    How to use

    1. Have your workspace admin enable the ChatGPT app in Slack using the Slack setup guide.
    2. For repository work, confirm that Cloud delegation is enabled and an eligible workspace-shared environment has a published version. For an Enterprise workspace, follow the environment sharing guidance.
    3. Copy the starter prompt into an enabled Slack channel or thread. Include the repository, relevant context, constraints, and the result you want.
    4. Complete any connection or approval prompts, then review the result and reported checks. When available, use Follow along to inspect the coding task.
    5. Mention @ChatGPT in the same thread for related work. Follow-ups that use the same account to run the task can continue it; another execution account may start a separate task. Start a new conversation to use a different Cloud environment.

    Tips

    • Summarize the issue and expected behavior if the thread doesn’t already provide enough context.
    • Name the repository or intended workspace-shared environment. Personal Cloud environments aren’t included in this Slack flow.
    • Check that the account running the task has the required environment, repository, and service access. A Slack reply doesn’t give everyone access to the coding task.
    • Keep the request scoped and name relevant files or folders in a large codebase.
    • Before merging, review proposed changes and check that the reported tests cover the requested behavior.
