When should I use CrewAI instead of LangGraph?

Use CrewAI when you need role-based collaboration, hierarchical coordination, and agent delegation. LangGraph is better suited for complex, stateful workflows that require manual persistence and fine-grained control over state machines.

Does this skill support the latest OpenAI Agents SDK?

Yes, it includes implementation patterns for the OpenAI Agents SDK v0.7.0, covering specialized features like handoffs, guardrails, and MCPServerManager integration.

Is the Microsoft Agent Framework suitable for production?

The Microsoft Agent Framework is currently in Public Preview and is designed for enterprise environments requiring A2A protocols and high compliance standards, merging the best features of AutoGen and Semantic Kernel.

What are the benefits of using GPT-5.2-Codex for coding tasks?

GPT-5.2-Codex is optimized for long-horizon coding sessions, offering advanced context compaction and security-aware generation, making it ideal for project-scale refactors and complex migrations.
