Read Original

This technical article details the integration of 'Skills' into the OpenAI API, demonstrating how to use them via the shell tool. It provides a code example showing how to send a skill (like a word count utility) as inline base64-encoded zip data within a JSON API request, and mentions using tools like Claude Code and Showboat for API exploration and demo creation.
