What it does

This skill sets up a loop where ChatGPT (the web version) handles high-level thinking such as planning, reviewing, and debugging strategy, while Codex keeps doing the hands-on work like editing files, running commands, git, and tests. It connects ChatGPT to the current project through a bridge tool so ChatGPT can read the workspace itself, rather than having code pasted into chat. It also walks the user through connecting ChatGPT, including a pairing code step and an optional guided manual setup.

Great for

  • Developers who already use Codex and have a ChatGPT account and want a second model reviewing plans
  • People who want ChatGPT to read their project directly instead of copy-pasting code into the chat window

Skip it if

  • Users who do not have a ChatGPT account or do not want their workspace exposed to ChatGPT, since setup creates a public connection to the local project
  • Users who want the agent to run ChatGPT in their own everyday browser, which the skill refuses by default because it drives the page heavily and can interfere with normal browsing

Try asking

  • “Set up Codex with ChatGPT for this repo”
  • “Use the ChatGPT planning loop to plan a refactor of the auth module”
  • “Ask ChatGPT to review the changes Codex just made before I commit”
  • “Disconnect ChatGPT from this workspace”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • When the skill asks you to choose a setup mode (1 for automatic, 2 for guided manual), answer deliberately, since the choice is saved for the machine.
  • Expect a one-time Cloudflare login and a pairing code; the skill says it will only ask you for logins, CAPTCHAs, 2FA or explicit consent.
  • Keep the ChatGPT tab in the built-in browser; the skill will not use Chrome or Safari unless you explicitly accept the impact.
