Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

When Claude uses it
Use the user's already signed-in official ChatGPT website account, especially GPT-5.5 Pro / ChatGPT Pro, to perform product research, market research, competitor research, second-opinion analysis, or any request that says ChatGPT , ChatGPT , GPT-5.5 Pro, 5.5 Pro, or avoid API cost. Prefer the Chrome plugin/extension route; if it is unavailable or cannot attach, fall back to Computer Use on the real visible Chrome window/profile. This skill must control the real ChatGPT web page in the intended Chrome account/profile; it must not open a different free-account window, use OpenAI API, use web search alone, use generic Playwright, or use the deprecated chatgpt-web MCP.
What this skill does
This skill leverages your already signed-in ChatGPT Pro account in Chrome to perform research tasks through the official ChatGPT website. It prioritizes the Chrome plugin route for direct page control but falls back to Computer Use on visible Chrome windows when the plugin is unavailable. The skill ensures you stay in your intended paid account—never opening a separate free-account window or relying on OpenAI API—and waits for responses to complete before extracting and saving results as Markdown.
What it does
- Routes requests through your existing signed-in ChatGPT Pro / GPT-5.5 Pro account in Chrome, avoiding API costs and free-tier limitations.
- Prefers Chrome plugin control via
chrome:control-chrometo interact with the ChatGPT web page; falls back to Computer Use on visible Chrome windows when the plugin is unavailable. - Locates and claims real ChatGPT tabs from your already logged-in account by inspecting profile names and open-tab metadata, refusing to open new free-account windows.
- Confirms Pro/GPT-5.5 status by checking visible page labels and stops before proceeding if only a free account is available.
- Polls ChatGPT until generation completes and the response contains a unique completion marker.
- Extracts answers via the ChatGPT copy button or DOM/accessibility-tree extraction, then verifies clipboard or extracted text matches the visible response.
- Saves raw and readable Markdown reports to
<WORKSPACE>/reports/with conversation URL, extraction method, and verification details.
How to use it
Mention ChatGPT, GPT-5.5 Pro, or that you want to avoid API costs in your request. The skill will inspect your Chrome extension instances for your signed-in account, claim a real ChatGPT tab, build a self-contained prompt (including current date and a unique completion marker), submit it, wait for the response to finish, and extract the result into a saved Markdown file. If the Chrome plugin route fails, it falls back to Computer Use control of your visible Chrome window. If Pro status cannot be confirmed when you explicitly request it, or if only a free account is available, the skill stops and asks you to open or switch to your Pro account in Chrome.
