OpenAI lets MCP plugins ship bundled "skills" baked into ChatGPT and Codex
dfinke · x · 2026-08-22
OpenAI now lets MCP plugins ship "skills" — bundled instruction guides rather than just tools — that get baked into ChatGPT/Codex at submission time. Think recipe card, not just ingredients.
Key constraints: skills are a snapshot with no live updates, capped at 5 per plugin, and based on a still-unofficial MCP proposal.
