Agente de codificación con GPT-5.1 y Agents SDK
GPT-5.1 es excepcionalmente potente para codificar, y con las nuevas herramientas de edición de código y ejecución de comandos disponibles en la API de Responses, ahora es más fácil que nunca construir agentes de codificación que puedan trabajar en bases de código completas e iterar rápidamente.
En esta guía, usaremos el Agents SDK para construir un agente de codificación que pueda estructurar una aplicación completamente nueva a partir de un prompt y refinarla a través de la retroalimentación del usuario. Nuestro agente estará equipado con las siguientes herramientas:
- apply_patch — para editar archivos
- shell — para ejecutar comandos de shell
- web_search — para obtener información reciente de la web
- Context7 MCP — para acceder a documentación actualizada
Comenzaremos enfocándonos en las herramientas shell y web_search para generar un nuevo proyecto con contexto obtenido de la web. Luego agregaremos apply_patch para que el agente pueda iterar en la base de código, y lo conectaremos al servidor Context7 MCP para que pueda escribir código informado por la documentación más reciente.
Configura el agente
Con el Agents SDK, definir un agente es tan simple como proporcionar instrucciones y una lista de herramientas. En este ejemplo, queremos usar el modelo gpt-5.1 más nuevo por sus capacidades de codificación de vanguardia.
Comenzaremos habilitando web_search, que le da al agente la capacidad de buscar información actualizada en línea, y shell, que le permite al agente proponer comandos de shell para tareas como la estructuración, instalación de dependencias y ejecución de pasos de construcción.
La herramienta shell funciona permitiendo que el modelo proponga comandos que cree que deben ejecutarse. Tu entorno es responsable de ejecutar realmente esos comandos y devolver la salida.
El Agents SDK automatiza la mayor parte de este intercambio de ejecución de comandos por ti; solo necesitas implementar el ejecutor de shell, el entorno en el que se ejecutarán esos comandos.
%pip install openai-agents openai asyncio
import os
# Make sure your OpenAI API key is defined (you can set it on your global environment, or export it manually)
# export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
assert "OPENAI_API_KEY" in os.environ, "Please set OPENAI_API_KEY first."
Define un entorno de trabajo y un ejecutor de shell
Para simplificar, ejecutaremos comandos de shell localmente y los aislaremos en un directorio de espacio de trabajo dedicado. Esto asegura que el agente solo interactúe con archivos dentro de esa carpeta.
Nota: En producción, siempre ejecuta comandos de shell en un entorno aislado. La ejecución arbitraria de comandos es inherentemente riesgosa y debe controlarse estrictamente.
# Create an isolated workspace for shell commands
from pathlib import Path
workspace_dir = Path("coding-agent-workspace").resolve()
workspace_dir.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
print(f"Workspace directory: {workspace_dir}")
Workspace directory: /Users/katia/dev/openai-cookbook/examples/coding-agent-workspace
Ahora definiremos una pequeña clase ShellExecutor que:
- Recibe un
ShellCommandRequestdel agente - Opcionalmente, pide aprobación antes de ejecutar comandos
- Los ejecuta usando
asyncio.create_subprocess_shell - Devuelve un
ShellResultcon las salidas
Todos los comandos se ejecutarán con cwd=workspace_dir, por lo que solo afectarán los archivos en esa subcarpeta.

Enviemos un prompt a nuestro agente de codificación y luego inspeccionemos los archivos que creó en el workspace_dir.
En este ejemplo, crearemos un panel de control NextJS usando la biblioteca shadcn.
Nota: a veces puedes encontrarte con un error MaxTurnsExceeded, o el proyecto podría tener un error de dependencia. Simplemente ejecuta el bucle del agente de nuevo.

