README

quiet-oracle

Consult GPT-5.x Pro from a coding agent's terminal, through your signed-in ChatGPT Pro browser session — in a background Chrome that never takes focus.

This is a [Claude Code](https://code.claude.com/docs) skill plus four small scripts (a launcher and three CDP helpers) around Peter Steinberger's [`@steipete/oracle`](https://github.com/steipete/oracle) CLI. The CLI does the heavy lifting. This repo contributes the launch recipe that makes it safe and invisible on a machine you are actively using, and the operating doctrine we learned by running it daily.

Why

Coding agents get better when a genuinely different frontier model reviews their hardest calls. ChatGPT Pro gives flat-rate access to Pro-tier reasoning, but only through the web UI. The naive automation paths all hurt:

A default browser launch opens a visible Chrome that steals focus while you type.
Pro answers can take 10–90 minutes. A blocking foreground tool wastes the whole window.
Cookie copying done wrong gets you logged out of every Google account on your machine (details below).

`oracle-bg.sh` fixes all three. Your agent fires a consultation, keeps working, and collects the answer when it lands. You never see a raised window — worst case, a 40 px corner sliver anything covers.

How it works

One-time setup: oracle-bg.sh --setup-master launches a dedicated background Chrome on a persistent automation-owned profile (~/.local/state/oracle-bg/chrome-master). You sign into ChatGPT there once and quit it. Your real Chrome is never read (the old cookie-copy-from-real-Chrome path still exists but is an explicit, warned opt-in — see the token-rotation footgun).
Each run attaches directly to the master profile in place (one run at a time via a lock; a concurrent run falls back to a per-run copy seeded from the master). Running in place keeps ChatGPT's session-token rotation coherent — the jar that owns the token receives the rotation
