deep-research-openai

name	deep-research-openai
description	Run OpenAI deep research models through the Responses API with explicit effort, model, cost, and output controls. Use when launching citation-backed OpenAI research runs, smoke-testing OpenAI provider behavior, or capturing reproducible benchmark output.

OpenAI Deep Research

Use this skill for autonomous, citation-backed research through OpenAI's Deep Research models. Prefer o4-mini-deep-research for benchmark calls because the repo target is less than $1 per task.

Environment

op run --env-file .env.climbhill -- python .agents/skills/deep-research-openai/scripts/run_deep_research.py \
  --prompt "deepresearch the deepresearchers" \
  --model o4-mini-deep-research \
  --effort low

Required 1Password-backed variable:

• OPENAI_API_KEY

Cost Controls

• Use o4-mini-deep-research before o3-deep-research.
• Use --effort low for benchmark smoke tasks.
• Keep prompts narrow and request concise reports.
• Save raw output, then normalize it with deep-research-okf-normalize.
