OpenAI · OpenAI API · reusable prompt objects
AI-Buzz documentation reading: 2026-09-09

## Affected dependencies
- /v1/prompts
- Reusable prompt objects

Scheduled shutdown: 2026-11-30
Announcement date: 2026-06-03

## Vendor documentation
OpenAI announced the deprecation of reusable prompt objects on June 3, 2026, with shutdown scheduled for November 30. Its migration guide moves prompt content into code and uses Responses input instead of prompt references.

## Suggested checks
- [ ] Inventory prompt references and preserve the prompt content and variables each integration needs.
- [ ] Follow the migration guide: build messages in code, pass them through Responses input, and version changes in your repository.
- [ ] Compare representative requests before and after migration. Preserve static-prefix ordering where prompt caching matters.

## Limits
These steps summarize the vendor migration path; AI-Buzz has not executed it. This brief does not cover Agent Builder or the Evals API, which have separate migration work.

This is a dated documentation reading, not a live availability check. Recheck the sources before acting.
