How does this skill verify OpenAI API parameters?

It uses the official OpenAI OpenAPI specification as the authoritative source to validate schemas, data types, and constraints for all requests.

Can it help with local debugging of API calls?

Yes, it provides optimized patterns for downloading the spec locally and using Grep to find exact line-level definitions for debugging.

Does this skill support the OpenAI Assistants API?

Yes, it includes comprehensive knowledge of Assistants, Threads, Messages, and Run endpoints based on the latest specification.

How does it handle API versioning?

The skill instructs Claude to reference the version number in the official specification URL to ensure it is working with current API capabilities.

Why is local searching recommended over web fetching?

Local searching via Grep is more reliable for large files, avoiding network timeouts and ensuring every occurrence of a term is found within the schema.
