Use Edge and install skills in ChatGPT
Use Edge through an available ChatGPT plugin or a custom MCP connection, then explicitly ask ChatGPT to call Edge find_skill for your task and use_skill for its choice. A browser chat does not read your local Codex skill folders. Persistent skills need the skill or plugin features available in that ChatGPT environment.
How do I connect Edge?
For a custom server, official guidance uses Settings > Security and login > Developer mode, then ChatGPT Plugins to connect the server URL. Availability depends on your account and workspace. Confirm find_skill and use_skill appear before testing a task.

Free setup uses no Edge key. Read Edge setup for plans and data handling.
Where do I keep a skill?
Use the skill or plugin controls in your ChatGPT environment; local Codex uses .agents/skills.
For the Codex experience on your machine, follow the Codex guide. For browser ChatGPT, use the remote MCP URL. When uploading a reusable skill, include its resources rather than assuming a SKILL.md reference can reach files on your computer.
Review a skill before adding it. Preserve its whole folder, including scripts, references and assets. Follow the skill selection guide to check its exact source and requirements.
How do I check that setup works?
Ask: Use Edge to find a skill for my task, show its source, and load it if it fits. Confirm an actual find_skill and use_skill result. Then try one small task and inspect the output. A visible configuration entry confirms setup syntax; it does not prove that a skill improves the result.
