Good morning, this is your OpenAI Skills briefing for April 29th, 2026.
Dominik Kundel merged pull request 378, removing the curated Sora skill from the skills repository. This was a complete removal - over 2,400 lines of code deleted across 14 files. The deletion included the entire skills/.curated/sora directory, removing the skill documentation, agent manifest, Python scripts, visual…
The motivation was straightforward: remove the Sora skill package and all associated runtime documentation so it no longer appears in the skills catalog. Since skill discovery in this repository is directory-based, no other code modifications were required.
The team conducted thorough testing to ensure clean removal. They verified no remaining references to Sora exist in the codebase, confirmed the directory deletion, and checked that the changes are properly reflected in the working tree.
What's next: The skills catalog will no longer list the Sora skill for discovery or installation. Users will need to look elsewhere for Sora integration capabilities.
That's your update for today. We'll be back tomorrow with the latest from OpenAI's development activity.
