Getting Tabs

bash

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):

bash

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):

bash

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

Export Formats

bash

export_tabs_markdown.sh [list|table|checklist|grouped]
export_tabs_json.sh
export_tabs_csv.sh
export_tabs_html.sh > bookmarks.html  # Importable format
