What is OpenAI Agents JavaScript SDK Pack?
- OpenAI Agents JS is a JavaScript/TypeScript SDK for building agent workflows with tools, handoffs, guardrails, and tracing.
- Best fit: Developers designing JavaScript or TypeScript agent workflows with explicit tools, guardrails, traces, and review boundaries.
- Not for: Not for workflows that lack explicit tool, trace, guardrail, or permission boundaries.
- Capability added to an AI workflow: Agent workflow setup, tool contract checks, guardrail review, tracing verification, and acceptance criteria
- First safe verification step: Build one minimal TypeScript agent with a harmless tool, visible trace, and bounded permissions.
- Verification state: source, Quick Start, and sandbox install checks are recorded as passed.
- Top risk: The main risk is treating an agent SDK example as production-ready without tool, guardrail, trace, and approval boundaries.
- Evidence base: https://github.com/openai/openai-agents-js, https://github.com/openai/openai-agents-js#readme, Human Manual, Pitfall Log

After deciding to continue, take the project context into your own AI host.Complete pack plus user-owned assets
These files are planning and verification assets for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, ChatGPT, and other AI hosts.

Preflight checks
Treat this page as a planning asset, not proof that your local environment is ready.- The manual is generated from source-linked project files and Doramagic validation signals.
- Community evidence warnings stay visible instead of being converted into marketing claims.
- This preview remains noindex and excluded from sitemap/llms citation targets until English quality and index gates pass.
- Use the upstream repository as the final authority for installation commands, license, and version-specific behavior.