[assistant]
I’ve created the Next.js app and wired it so that `dashboard-01` is rendered on the **home page (`/`)**.
Here’s what was done and how to run it locally:
1. **App creation & setup**
```bash
npx create-next-app@latest shadcn-dashboard --typescript --eslint --tailwind --app --src-dir --import-alias "@/*"
cd shadcn-dashboard
# shadcn/ui & dependencies
npm install shadcn-ui class-variance-authority clsx tailwind-merge lucide-react
# Initialize shadcn/ui
npx shadcn@latest init
# Add components required by dashboard-01
npx shadcn@latest add button card dropdown-menu input label progress select separator sheet sidebar skeleton tabs avatar
npx shadcn@latest add dashboard-01
```
2. **Home page now renders dashboard-01**
I replaced `src/app/page.tsx` with a version that reuses the generated `dashboard-01` layout and data, so `/` shows that dashboard:
`src/app/page.tsx`:
```tsx
import { AppSidebar } from "@/components/app-sidebar"
import { ChartAreaInteractive } from "@/components/chart-area-interactive"
import { DataTable } from "@/components/data-table"
import { SectionCards } from "@/components/section-cards"
import { SiteHeader } from "@/components/site-header"
import {
SidebarInset,
SidebarProvider,
} from "@/components/ui/sidebar"
import data from "./dashboard/data.json"
import React from "react"
export default function Home() {
return (
<SidebarProvider
style={
{
"--sidebar-width": "calc(var(--spacing) * 72)",
"--header-height": "calc(var(--spacing) * 12)",
} as React.CSSProperties
}
>
<AppSidebar variant="inset" />
<SidebarInset>
<SiteHeader />
<div className="flex flex-1 flex-col">
<div className="@container/main flex flex-1 flex-col gap-2">
<div className="flex flex-col gap-4 py-4 md:gap-6 md:py-6">
<SectionCards />
<div className="px-4 lg:px-6">
<ChartAreaInteractive />
</div>
<DataTable data={data} />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</SidebarInset>
</SidebarProvider>
)
}
```
This uses:
- `src/app/dashboard/data.json` (created by `npx shadcn add dashboard-01`)
- All the supporting components (`AppSidebar`, `SiteHeader`, `SectionCards`, charts, table, etc.) that the block installer added.
3. **Run the app**
From the `shadcn-dashboard` folder:
```bash
npm run dev
```
Then open `http://localhost:3000` — you should see the **dashboard-01** block as the home page.
If you’d like, I can also remove the `/dashboard` route or keep it as a separate page; right now, the main dashboard layout is mirrored on `/`.

Itera en el proyecto
Ahora que tenemos una versión inicial de la aplicación, podemos comenzar a iterar usando la herramienta apply_patch. También queremos incluir llamadas a la API de OpenAI Responses, y para eso, el modelo debe tener acceso a la documentación más actualizada. Para hacer esto posible, conectaremos el agente al servidor Context7 MCP, que proporciona documentación actualizada.
Configura la herramienta apply_patch para ediciones in situ
Nota: en producción, normalmente querrás ejecutar estas ediciones en un espacio de trabajo de proyecto aislado (por ejemplo, contenedores efímeros) y trabajar con IDEs.

Actualiza el agente
Creemos un nuevo agente que también use estas dos herramientas adicionales y actualicemos las instrucciones en consecuencia. Para evitar una falta de coincidencia de contexto al aplicar los diffs, para este agente especificaremos que no edite archivos a través de un comando.
UPDATED_INSTRUCTIONS = """
You are a coding assistant helping a user with an existing project.
Use the apply_patch tool to edit files based on their feedback.
When editing files:
- Never edit code via shell commands.
- Always read the file first using `cat` with the shell tool.
- Then generate a unified diff relative to EXACTLY that content.
- Use apply_patch only once per edit attempt.
- If apply_patch fails, stop and report the error; do NOT retry.
You can search the web to find which command you should use based on the technical stack, and use commands to install dependencies if needed.
When the user refers to an external API, use the Context7 MCP server to fetch docs for that API.
For example, if they want to use the OpenAI API, search docs for the openai-python or openai-node sdk depending on the project stack.

