 ## Unreleased
 
+- ChatGPT/Codex directory package is submittable without hand-edits: `.mcp.json` (Jam URL plus `"type": "http"` for Claude plugin validate), a short description of at most 30 characters ("Debug and test from Jam links"), version 1.36.3 matching Jam MCP / `server.json`, and generated release notes. The packager stamps the version from `server.json`; CI fails if Codex drifts. The zip now ships `jam`, `jam-fix`, `jam-to-e2e`, `jam-to-tasks` and `jam-to-ticket`. `jam-to-tasks` and `jam-to-ticket` use Jam MCP first, with CLI steps in `references/cli.md`, so ChatGPT does not stop for a missing `jam` binary.
 - Links to the Jam CLI and Jam MCP docs use their canonical URLs, `https://jam.dev/docs/cli` and `https://jam.dev/docs/jam-mcp`, instead of short links that redirect.
 - Added `jam-setup`: set up Jam for a coding agent in one run. It installs the Jam CLI after the user says yes to the install command (the user runs it when they say no or the harness blocks it), signs in, connects Jam MCP with `add-mcp`, installs the skills with `skills`, and checks the result with `jam doctor`. It asks once whether to install for this project or every project, skips what is already set up, and skips MCP and skills when the Jam plugin is installed. `jam skills install` is the fallback without Node.js.
 - `jam-proof`, `jam-fix`, `jam-to-e2e`, `jam-annotate` and `jam-proof-table` link the Jams they make: attach the pull request, ticket or CI run as a resource, and mark a proof Jam as `fixes` or `proves` of the bug Jam, so the bug Jam shows the backlink. `fixes` is used only for a fix the recording shows working.

 ### ChatGPT directory package
 
-The ChatGPT directory takes the skills that read a Jam over MCP alone: `jam-fix` and `jam-to-e2e`, without their `references/`. The CLI steps (in `jam-proof`, `jam-annotate` and the `references/cli.md` files) run local commands, which ChatGPT's external-code review can flag, so a skill meant for ChatGPT keeps them in `references/` and is added to `SKILLS` in `scripts/package-chatgpt.mjs`. Build the package from `master` after the merge: the packaged skills link to `references/` on GitHub.

The packager writes both, and `scripts/check.mjs` fails if they drift.
