Getting Tabs
get_tabs.sh # All tabs as TSV
get_tabs.sh markdown # All tabs as markdown
get_tabs.sh -w 1 markdown # Window 1 only
get_tabs.sh -m "term" markdown # Window containing "term"
Closing Tabs
Always use close_by_pattern.sh (finds tabs by URL regardless of position):
close_by_pattern.sh "unique-url-substring"
# Examples
close_by_pattern.sh "adrianroselli.com"
close_by_pattern.sh "/article/css-has-guide"
Closes ALL matching tabs across all windows. Use unique substring.
Alternative: close by position (error-prone, avoid unless necessary):
close_tabs.sh "1,5" "2,3" # Window,tab pairs (1-indexed)
Analysis Workflow
- Fetch:
get_tabs.sh markdown - Analyze: group by domain, identify duplicates/clusters, flag stale content
- Report: stats, categorized list, suggestions
- Act: close with
close_by_pattern.sh "url-substring"
Process-and-close pattern:
- Fetch tab
- Process it
- Close:
close_by_pattern.sh "unique-url-part" - Next tab
