BB azure-openai-to-responses

Migrate Python apps from Azure OpenAI Chat Completions to the Responses API. Covers AzureOpenAI/AsyncAzureOpenAI client migration to the v1 endpoint, streaming, tools, structured output, multi-turn, EntraID auth, and model compatibility checks. Python-focused, Azure OpenAI-specific. USE FOR: migrate to responses API, switch from chat completions, openai responses, upgrade openai SDK, responses API migration, move from completions to responses, gpt-5 migration, azure openai python migration, chat completions to responses, AzureOpenAI to OpenAI client, python azure openai upgrade. DO NOT USE FOR: building new apps from scratch (start with responses directly), Node/TypeScript/C#/Java/Go migrations (this skill is Python-only), Azure infrastructure setup (use azure-prepare), deploying models (use microsoft-foundry).

The skillemall take

This skill guides migrating Python apps from Azure OpenAI Chat Completions to the Responses API. Promises coverage of AzureOpenAI/AsyncAzureOpenAI client migration, streaming, tools, structured output, multi-turn conversations, EntraID auth, and model compatibility checks.

Five modules and one script in the repo. Quality score 83, process score 67. No critical errors, links intact. Grade B means the instructions work but have gaps—likely edge cases or examples need refinement. Not tested on models.

Use it if you're migrating an existing Chat Completions project and can adapt to your codebase. For greenfield projects, start with Responses directly.

How to improve

  1. The SKILL.md body is over 5,000 tokens: move reference detail into references/ and load it when needed.
For the model run — optional
  • Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
  • A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Against the Agent Skills spec

  • warning body-long SKILL.md body ≈ 5738 tokens (recommended < 5000); move details to references/
  • note edit-residue the text marks something as outdated (lines 120, 154, 172, 194, 232, 234): check that old rules are not kept next to new ones — the full check reads the text for contradictions

Process rating: all ten parameters 67/100

  • 40Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
  • 50When it triggers. No condition that starts the skill
  • 55Failures and branches. 1 branches
  • 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web, git, python) that frontmatter does not declare
  • 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
  • 70Execution cost. Instruction body is 5738 tokens
  • 85Steps. 92 steps, 3 vague phrases
  • 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
  • 100Running it twice. Mutating operations check current state
  • 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
  • medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
  • low 13 top-level sections: this looks like several domains in one skill

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
