Spawn and manage terminal tabs via TabzChrome REST API. An agent skill from GGPrompts/TabzChrome.

  • Spawning workers
  • SKILL.md covers Spawn API, Spawn Options, Parallel Workers with Worktrees and Worker Prompts, plus 2 more sections
  • Runs Shell scripts from its folder; calls curl and jq
  • Creating terminals programmatically

What it does

Tabz Terminals is an agent skill from GGPrompts/TabzChrome. Spawn and manage terminal tabs via TabzChrome REST API. Use when spawning workers, creating terminals programmatically, setting up worktrees for parallel work, or crafting prompts for Claude workers.

Its SKILL.md is about 700 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/spawn-api.md`, `references/worker-prompts.md` and `references/worktree-setup.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Git worktrees and REST APIs. The repository describes itself as: Chrome extension for managing tmux sessions in a persistent sidebar. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Spawning workers
  • Creating terminals programmatically
  • Setting up worktrees for parallel work
  • Crafting prompts for Claude workers

Example prompts

  • “/tabz-terminals”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ec502b1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl
    • jq

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Tabz Terminals loads about 696 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 121 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~696
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Spawn and manage terminal tabs via TabzChrome REST API. Use when spawning workers, creating terminals programmatically, setting up worktrees for parallel work, or crafting prompts for Claude workers.

TabzChrome Terminal Management

Spawn terminals, manage workers, and orchestrate parallel Claude sessions.

Spawn API

bash
TOKEN=$(cat /tmp/tabz-auth-token)
curl -X POST http://localhost:8129/api/spawn \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Auth-Token: $TOKEN" \
  -d '{"name": "Worker", "workingDir": "~/projects", "command": "claude"}'

Response:

json
{
  "success": true,
  "terminalId": "ctt-default-abc123",
  "tmuxSession": "ctt-default-abc123"
}

Spawn Options

FieldTypeDefaultDescription
namestring"Claude Terminal"Tab display name
workingDirstring$HOMEStarting directory
commandstring-Command to run after spawn
profileIdstringdefaultProfile for appearance

Parallel Workers with Worktrees

bash
# Create isolated worktree (bd handles beads redirect automatically)
bd worktree create feature-branch

# Spawn worker there with BEADS_WORKING_DIR for MCP tools
PROJECT_DIR=$(pwd)
curl -X POST http://localhost:8129/api/spawn \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Auth-Token: $TOKEN" \
  -d "{\"name\": \"Feature Worker\", \"workingDir\": \"../feature-branch\", \"command\": \"BEADS_WORKING_DIR=$PROJECT_DIR claude\"}"

Key: BEADS_WORKING_DIR tells the beads MCP server where to find the database. Point it to the main repo, not the worktree.

Worker Prompts

Keep prompts simple - workers are vanilla Claude:

Fix the pagination bug in useTerminalSessions.ts around line 200.
Run tests when done: npm test
Close the issue: bd close TabzChrome-abc --reason="done"

Avoid prescriptive step-by-step pipelines. Let Claude work naturally.

Worker Management

List Workers
bash
curl -s http://localhost:8129/api/agents | jq '.data[]'
Find by Name
bash
curl -s http://localhost:8129/api/agents | jq -r '.data[] | select(.name == "V4V-ct9")'
Get Session ID
bash
SESSION=$(curl -s http://localhost:8129/api/agents | jq -r '.data[] | select(.name == "V4V-ct9") | .id')
Kill Worker
bash
curl -s -X DELETE "http://localhost:8129/api/agents/$SESSION" \
  -H "X-Auth-Token: $TOKEN"
Send Prompt via tmux
bash
tmux send-keys -t "$SESSION" -l "Your prompt here"
sleep 0.5
tmux send-keys -t "$SESSION" Enter
