Consult ChatGPT Pro via ChatGPT browser automation for problems that resist standard approaches. Use when stuck on a very hard problem, when standard approaches have failed, when multiple debugging attempts haven't worked, or when the user says "ask the oracle", "consult oracle", "consult chatgpt", "I'm completely stuck", "I've tried everything", or "nothing is working".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Consult Oracle

Consult ChatGPT Pro via ChatGPT browser automation for problems that resist standard approaches.

## Configuration

The oracle reads from `~/.turbo/config.json`:

```json
{
  "oracle": {
    "chatgptUrl": "https://chatgpt.com/"
  }
}
```

| Key | Purpose | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `chatgptUrl` | ChatGPT URL (e.g., a custom GPT project URL) | `https://chatgpt.com/` |

## Step 1: Identify Key Files

Find the 2-5 files most relevant to the problem.

## Step 2: Formulate the Question

Write a clear, specific problem description. Include what has already been tried and why it failed. Open with a short project briefing (stack, services, build steps). The more context, the better the response.

## Step 3: Run the Oracle

Run via the Bash tool (`timeout: 600000`, do not set `run_in_background`). The script loads `chatgptUrl` from `~/.turbo/config.json` automatically and consults through the oracle's own signed-in ChatGPT profile. Generate a random tag and persist the response:

```bash
ORACLE_TAG=$(head -c 4 /dev/urandom | xxd -p) && mkdir -p "$PWD/.turbo/oracle" && echo "$PWD/.turbo/oracle/$ORACLE_TAG.txt"
```
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tobihagemann/turbo/consult-oracle@sha256:e79fb72e84f8207c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.3ec6fdf, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
