Skill instructions
OpenAI API Troubleshooting Use this skill for runtime OpenAI API failures after a request has already been made. Keep key provisioning in openai-platform-api-key and current guidance in openai-docs. Routing 1. Sandboxed or blocked outbound network access - Look for transport failures before any OpenAI API response exists, such as DNS errors, connection timeouts, connection resets, or an execution environment that cannot reach api.openai.com. - Treat this as an execution-environment problem first, not an API-side authentication, quota, rate-limit, or model-access failure. - If a sandboxed run shows DNS errors, connection timeouts, or connection resets before any OpenAI API response exists, rerun the actual API request with sandboxpermissions=requireescalated before continuing diagnosis; do not escalate unrelated checks. - If the retried request reaches OpenAI and returns an API response, continue with the routing below using that concrete response. 2. Authentication or missing-key error
