openai/skills
OpenAI has deprecated its standalone skills catalog. Builders should use the Plugins repository and current plugin guide for examples, including skill-only packaging.
The **openai/skills repository is deprecated**. OpenAI now directs builders to the **OpenAI Plugins repository** for current examples and to the Build plugins guide for creating skill-only plugins.
Move future skill discovery and packaging work to the plugin path. Treat skills as reusable bundles of instructions, scripts, and resources, and verify installation guidance against the current documentation.
The **openai/skills repository is deprecated**. OpenAI now directs builders to the **OpenAI Plugins repository** for current examples and to the Build plugins guide for creating skill-only plugins. Move future skill discovery and packaging work to the plugin path. Treat skills as reusable bundles of instructions, scripts, and resources, and verify installation guidance against the current documentation. The deprecated repository still describes older flows such as installing curated skills and restarting Codex. Those instructions may remain informative, but the material explicitly points elsewhere for the maintained approach.
This changes the maintained OpenAI path from a standalone skills repository to plugins that can package skills with related resources. Existing skill concepts remain useful, but discovery, installation, and examples should now be checked against the plugin repository and current guide; older restart and curated-install flows are historical guidance rather than the default operating model.