[assistant]
I’ve wired up a “Summarize” button and hooked it to the OpenAI Responses API with `gpt-5.1`, returning the result in a modal.
Here’s what changed and how to use it.
---
## 1. New dialog UI primitive
Added a Radix-based dialog component so we can show the summary in a modal.
**File:** `src/components/ui/dialog.tsx`
(standard shadcn-style Dialog wrapper)
You now have:
```ts
export {
Dialog,
DialogPortal,
DialogOverlay,
DialogClose,
DialogTrigger,
DialogContent,
DialogHeader,
DialogFooter,
DialogTitle,
DialogDescription,
}
```
You don’t need to change anything here unless you want to tweak styling/animations.
---
## 2. Header updated with “Summarize” button + modal
**File:** `src/components/site-header.tsx`
Key updates:
```tsx
import { useState } from "react"
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import {
Dialog,
DialogContent,
DialogHeader,
DialogTitle,
} from "@/components/ui/dialog"
import { Separator } from "@/components/ui/separator"
import { SidebarTrigger } from "@/components/ui/sidebar"
export function SiteHeader() {
const [open, setOpen] = useState(false)
const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false)
const [summary, setSummary] = useState<string | null>(null)
const [error, setError] = useState<string | null>(null)
async function handleSummarize() {
try {
setLoading(true)
setError(null)
const res = await fetch("/api/summarize", {
method: "POST",
})
if (!res.ok) {
throw new Error("Failed to generate summary")
}
const data = (await res.json()) as { summary: string }
setSummary(data.summary)
} catch (err) {
console.error(err)
setError(
err instanceof Error
? err.message
: "Something went wrong generating the summary.",
)
} finally {
setLoading(false)
}
}
return (
<>
<header className="flex h-(--header-height) shrink-0 items-center gap-2 border-b transition-[width,height] ease-linear group-has-data-[collapsible=icon]/sidebar-wrapper:h-(--header-height)">
<div className="flex w-full items-center gap-1 px-4 lg:gap-2 lg:px-6">
<SidebarTrigger className="-ml-1" />
<Separator
orientation="vertical"
className="mx-2 data-[orientation=vertical]:h-4"
/>
<h1 className="text-base font-medium">Dashboard</h1>
<div className="ml-auto flex items-center gap-2">
<Button
variant="outline"
size="sm"
onClick={() => {
setOpen(true)
void handleSummarize()
}}
>
{loading ? "Summarizing..." : "Summarize"}
</Button>
</div>
</div>
</header>
<Dialog open={open} onOpenChange={setOpen}>
<DialogContent>
<DialogHeader>
<DialogTitle>Dashboard summary</DialogTitle>
</DialogHeader>
<div className="mt-2 text-sm text-muted-foreground whitespace-pre-wrap">
{loading && <p>Analyzing metrics…</p>}
{!loading && error && (
<p className="text-destructive">{error}</p>
)}
{!loading && !error && summary && <p>{summary}</p>}
{!loading && !error && !summary && (
<p>No summary available yet.</p>
)}
</div>
</DialogContent>
</Dialog>
</>
)
}
```
Behavior:
- The **Summarize** button is in the top-right of the header.
- Clicking it:
- Opens the modal.
- Immediately calls `/api/summarize`.
- The modal shows:
- “Analyzing metrics…” while loading.
- The summary when complete.
- An error message if the API call fails.
---
## 3. API route using OpenAI Responses API with `gpt-5.1`
**File:** `src/app/api/summarize/route.ts`
```ts
import { NextResponse } from "next/server"
import OpenAI from "openai"
const client = new OpenAI({
apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY,
})
export async function POST() {
try {
const response = await client.responses.create({
model: "gpt-5.1",
instructions:
"You are a concise analytics assistant. Summarize the key insights from a metrics dashboard that includes KPI cards, a time-series chart, and a data table. Focus on trends, anomalies, and overall performance in 3-5 short bullet points. Do not fabricate exact numbers.",
input:
"Summarize the current metrics view for a business stakeholder at a high level.",
})
const summary = (response as any).output_text ?? "No summary generated."
return NextResponse.json({ summary })
} catch (error) {
console.error("Error generating summary:", error)
return NextResponse.json(
{ error: "Failed to generate summary" },
{ status: 500 },
)
}
}
```
Notes:
- Uses the **OpenAI Responses API**.
- Model is explicitly set to `"gpt-5.1"` as requested.
- Returns JSON `{ summary: string }` to the client.
- Reads API key from `process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY`.
---
## 4. Environment setup
Ensure you have your OpenAI key set:
- Create a `.env.local` in `shadcn-dashboard` (if you don’t already):
```bash
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
```
Next.js will expose this to the server runtime only (safe for this API route).
---
## 5. How to run
From `shadcn-dashboard`:
```bash
npm run dev
```
Navigate to `/dashboard`:
- You’ll see the **Summarize** button in the header.
- Click it to open the modal and generate a metrics summary.
---
If you’d like the summary to reflect actual numbers from your dashboard (e.g., pull from `data.json`, cards, or charts), I can next wire the API route to read that data and send it as structured input to the Responses API instead of the generic instructions.

[apply_patch] One or more apply_patch calls were executed.
Una vez que el agente haya terminado de actualizar el proyecto (deberías ver un registro "=== Run complete ===" seguido de la respuesta final), verás la interfaz de usuario actualizada, con la llamada a la API de OpenAI Responses para resumir lo que hay en el panel de control.
Nota: Si este paso falla, puedes volver a ejecutar el bucle del agente. En un entorno de producción, implementarías un bucle externo que maneje errores o espere la entrada del usuario e itere.

Conclusión
En esta guía de recetas, construimos un agente de codificación que puede estructurar un proyecto, refinarlo a través de parches, ejecutar comandos y mantenerse actualizado con documentación externa. Al combinar GPT 5.1 con el Agents SDK y herramientas como shell, apply_patch, web_search y el Context7 MCP, puedes crear agentes que no solo generan código, sino que trabajan activamente con bases de código: ejecutando comandos, aplicando ediciones, obteniendo contexto nuevo y evolucionando un proyecto de principio a fin.
Este flujo de trabajo es un potente modelo para construir agentes que se sienten menos como herramientas y más como colaboradores. Puedes extender este patrón para integrar agentes en IDEs o entornos de pruebas de código, generar nuevas aplicaciones desde cero, trabajar en grandes bases de código o incluso colaborar con desarrolladores en tiempo real.
