+# GitHub Connector Usage
+
+The GitHub connector is connected, but ChatGPT does not browse it automatically.
+You must ask explicitly.
+
+## Good prompts
+- Show me files in repo <repo-name>
+- Open file <path> in repo <repo-name>
+- Read README.md from repo <repo-name>
+- Review issue <number> in repo <repo-name>
+- Review PR <number> in repo <repo-name>
+
+## Best practice
+Keep GitHub usage narrow and file-specific.
+For implementation, continue using local repo + Codex.
+For planning, use ChatGPT Project + PROJECT_INSTRUCTIONS.md.

+# V4 Automation
+
+## Goal
+Minimize startup effort while keeping repo work surgical and low-token.
+
+## Stack
+- ChatGPT Project = remembers workflow
+- docs/dev/PROJECT_INSTRUCTIONS.md = ChatGPT operating instructions
+- AGENTS.md = Codex auto-loaded repo rules
+- .codex/skills/repo-build/SKILL.md = Codex BUILD workflow
+- GitHub connector = optional file lookup when explicitly requested
+
+## Daily Startup
+In a NEW chat inside the Project, send only:
+
+Use docs/dev/PROJECT_INSTRUCTIONS.md as system instructions.
+
+Current task:
+<PLAN_PR or BUILD_PR name>
+
+## Codex Command
+Use the template in docs/dev/templates/CODEX_AUTO_COMMAND.md
+
+## When to use GitHub connector
+Use it only when you explicitly want ChatGPT to inspect repo files through GitHub, such as:
+- "Open file <path>"
+- "Show me files in repo <name>"
+- "Read <repo>/<path>"
+- "Review this PR/issue"
+
+## Do not use GitHub connector for
+- broad repo scans
+- vague cleanup requests
+- workflow startup
+- anything already available in your local repo/Codex flow
