Included Skills10

capture-via-apiskills/capture-via-api/SKILL.md

Capture a ChatGPT conversation as raw JSON by calling the authenticated backend API from inside the browser tab. Use when importing from a chatgpt.com/c/ URL or a /share/ link. This is the primary, complete capture route.

capture-via-domskills/capture-via-dom/SKILL.md

Fallback capture of a ChatGPT conversation by scraping the rendered DOM with scrolling. Use only when capture-via-api fails. Lossy - no timestamps, branches, tool messages or artifact payloads.

conversation-to-contextskills/conversation-to-context/SKILL.md

Import a ChatGPT conversation into the current repository as agent context. Use when the user wants to bring a ChatGPT thread into a project, pull a chat into context, or save a conversation for Claude to read later. Writes a Markdown transcript to context/ with the human labelled User.

extract-artifactsskills/extract-artifacts/SKILL.md

Pull generated documents, canvas docs, code blocks, images and attachments out of an imported ChatGPT conversation and save them as real files. Use when a conversation produced a document, code, or images worth keeping separately.

extract-sourcesskills/extract-sources/SKILL.md

Collect the sources a ChatGPT conversation cited into a de-duplicated list, as a sources section, footnotes, or a standalone bibliography. Use when the user wants the references, links or citations from a chat.

import-chatgpt-conversationskills/import-chatgpt-conversation/SKILL.md

Import a ChatGPT conversation into local files. Use when the user gives a chatgpt.com URL or shared link, asks to save/export/archive a ChatGPT chat, wants a transcript with user and assistant turns marked, or wants a ChatGPT thread as Markdown, JSON or PDF. Routes to the right capture and render path.

import-export-archiveskills/import-export-archive/SKILL.md

Import conversations from an official ChatGPT data export zip or conversations.json. Use for bulk import, for old or deleted conversations, or when the browser route is unavailable. Also the only route that carries generated images as real files.

redact-conversationskills/redact-conversation/SKILL.md

Redact identifying detail from an imported ChatGPT conversation before sharing or committing it. Runs a deterministic pattern pass over the user's prompts, then a judgement pass for names, places and employers. Use when a transcript needs sanitizing.

render-markdownskills/render-markdown/SKILL.md

Render a normalized ChatGPT conversation to Markdown with user and assistant turns marked, YAML front matter, a stats block and a sources section. Use after capturing and normalizing a conversation.

render-typst-pdfskills/render-typst-pdf/SKILL.md

Render a ChatGPT conversation as a styled PDF using a Typst template, with colour-coded user and assistant turns, a metadata cover block, artifact callouts and a sources page. Use when the user wants a PDF, a document to read or share, or to be identified by their own name.
