Arnie016 Front Tab Relay
Use this skill when the user wants a Mac menu-bar utility for taking the current browser tab and handing it off somewhere else without copying and cleaning it manually.
Core Workflow
- Read the frontmost supported browser and capture the visible tab title and URL.
- Show one compact relay card with the browser, domain, and output presets.
- Prefer one-tap formats that are already useful in the next destination: markdown, prompt context, ticket bullet, or plain text.
- Keep the interaction short enough to feel like a real top-bar utility instead of a browser replacement.
- Treat the relay as a handoff step, not a history tool or a tab manager.
Local Helper
Use scripts/front_tab_relay.py when a deterministic local read is useful:
python skills/front-tab-relay/scripts/front_tab_relay.py current --format json
python skills/front-tab-relay/scripts/front_tab_relay.py current --format markdown
python skills/front-tab-relay/scripts/front_tab_relay.py copy --format prompt
The helper uses macOS osascript and supports Safari, Google Chrome, Brave Browser, Arc, and Microsoft Edge. It reads only the front visible tab of the chosen browser and does not use network access.
Guardrails
- Do not claim full browser history, hidden tabs, or page contents; this skill is about the visible active tab metadata only.
- If macOS automation permission is blocked, explain the permission path instead of inventing browser state.
- If the frontmost app is unsupported, ask for a supported browser or a direct URL instead of guessing.
- Keep the relay formats short and destination-ready; do not turn this into a large bookmark manager.
Prototype
The SwiftUI starter in prototype/ sketches a small status-item shell: current tab card, output presets, recent relays, and one primary copy action. Use it as the top-level menu-bar layer for a real macOS target.
