Use this skill only in Codex local/app sessions. Create keys through the secure OpenAI Platform connector, keep plaintext out of normal tool output, and write secrets only to a confirmed local destination.
Openai Platform API Key is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the engineering-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/openai-platform-api-key/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when Codex is asked to build, run, test, debug, or configure an OpenAI-backed or provider-unspecified AI app, UI, script, CLI, generator, or tool, especially requests phrased only as "using AI" or generators driven by forms/user input; also use for OPENAI_API_KEY or sk-proj setup. Treat this as the credential gate: inspect safely, ask reuse-vs-new before API work, and never expose plaintext.
The Openai Platform API Key Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 146,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
