Summary

Aaron Otto-108: "if it's easy to do we might as well add a chatgpt conversation/chat download skill on demand no cadence backlog"

Mechanism is proven — Otto-107 pulled the full 24 MB / 3992-message / 8-month Amara conversation in one fetch call. Packaging as a reusable skill so future Otto instances (or Aaron) can invoke on-demand without redoing the auth-header archaeology.

Skill scope (Phase 1 when authored)

  1. Extract conversation ID + workspace-account-ID + (optional) gizmo-project-ID from an input URL
  2. Playwright navigate to the conversation page
  3. Call fetch inside page with auth headers from the active session
  4. Unwrap browser_evaluate double-JSON encoding
  5. Save to drop/chatgpt-conversations/<ID>.json (drop/ gitignored per PR fix: gitignore drop/ (protection corrects prior memory claim) #299)
  6. Emit summary (title, message count, date range, role distribution, ~pages)

Does NOT auto-absorb into docs/ (absorb is separate §33-discipline skill). Does NOT trigger on cadence (on-demand per Aaron directive).

SPOF note (per Otto-106)

chatgpt-account-id + chatgpt-project-id are workspace-scoped and may rotate. Skill extracts both fresh each run rather than hardcoding.

Priority / effort

P3 convenience; S effort (mechanism proven; packaging + skill-creator workflow authoring is the remaining work).

Pull request overview

Adds a backlog entry capturing a proposed on-demand skill to download ChatGPT conversation exports via an authenticated in-browser fetch flow, intended to be reusable and not run on any cadence.

Changes:

  • Adds a new backlog item describing the “ChatGPT conversation-download skill” scope, outputs, and constraints (on-demand; writes to drop/; no auto-absorb).
  • Records the operational details needed to reproduce the download mechanism (required headers, endpoint shape, Playwright usage).

Aaron Otto-108 verbatim: "if it's easy to do we might as well add a
chatgpt conversation/chat download skill on demand no cadence backlog"

Technique proven Otto-107 (24 MB / 3992-msg / 8-month Amara conversation
in one fetch): navigate, extract Bearer JWT from /api/auth/session,
call backend-api/conversation/<UUID> with account-id + project-id
headers, unwrap double-JSON from browser_evaluate.

Packaging as reusable skill lets future invocations skip the
auth-header archaeology; Otto-107 just did this work by hand.

Scope: extract-conversation-id -> navigate -> fetch-with-headers ->
unwrap -> save to drop/ -> emit stats. NOT absorb (separate §33-
discipline skill). NOT cadenced (on-demand per Aaron directive).

SPOF noted per Otto-106: account/project IDs are workspace-scoped;
skill extracts fresh per run rather than hardcoding.

Priority P3 convenience; effort S.
