Custom GPTs scripts and tools

This directory contains utilities for working with ChatGPT Custom GPTs in TheBigPromptLibrary:

• idxtool.py - GPT indexing and searching tool
• gen_gpt_templ.py - Generate markdown templates for ChatGPT GPTs by downloading and parsing their metadata
• oneoff.py - One-off operations on GPT files (e.g., batch reformatting)

idxtool

The idxtool script is a Custom GPT indexing and searching tool used in TheBigPromptLibrary.

Command line

usage: idxtool.py [-h] [--toc [TOC]] [--find-gpt FIND_GPT] 
                  [--template TEMPLATE] [--parse-gptfile PARSE_GPTFILE] 
		  [--rename]

idxtool: A GPT indexing and searching tool for the CSP repo

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --toc [TOC]           Rebuild the table of contents of GPT custom instructions
  --find-gpt FIND_GPT   Find a GPT file by its ID or full ChatGPT URL
  --template TEMPLATE   Creates an empty GPT template file from a ChatGPT URL
  --parse-gptfile PARSE_GPTFILE
                        Parses a GPT file name
  --rename              Rename the GPT file names to include their GPT ID

Features

• Rebuild TOC: Use --toc to rebuild the table of contents for GPT custom instructions.
• Find GPT File: Use --find-gpt [GPTID or Full ChatGPT URL or a response file with IDs/URLs] to find a GPT by its ID or URL.
• Rename GPT: Use --rename to rename all the GPTs to include their GPTID as prefix.
• Create a starter template GPT file: Use --template [Full ChatGPT URL] to create a starter template GPT file.
• Help: Use --help to display the help message and usage instructions.

Example

To rebuild the custom GPTs files, run:

python idxtool.py --toc

To find a GPT by its ID, run:

python idxtool.py --find-gpt 3rtbLUIUO

or by URL:

python idxtool.py --find-gpt https://chat.openai.com/g/g-svehnI9xP-retro-adventures

Additionally, you can have a file with a list of IDs or URLs and pass it to the --find-gpt option:

python idxtool.py --find-gpt @gptids.txt

(note the '@' symbol).

The gptids.txt file contains a list of IDs or URLs, one per line:

3rtbLUIUO

gen_gpt_templ

The gen_gpt_templ script generates markdown templates for ChatGPT GPTs by downloading and parsing their metadata from the ChatGPT website.

Command line

usage: gen_gpt_templ.py [-h] [--debug] [--dump] [input]

Generate markdown template for ChatGPT GPTs

positional arguments:
  input       GPT URL, GPT ID, g-prefixed GPT ID, or @response_file

options:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  --debug     Save debug files (HTML and dump)
  --dump      Save parsed names and values to .txt file

Features

• Downloads GPT metadata from ChatGPT URLs
• Parses GPT information including title, description, author, and profile picture
• Generates markdown templates with GPT metadata
• Supports multiple input formats:
  • Full ChatGPT URL: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-VgbIr9TQQ-ida-pro-c-sdk-and-decompiler
  • Conversation URL: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-m5lMeGifF-sql-expert-querygpt/c/682cd38c-ca8c-800d-b6e2-33b8ba763824
  • GPT ID: VgbIr9TQQ
  • Prefixed GPT ID: g-VgbIr9TQQ
  • Response file: @gptids.txt (processes multiple GPTs from a file)

Examples

Generate template for a single GPT:

python gen_gpt_templ.py https://chatgpt.com/g/g-VgbIr9TQQ-ida-pro-c-sdk-and-decompiler

Process multiple GPTs from a file:

python gen_gpt_templ.py @gptids.txt

Generate template with debug output:

python gen_gpt_templ.py g-VgbIr9TQQ --debug --dump

Differences between idxtool and gen_gpt_templ

idxtool --template

• Uses gen_gpt_templ internally to download actual GPT metadata from ChatGPT
• Creates templates with real GPT information (title, description, author, logo)
• Generates properly named files ({gpt_id}.md) without RENAMEME suffix
• Simpler interface for basic template generation within the idxtool workflow

gen_gpt_templ

• Full-featured standalone tool with additional capabilities:
  • --dump flag to save all parsed metadata to .txt file
  • --debug flag to save HTML and debug information
  • Batch processing with @response_file for multiple GPTs
  • More detailed console output showing download and parsing progress
  • Can be used as a module by other tools (like idxtool)

Use idxtool --template when you need a quick template as part of your GPT file management workflow. Use gen_gpt_templ directly when you need the advanced features like metadata dumping or batch processing.

oneoff

The oneoff script performs one-off operations on GPT files, primarily batch processing tasks.

Features

• Reformat GPT files: Reformats all GPT markdown files in a source directory and saves them to a destination directory
• Validates GPT file structure during processing
• Preserves GPT metadata (ID, name) during reformatting

Usage

The script is designed for batch operations. Currently supports:

1. Batch reformatting: Process all .md files in a source directory, reformat them according to the standard GPT markdown structure, and save to a destination directory.

Example usage in code:

from oneoff import reformat_gpt_files

success, message = reformat_gpt_files("source_gpts/", "formatted_gpts/")
print(message)
