name	openai-swarm-transition
description	Study OpenAI Swarm as a lightweight historical handoff pattern and migration reference. Use when maintaining an existing Swarm prototype or when you need to translate a small handoff demo into the modern OpenAI Agents SDK.
measurable_outcome	Identify whether a Swarm workflow should be retained for education only or migrated to the OpenAI Agents SDK, with one concrete migration note.

OpenAI Swarm Transition Reference

Workflow

1. Read references/sources.md before using this directory.
2. Treat Swarm as transition material first, not as the default runtime for new production builds.
3. Identify the core handoff pattern that still matters: explicit agents, explicit tools, and explicit transfer boundaries.
4. Map the retained behavior to the modern OpenAI path in Skills/AI_Providers/OpenAI_Agents_SDK_2026/.
5. Keep any surviving Swarm usage limited to education, quick local demos, or migration bridges.

When to Use

• You inherited a small Swarm proof of concept.
• You want to preserve explicit handoff concepts while migrating to the Agents SDK.
• You need a minimal educational example of agent-to-agent handoff without introducing a full runtime.

Output Requirements

• State whether the workload should migrate immediately or remain a local educational demo.
• Name one Swarm pattern worth preserving.
• Name one Agents SDK replacement path for that pattern.
• Include one reason not to use Swarm for new production builds.
