Openai Typespec Update

OpenAI TypeSpec Update

Use this skill when the task is specifically about updating the

@azure-tools/openai-typespec dependency that provides imported OpenAI

models and views consumed from tspconfig.yaml files in this repo.

Repo-Specific Context

• The dependency is managed from the repo-root package.json.
• OpenAI TypeSpec definitions are imported from tspconfig.yaml files,

such as:

• @azure-tools/openai-typespec/models/...
• @azure-tools/openai-typespec/views/client-emitters/...
• In this environment, npm may be configured with min-release-age=7 in

the global npm config at C:\nvm4w\nodejs\etc\npmrc. This blocks

same-day package versions unless the lock file already pins them.

Required Update Rule

Always install the dependency with an exact version:

npm i @azure-tools/openai-typespec --save-exact

If the user asks for a specific version, pin that exact version:

npm i @azure-tools/openai-typespec@<version> --save-exact

Do not use a caret range. Exact pins prevent accidental drift in the

OpenAI definition package.

Steps

• Inspect the current pin in the repo-root package.json.
• Update with an exact install using `npm i

@azure-tools/openai-typespec --save-exact (or append @<version>` if

the user specified a version).

• If npm fails with an age-gate error like `No matching version found

for @azure-tools/[email protected] with a date before

2026-06-30, 10:37:15 a.m., check npm config get min-release-age`

and the global npm config path with npm config get globalconfig.

• For a targeted install of a known-published version blocked only by

this age gate, rerun the exact install with --min-release-age=0,

for example:

     npm i @azure-tools/openai-typespec@<version> --save-exact --min-release-age=0

• Check the resulting version spec in package.json.
• If the dependency value contains a caret (^), warn the user that

the package is not pinned exactly and should be changed to an exact

version.

• Keep package files aligned.
• Update package.json and package-lock.json together.
• Do not hand-edit package-lock.json.
• Review affected imports in relevant tspconfig.yaml files when

the package update is meant to refresh models or views used by Azure

AI Foundry specs.

Examples

• "Update the OpenAI TypeSpec definitions to the latest version."
• "Bump @azure-tools/openai-typespec and make sure it is pinned

exactly."

• "Refresh the OpenAI TypeSpec package for Foundry."
• "Check whether our @azure-tools/openai-typespec dependency uses a

caret."

Warnings

• If the dependency spec is ^<version>, explicitly warn the user that

caret ranges are not allowed for this package update flow.

• If the request is to modify .tsp API shapes rather than update the

package dependency, use the azure-typespec-author skill instead.
