Prompt Switchboard Compare Workflows

Teach an agent to install Prompt Switchboard's local MCP sidecar, connect it in a host, and run a compare-first browser workflow.

Teach the agent how to install, connect, and use Prompt Switchboard as a compare-first browser workspace.

Use this skill when

• the user wants to compare the same prompt across multiple already-open AI chat tabs
• the host can run a local MCP server
• the user wants one inspectable compare artifact before broader automation

What this package teaches

• how to wire the local Prompt Switchboard MCP sidecar into a host
• which MCP tools are safe and useful first
• how to move from readiness checks to a real compare turn
• how to keep the workflow grounded in a browser-native compare product

Start here

1. Read references/INSTALL.md
2. Load the right host config from:
   • references/OPENHANDS_MCP_CONFIG.json
   • references/OPENCLAW_MCP_CONFIG.json
3. Skim the tool surface in references/CAPABILITIES.md
4. Run the demo from references/DEMO.md

Recommended workflow

1. prompt_switchboard.bridge_status
2. prompt_switchboard.check_readiness
3. prompt_switchboard.compare
4. prompt_switchboard.analyze_compare
5. prompt_switchboard.run_workflow

Suggested first prompt

Use Prompt Switchboard to compare the prompt below across the ready ChatGPT and Gemini tabs. Start with prompt_switchboard.bridge_status and prompt_switchboard.check_readiness. If fewer than two model tabs are ready, stop and tell me exactly which login or tab-prep step is missing. If two or more tabs are ready, run prompt_switchboard.compare and summarize the most important wording differences.

Success checks

• the host can launch the MCP server from the provided config
• bridge_status confirms the local bridge is reachable
• check_readiness identifies which tabs are ready
• compare produces a real session/turn artifact the agent can inspect

Boundaries

• Prompt Switchboard stays a local browser workflow, not a hosted service
• the MCP sidecar supports compare workflows; it does not replace the extension
• keep claims grounded in the actual tool surface documented in this package
