For ChatGPT Web
CogentSpec +ChatGPT Web.
Keep the approved project, baseline, obligations, and release gates visible in CogentSpec while ChatGPT works beside them in the browser.
On Windows or macOS, ChatGPT Desktop is the simpler route. Continue with Web when Desktop is unavailable or you prefer the browser.
Side-by-side workflow
The contract stays in view.
CogentSpec remains the authoritative project workspace. ChatGPT remains the place where you discuss and execute the work.
Create a project
What are you building?
Choose the closest project type and edit its baseline.
I’ll work from the approved CogentSpec project and keep its contract as the source of truth.
Five guided steps
Connect before you build.
CogentSpec governs what is being built. ChatGPT helps you build it through the connected app.
- 1Connect CogentSpec
Add CogentSpecWeb to ChatGPT using the guided private app setup.
- 2Open the ChatGPT sidebar
Check that ChatGPT can open from your browser toolbar, or choose to use ChatGPT in a separate tab.
- 3Install the Local Workspace Bridge
Connect CogentSpecWeb securely to Codex and the project folders you approve on this computer.
- 4Open CogentSpec workspace
Select the project type, edit its baseline, and approve the contract.
- 5Use @cogentspec
Engage the approved project in ChatGPT and return to the workspace whenever you need to review its contract or changes.
CogentSpec does not supply the ChatGPT plan. OpenAI controls developer-mode access, and workspace administrators may restrict it.
