docs: require a GitHub connector for the chat-based assistant prompt#64
Merged
Conversation
The browser-chat bootstrap prompt pointed at the repo URL and fell back to "paste llms.txt/AGENTS.md if you can't browse GitHub". Recent ChatGPT builds treat a bare GitHub URL as needing the GitHub connector and skip the generic web fetch entirely, so the no-connector path became unreliable and, worse, could answer from stale training-data memory while appearing to use the repo. Make the connector the required, stated-up-front path and add a "tell me whether you can actually read the repo — don't answer from memory" handshake so a connector that didn't load surfaces instead of producing silent stale answers. Applied to both the README chat prompt and llms.txt. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
