Documents & visuals
10
- answers-charts Use when a chart would communicate a categorical comparison, trend, composition, or numeric relationship more clearly than prose.
- answers-images Use when retrieved images would visually ground or meaningfully improve an answer.
- answers-learning Use when the user explicitly requests flashcards, an objective multiple-choice knowledge quiz, or pronunciation help and an interactive learning widget would improve the answer.
- documents Create, edit, redline, and comment on .docx, Word, and Google Docs-targeted document artifacts inside the container, with a strict render-and-verify workflow. Use render_docx.py to generate page PNGs (and optional PDF) for visual QA, then iterate until layout is flawless before delivering the final document.
- imagegen Generate or edit raster images when the task benefits from AI-created bitmap visuals such as photos, illustrations, textures, sprites, mockups, or transparent-background cutouts. Use when Codex should create a brand-new image, transform an existing image, or derive visual variants from references, and the output should be a bitmap asset rather than repo-native code or vector. Do not use when the task is better handled by editing existing SVG/vector/code-native assets, extending an established icon or logo system, or building the visual directly in HTML/CSS/canvas.
- pdf Read, create, inspect, render, and verify PDF files where visual layout matters, including fillable AcroForms. Use Poppler rendering plus Python tools such as reportlab, pdfplumber, and pypdf for generation and extraction.
- Presentations Read, create or edit PowerPoint or Google Slides decks. Use for presentation, slide deck, PowerPoint, PPT, PPTX, or Google Slides requests.
- Spreadsheets Use this skill when a user requests to create, modify, analyze, visualize, or work with spreadsheet files (.xlsx, .xls, .csv, .tsv) or Google Sheets-targeted spreadsheet artifacts with formulas, formatting, charts, tables, and recalculation.
- visualize Create visualizations and interactive tools directly in conversation. Proactively use to show how something works; explore 'what happens when', 'what changes', or 'help me understand'; compare or inspect; create simulations, maps, charts, graphs, and mockups. Use standard tools for static scientific figures.
- writing-blocks Present complete drafts of requested text in a writing block, including emails, messages, social posts, bios, blurbs, statements, and individual paragraphs. Prefer creating or editing a file for standalone documents or long-form content instead of a writing block.
Browser & Sites
4
- control-browser Control a browser for authenticated or public web tasks requiring live site state or interaction. For selecting a sign-in method or entering sign-in credentials, use only the advertised browserAuth capability. For public lookups, use web search first; NEVER fall back to Browser if search fails. Use Browser only when successful search lacks necessary data or direct site interaction is required. ALWAYS prefer applicable plugins; NEVER fall back to Browser if one is unavailable or fails.
- sites:sites-building Use Sites to build websites, including landing pages, portfolios, dashboards, portals, trackers, hubs, and internal tools. Always use Sites when the project contains .openai/hosting.json.
- sites:sites-hosting Host websites with Sites. Use with sites-building for Site registration, publishing, and deployment verification, or for hosting management without changing source.
