Prompt Switchboard Compare Workflows
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
- Read references/INSTALL.md
- Load the right host config from:
- Skim the tool surface in references/CAPABILITIES.md
- Run the demo from references/DEMO.md

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_statusconfirms the local bridge is reachablecheck_readinessidentifies which tabs are readycompareproduces 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
