OpenAI publishes Astra guide for migrating skills and prompts
OpenAI's guide explains how AGENTS.md and Skills rules written for older models can slow Astra down or make it stop early, and includes a prompt asking Astra to review a project and suggest minimal changes.
OpenAI just published a guide to updating your skills and prompts for Astra. You can ask Astra to use it to review the old rules in your project. You ask for a typo fix, but the AI first reads all your architecture, database, and deployment docs. That’s an example from the guide. You’ve changed models, but the instructions you added to keep earlier models from making mistakes may now cause unnecessary work or make Astra stop before the task is finished. Send this prompt and the link below to Astra 👇 “Read this guide and review my project’s AGENTS.md and Skills. Identify overly broad skill triggers, documents you’re required to read for every task, redundant checks, conflicting instructions, and rules that make you stop for confirmation before the task is complete. For each issue, quote the original instruction, explain its potential impact, and suggest the smallest change needed. List any proposals involving safety, permission boundaries, or reduced verification separately for me to decide. Show me the recommendations first. Don’t modify anything yet.” https://developers.openai.com/blog/rethinking-skills-and-prompts-for-gpt-6-astra
