Work on this in Claude Code gives you one prompt to paste into a coding agent. The agent clones your project and knows how it works. You find it in the project’s Share dialog, in the project’s menu on the Projects page, and in the command palette.

What the prompt contains

  • The commands to clone the project through Chipp’s git proxy. No GitHub account is needed.
  • How this project works: its stack, how to run it and test it, how database changes ship. This comes from the project’s own repository guide.
  • How changes ship: which branch is production, the deploy gate, and that Publish in the Builder is the release approval.
  • The live app address and the app’s MCP server (Use with Claude, ChatGPT or Grok).
  • The Chipp MCP servers for Builder functions such as tickets and deploys.
  • What your role allows.

Your credential

The prompt carries a personal git credential, shown once.

  • A viewer gets a read-only credential. It can clone and pull. It can never push.
  • An editor or owner outside your organization also gets a read-only one.
  • Your organization’s owners and editors get a credential that can push.
  • It expires after 30 days. Revoke it any time under Deployment, Git access.
  • The agent stores it in your system’s git credential helper. It is not written into the repository or the clone URL.

Removing someone from the project revokes the credentials they created.

Pushing

A push to the production branch ships like the Builder’s Publish. If your project needs an owner’s approval to publish, push your own branch and use Request publish in the Builder.
