OpenAI

OpenAI models run through the built-in openai provider.

Setup

1. Create an API key in the OpenAI dashboard.
2. Store it as a repo/org secret named OPENAI_API_KEY and pass it in the workflow env:.
3. Select a model and allowlist the provider in .crabd.yml.

.crabd.yml

model: openai/gpt-5.5
providers:
  allowlist: [openai]

workflow

- uses: louisescher/crabd@v0
  with:
    model: openai/gpt-5.5
  env:
    OPENAI_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.OPENAI_API_KEY }}

Model specifiers

Use openai/<model>, e.g. openai/gpt-5.5. Any model ID your key can access works.

Tips

• Mix providers per mode, e.g. review with OpenAI, implement with Claude, as long as both providers are allowlisted:

  .crabd.yml

  providers:
    allowlist: [anthropic, openai]
  modes:
    review:
      model: openai/gpt-5.5

• To reach OpenAI through Azure or a proxy, use a custom provider or the egress gateway.
