codex, an application, interface, script, CLI, or generator that relies on OpenAI, or an AI tool whose provider is not specified, including a request formulated only as "using AI". It also covers the configuration of OPENAI API KEY or a sk-proj key. The SKILL.md specifies not to block a model or prompt migration that can progress through source modifications and offline validation. Otherwise, she inspects safely, asks if a key needs to be reused or created before any of the work done by the user, and never exposes the secret in plain language. It is reserved for local or application Codex sessions, via the secure connector of OpenAI platform.
What it does
- Serves as an identifier check before a job
- Never exposes the key in plain language and distinguishes reuse and creation
Who it is for, and an example
People who, in a local or applicative Codex session, have to place or check an OpenAI key before calling the API.
Example request: "Before calling the API, check if there is already an OPENAI API KEY or a sk-proj key, and never display it in plain language. »
It is reserved for local or applicative Codex sessions, as an identifier check for a work of the API, and not as application, documentation or interface skill; it must not block a model migration or quick offline. Example written by iadujour.fr from the SKILL.md, not tested.

SKILL.md excerpt
The original description, which the agent reads to decide whether to load the skill (in English):
Use when Codex is asked to build, run, test, debug, or configure an OpenAI-backed or provider-unspecified AI app, UI, script, CLI, generator, or tool, especially requests phrased only as "using AI" or generators driven by forms/user input; also use for OPENAI_API_KEY or sk-proj setup. Do not gate model or prompt migrations that can proceed with source edits and offline validation. Otherwise treat […]
