Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
node --versionopenai-docs-skillExecute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches openai-docs-skill from am-will/codex-skills and configures it for Cursor.
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate openai-docs-skill. Access via /openai-docs-skill in your agent's command palette.
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.

Use the OpenAI developer documentation MCP server from the shell to search and fetch authoritative docs. Always do this for OpenAI platform work instead of relying on memory or non-official sources.
scripts/openai-docs-mcp.sh (do not rely on Codex MCP tools).search or list to find the best doc page, then fetch the page (or anchor) for exact text.scripts/openai-docs-mcp.sh search "Responses API" 5
scripts/openai-docs-mcp.sh fetch https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/migrate-to-responses
search with a focused query. If unsure, use list to browse.fetch the most relevant URL (optionally add an anchor).The CLI wrapper is at scripts/openai-docs-mcp.sh and uses curl + jq against https://developers.openai.com/mcp.
Subcommands:
init: initialize and inspect server capabilities.tools: list available tools on the MCP server.search <query> [limit] [cursor]: return JSON hits from the docs index.list [limit] [cursor]: browse docs index.fetch <url> [anchor]: return markdown for a doc page or section.endpoints: list OpenAPI endpoints.openapi <endpoint-url> [lang1,lang2] [code-only]: fetch OpenAPI schema or code samples.Environment:
