openai / openai-cookbook

The repository itself is a large set of Python notebooks and guides for working with the OpenAI API — set an OPENAI_API_KEY and the examples run — meant to be read on cookbook.openai.com and adapted by hand. Its README never mentions a skill, an agent tool, or anything meant to be installed rather than copied.

The one skill this page is built around, bootstrap-realtime-eval, is a narrow utility: it scaffolds a new realtime-eval folder inside examples/evals/realtime_evals, picks the matching harness, generates prompt, tools, and data files plus a README, and validates the result with a smoke run, a full eval, and a test run. It exists to make it faster to add another example to that one corner of the cookbook, not to do anything outside it.

Who this is for. Someone already contributing realtime-eval examples to this exact repository. If you came looking for OpenAI API examples in general, or a skill library, this page's single entry will not be it — the cookbook itself, at cookbook.openai.com, is the resource you actually want.

What this page is not. A one-skill extraction from a 74,559-star example repository is not a judgment on the cookbook's value — it is a statement about how little of it is packaged as an agent skill. Everything else in the repository stays a notebook meant to be read, not a skill meant to be invoked.
