Claude Code skill · anthropic · active
This skill guides you through building applications with OpenAI's Assistants API. It helps you set up persistent conversations (called threads), add tools like file search and code execution, and manage the back-and-forth between your app and OpenAI. You'll get working code examples and best practices.
Developers building chatbots, research tools, or document search features that need to remember conversations or run code without building those capabilities from scratch.
You mention OpenAI Assistants, Threads, Runs, file search, vector stores, code interpreter, or custom function calling for OpenAI.
- "Show me how to build a research assistant with the OpenAI Assistants API that can search through files"
- "I want to create a chatbot that remembers conversation history. Should I use Chat Completions or Assistants?"
- "How do I set up code interpreter in OpenAI Assistants to analyze data files?"
You received working Python code that uses the OpenAI beta API to set up an Assistant, Thread, and Run, along with clear guidance on whether Assistants or Chat Completions is right for your use case.

Once you deploy it (above), every run will show up here with the actual output, exact cost, and a thumbs button so you can rate quality over time.
Claude Code skill at /Users/olanrewajukareem/.claude/skills/openai-assistants-api/SKILL.md. Auto-triggered by description matching when you type in Claude Code, OR embedded into agent system prompts (LeadFlow framework skills are wired this way). Auto-synced from disk every 6h via launchd.
Use this skill when building with OpenAI's Assistants API, including the Assistant + Thread + Run model, function calling, code interpreter, file search, vector stores, and streaming. Triggers on "OpenAI Assistants", "Assistants API", "OpenAI Thread"
Local Claude Code use (optional)
Install the SKILL.md file locally so this skill is available the next time you open Claude Code on your Mac. Most users skip this and just use cloud deployments above.
Save this skill to ~/.claude/skills/openai-assistants-api/SKILL.md so Claude Code auto-loads it whenever its description matches your prompt.

}That means either: (a) the system has not had a task that matched its strengths, (b) a more cost-effective alternative was picked by the router, or (c) the related automation is toggled OFF on /automations. The Recommender reviews idle tools weekly and may suggest killing it.
