ChatGPT Ask

Ask ChatGPT through the local Frevana daemon and Chrome Extension session.

Purpose

This skill is for asking ChatGPT a prompt using the Chrome Extension-backed Frevana MCP tool frevana_ask with fixed provider chatgpt.

Inputs:

prompt (required) - one or more questions or instructions to send to ChatGPT
prompt_file (optional) - UTF-8 text file with one prompt per non-empty line
format (optional) - text or json, defaults to text
timeout (optional) - Frevana tool timeout in milliseconds, default comes from the tool

Output:

Return the answer directly unless the user asks for raw output or a saved file.

user-provided prompt
bundled scripts/setup.sh wrapper, which downloads and runs the latest official Frevana setup script
Frevana local daemon running after setup, default port 12306
Chrome connected through the Frevana Chrome Extension
the user logged in to ChatGPT in Chrome
curl
bash
python3

This is a Chrome Extension skill. It uses the local daemon and Chrome Extension session.

Confirm the user provided one or more prompts, or a prompt file with one prompt per non-empty line.
Prefer the script over ad hoc frevana call commands.
Do not invent optional timeout values. Default output format to text unless the user asks for JSON.
Let the script run bundled scripts/setup.sh before every Frevana tool call.
If setup reports Chrome disconnected, stop and tell the user to open Chrome, connect the Frevana extension, and retry.
Run the ChatGPT ask only after setup succeeds.
If the call returns login/auth content or fails because ChatGPT is unavailable, tell the user they must be logged in to ChatGPT in Chrome.
Return text output by default. If format is json, return structured JSON with provider, count, and results.
Save output with --output when useful.

bash <skill-path>/scripts/ask_chatgpt.sh \
  --prompt "Explain quantum computing in simple terms"

bash <skill-path>/scripts/ask_chatgpt.sh \
  --prompt "Summarize this topic" \
  --timeout 120000 \
  --output ./out/chatgpt-answer.txt

bash <skill-path>/scripts/ask_chatgpt.sh \
  --prompt "Question 1" \
  --prompt "Question 2"

bash <skill-path>/scripts/ask_chatgpt.sh \
  --prompt-file ./prompts.txt \
  --format json \
  --output ./out/chatgpt-batch-answers.txt

The script calls:

frevana call frevana_ask '<json_args>'

The JSON arguments use this shape:

{
  "provider": "chatgpt",
  "prompt": "Explain quantum computing in simple terms",
  "timeout": 120000
}

Always send provider: "chatgpt". Do not pass unsupported fields.

Require at least one --prompt, --question, or --prompt-file.
--prompt and --question may be repeated.
--prompt-file reads one prompt per non-empty line.
--format must be text or json; default is text.
--timeout must be a positive integer when provided.
scripts/setup.sh downloads and executes the latest official setup script from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FinpeakInc/frevana-cli-releases/refs/heads/main/skills/frevana/scripts/setup.sh.
