ChatGPT + Postal
Create tasks from conversations

1. Open the ChatGPT desktop app (macOS or Windows)
2. Drag your workspace's AGENT.md into the chat
   (or copy-paste its contents)
3. Ask ChatGPT to create a task — it generates the
   right file format (content.md + .project.json entry)
4. Save the output files to your Postal workspace folder
5. Postal detects new files within ~1 second

I use Postal for task management. Here's the file format
[attach AGENT.md]. My workspace is at ~/Documents/Postal.

Create a task called "Prepare Q2 roadmap" with notes
about the key milestones. Give me the content.md file
and the .project.json update I need to make.

I use Postal for task management. Here's the file format
[attach AGENT.md]. My workspace is at ~/Documents/Postal
and my project folder is "Work".

Generate a bash script that creates these tasks:
- Design landing page mockups
- Set up CI/CD pipeline
- Write API documentation
- Onboard new team member
- Review Q1 metrics

Each task should have a random 8-character folder ID,
a content.md with the title, and the script should
update .project.json with all the new task entries.

#!/bin/bash
PROJ="$HOME/Documents/Postal/Work"

create_task() {
    local title="$1"
    local fid=$(cat /dev/urandom | LC_ALL=C tr -dc 'a-z0-9' | head -c 8)
    mkdir -p "$PROJ/$fid"
    echo "# $title" > "$PROJ/$fid/content.md"
    echo "Created: $fid → $title"
}

create_task "Design landing page mockups"
create_task "Set up CI/CD pipeline"
create_task "Write API documentation"
create_task "Onboard new team member"
create_task "Review Q1 metrics"

# Then update .project.json (see AGENT.md for full format)

# After researching something in ChatGPT, capture it:
~/.local/bin/postal "ChatGPT research: best practices for API rate limiting"

# Add a label and type:
~/.local/bin/postal --label Research --type note "OAuth 2.0 PKCE flow notes from ChatGPT session"

# Capture with a due date:
~/.local/bin/postal --type task --due 2026-04-01 "Implement rate limiting per ChatGPT recommendations"
