OpenAI + xLink: Identity-Based Auth for AI Assistants

# Install OpenAI xLink integration
npm install @private.me/openai-xlink

yarn add @private.me/openai-xlink

import { OpenAI } from 'openai'
import { withXLink } from '@private.me/openai-xlink'

// Replace API key with identity
const client = await withXLink(new OpenAI())

// Use OpenAI normally - no API key needed
const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: 'gpt-4-turbo',
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Explain quantum computing' }]
})

console.log(response.choices[0].message.content)

import { OpenAI } from 'openai'
import { withXLink } from '@private.me/openai-xlink'

// Create authenticated client
const client = await withXLink(new OpenAI())

// Create assistant with identity-based auth
const assistant = await client.beta.assistants.create({
  name: 'Data Analyst',
  instructions: 'You are a data analysis assistant.',
  model: 'gpt-4-turbo',
  tools: [{ type: 'code_interpreter' }]
})

// Create thread and run
const thread = await client.beta.threads.create()
await client.beta.threads.messages.create(thread.id, {
  role: 'user',
  content: 'Analyze this sales data'
})

const run = await client.beta.threads.runs.create(thread.id, {
  assistant_id: assistant.id
})

// No API key rotation, no token cascades
console.log('Assistant running with identity:', run.id)

import { withXLink } from '@private.me/openai-xlink'

// Agent 1: Research Assistant
const researchClient = await withXLink(new OpenAI())
const researcher = await researchClient.beta.assistants.create({
  name: 'Research Agent',
  model: 'gpt-4-turbo'
})

// Agent 2: Writing Assistant
const writerClient = await withXLink(new OpenAI())
const writer = await writerClient.beta.assistants.create({
  name: 'Writer Agent',
  model: 'gpt-4-turbo'
})

// Each agent has independent identity
// No shared API keys, no cascading failures

// API key stored in .env
const client = new OpenAI({ apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY })

// Problems:
// - Key rotation every 90 days
// - Shared secret across all agents
// - Manual secrets management
// - Cascading failures on key refresh

// Identity-based authentication
const client = await withXLink(new OpenAI())

// Benefits:
// - No secrets to rotate
// - Per-agent cryptographic identity
// - Zero-config authentication
// - Impossible for cascades to occur
