Step 2: Create Your Skill

Copy and paste this prompt:

Using your skill creator skill create a new skill for OpenAI Agents SDK.
I will use it to build AI agents from hello world to professional production
systems. Use context7 skill to study official documentation and then build
it so no self assumed knowledge.

Claude will:

1. Fetch official OpenAI Agents SDK documentation via Context7
2. Ask you clarifying questions (tool patterns, handoff needs, guardrails)
3. Create the complete skill with references and templates

Your skill appears at .claude/skills/openai-agents/.
