[Issue]: AutoGen Studio skill does not work in a GroupChat

[joslat]

Describe the issue

Hi, I am having the following problem:
With the simple two agent chat to create a book with pictures, everything works. I put a chat with the user_proxy and another with the book_creator_assistant with the two skills and I get it all.

But, if I do it with an Agent_chat_manager and three agents,
Book_concept for writing the book concept
Book_concept_critic for critizicing constructively the book concept and "APPROVE"
Book_composer for creating the book, armed with the pdf and image skills.

The manager has clear instructions to derive first to the book_concept and pass it to the book_concept_critic until it "APPROVE" or a number of turns, and then handover to the Book_composer.

This happens but the book_composer cannot use the skill due that the OPEN_AI_KEY is invalid...??

But the skill worked on the previous flow? I checked it and it is ok. I reviewed the workflows and all looks good.

Any suggestion? is this a known bug? any help is welcome 🙂

Steps to reproduce

Seems like that an agent chat manager that contains an agent with a skill that has a connection will not run properly, but that agent run as a single agent with that skill runs properly.
