Chief of Staff v2.1.1
Chief v2.1.1 makes the team installation process intentionally boring: install Chief once and ask for work normally.
Teammate install
After OpenAI publishes Chief in the universal Plugins Directory:
- Open ChatGPT and switch to Work.
- Open Plugins and find Chief of Staff.
- Click +.
- Start a new chat and ask for the finished work.
A workspace admin can set Chief to Installed for required roles. Until OpenAI approves and publishes the listing, admins and developers can use the GitHub-backed marketplace instructions in the package.
Architecture
- One discoverable Chief skill
- Internal ICM, brand voice, general copy, paid ads, paid video, social, carousel, document, research, technical, and client-delivery workflows
- Pinned AI Sloppy Copy 0.5.0, Brand Voice Factory 0.2.1, and Crafty Carousels 0.6.1 runtimes
- No Ponytail dependency
- No Claude distribution route
- No separate specialist selection for teammates
The specialist repositories remain independently maintained upstream factories. They are not separate team-facing OpenAI directory submissions.
Release evidence
This is a documentation and distribution-only patch. Model-facing behavior is unchanged from v2.1.0. Its accepted GPT-5.6 Sol Medium evidence is carried forward with the reason recorded in the package. The rebuilt v2.1.1 installed package passed strict validation, local parity, and the single-skill smoke check. Terra remains pending under the version-bound owner waiver.
SHA-256 is supplied as a separate release asset.
