AI as a sparring partner?

[fraenkiman]

Hello everyone,

I have created a GPT for you on the OpenAI platform. This GPT knows the basic instructions I have given it.

When debugging or further developing plugins, themes, or styles, I recommend uploading a fully installed repository in a ZIP archive. Otherwise, the FlatPress repository from GitHub will be used, which can lead to unpredictable side effects.

The results are not as nice and comprehensive as with Qwen 3 Coder, but they are usable.

As always, this AI was created by humans, and humans make mistakes. Check the results and test them thoroughly in a test environment.

If the results are as expected, let the entire community know.

Best regards,
Frank

I don't use AI!

AI, okay, which AI? The one IBM developed 25 years ago, or the stuff currently buzzing around the internet?

Technically speaking, AI is currently only capable of assessing a problem based on probabilities. Note: probabilities
That’s why some of the answers it provides may be correct—or they may be wrong.

Regardless, there’s a lot you can do with it right now.

Hi everyone,

Sometimes it’s worth getting a second opinion or asking someone for help. However, a community member or developer isn’t always available.

That’s why I’ve upgraded the GPT in OpenAI’s LLM. This GPT now not only knows the basic work instructions but also has a knowledge base.

The combination of operating instructions and a knowledge base enables the GPT to apply in-depth knowledge without requiring you to enter lengthy prompt chains beforehand.

Hello Frank, what did you do exactly ? Did you add documentation and code samples to this chat ? So he already knows what we're talking about ?
I'm interested because I know have ChatGPT Plus but I never used a pre-made chat.

Hello macadoum,

The GPT knows exactly what it's supposed to do. This saves a lot of time spent typing prompts. It draws its instructions and knowledge from the files listed below. In addition, the GPT supplements its knowledge with specified online sources.

The files currently only support the creation of English- and German-language GPTs. It may be possible to have the content of the files translated into the respective local language.
Download this archive and extract it locally.

To create an English-language "FlatPress" GPT, click "More" on the left -> "GPTs" -> “Create GPT.”
In the GPT configuration, you can now upload “Knowledge” as a file.

Upload the previously extracted files there as knowledge:

Code: Select all

README.en.md
SCHEMA.en.md
STATUS_MODEL.en.md
chronology.en.md
knowledge_entries.en.jsonl
topics.en.md
gpt_FlatPress_en-US.txt #contains the instructions
filesystem-lifecycle.json #From the indexes directory
installation-snapshot-3399-to-3400.json #From the inventories directory
installation-lifecycle-artifacts.json  #From the inventories directory
repository-comparison-1.4.1-to-master.json  #From the inventories directory

You don’t need the other files and directories unless you want to teach a local AI “FlatPress knowledge” and instructions.

Select the highest possible model, e.g., 5.6 Sol Thinking.

Now save the GPT you’ve created. You can always find the saved GPT under "More" -> "GPTs" -> "My GPTs".

To check whether the GPT is configured correctly, ask this question or one phrased similarly:
What do you know, and what are your instructions?

or:

What can you do?

To create a “FlatPress” project, upload the following files from this archive as source files:

Code: Select all

UPLOAD_TO_PROJECT/01_FlatPress_Wissenseintraege_DE.jsonl
UPLOAD_TO_PROJECT/02_FlatPress_Knowledge_Entries_EN.jsonl
UPLOAD_TO_PROJECT/03_FlatPress_Project_Guide_DE.md
UPLOAD_TO_PROJECT/04_FlatPress_Project_Guide_EN.md
UPLOAD_TO_PROJECT/05_FlatPress_Repository_Comparison_1.4.1-master.json
UPLOAD_TO_PROJECT/06_FlatPress_Installation_Model_and_Snapshots.json

If you want the GPT you created to make changes to your personal repository, upload it as a ZIP file in the chat’s context window. The repository should be as minimal as possible.

Best regards,
Frank

Thanks for your explanations.

So, if I understand what you said the difference between creating my own GPT with your files and the chat link you gave is that in my own GPT I can also connect my github and add my own modification ?

[fraenkiman]

If you've connected ChatGPT to your GitHub account (GitHub Connector), ChatGPT can read from your repo but cannot modify it. However, ChatGPT is able to create pull requests, so you just need to review and merge the modified code. The Codex extension in the desktop version can make changes to a local repository. However, in that case, I recommend setting up the development environment in a virtual machine.

Instructions:
Create a new branch with the patch and create a PR.

If extensive changes are pending, I check ChatGPT’s status first. Internal tool glitches may sometimes produce strange results that are unusable.

I prefer to receive AI-generated changes as a diff and the modified files as a package. This way, I can review the patch in a local development environment and correct it if necessary. If I’m short on time or dealing with complex changes, I’ll submit the patch to another AI (Qwen3 Coder) for review. If the change works for me, I’ll copy the patch to the GitHub directory, review the change once more, and manually create the PR/merge. This way, the master branch of the repository always remains under your control and stays fully functional.

Best regards,
Frank
