 "summary": "Open ChatGPT in the browser with terminal access to the current project or a folder you name.",
 "who": "A developer who wants to talk through a codebase directly with ChatGPT, with it able to run commands in that project.",
 "problem": "Explaining a project to ChatGPT by hand and copying output back and forth is slow.",
 "outcome": "A ChatGPT session opens with terminal access to the chosen project folder.",
 "steps": [
  "Install the skill by pasting the install prompt from the README into Codex, then let Codex follow references/setup.md.",
  "In Codex, tell it: `webgpt open` to open ChatGPT for the current project.",
  "To use another project, tell Codex: `webgpt open /path/to/project` with your project path.",
  "Confirm the project is the one you intended before asking ChatGPT to run anything."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the WebGPT repo (Nhahan/WebGPT), run `webgpt open /path/to/project` with the project path <project path>. Expect ChatGPT to open with terminal access to that folder. Verify the session is pointed at the correct project before giving it any task.",
