Tab grouping & recovery
Group observed tabs by purpose, preserve pinned tabs and restore supported previous layouts when newer manual edits do not conflict.
THE FIELD GUIDE / 03 — Browser & workspaces
Put the scattered pieces back into place.
Organize your real tabs, carry useful information across apps, and return to a saved setup.
Group my Chrome tabs into frontend work and research; leave the pinned ones alone.
JARVIS / IN EVERYDAY LIFEIllustrated possibilities. Your tools do the work.
01 / THE POSSIBILITIESA little more
A little more
within reach.
Research has a way of spreading across tabs, editor windows and half-finished tasks. Jarvis's desktop browser connection works with a connected Chrome or Edge profile, while workspace snapshots keep supported browser, editor and window references together.
See it in your daySelections & page tables
Read supported selected text or HTML tables and transfer them into a file, clipboard or connected editor.
Named workspace snapshots
Save and restore supported browser/editor references and native window positions under a name you choose.
Browser inspection & actions
The task agent also has a separately configured browser tool for navigation and page actions. That runtime is distinct from the real-profile desktop adapter.
02 / PUT IT INTO YOUR DAYOrdinary requests.
Ordinary requests.
Useful little transformations.
Follow the thought from the first sentence to the result. Make the names, files, and timing your own.
THE EVERYDAY / WORKFLOW 01
Turn a tab pile into two useful groups
You have a busy browser window with documentation, references and working application tabs.
START WITH THIS
“Group my Chrome tabs into frontend work and research; leave the pinned ones alone.”
- 01
Start with the context
The connected extension returns the current window's tab IDs, titles, URLs and grouping snapshot.
- 02
Let the work unfold
Jarvis proposes and applies a validated grouping based on that observed information and your requested categories.
- 03
Check the result
The previous layout is recorded. Ask to undo the grouping if it is not useful; recovery checks for conflicting newer organization.
THE RESULT TO LOOK FOR
Groups in the connected browser window. Titles and URLs may not be enough to infer every topic, so you can refine the grouping.
THE EVERYDAY / WORKFLOW 02
Take a useful table out of the browser
You found a useful HTML table and want to work with its values outside the page.
START WITH THIS
“Save this table as a CSV file.”
- 01
Start with the context
The browser adapter captures a supported table from the actual page you identify.
- 02
Let the work unfold
The workflow checks its structure and converts the values into a CSV output.
- 03
Check the result
Jarvis returns a file reference. Open it and inspect headings and rows before using it in your next step.
THE RESULT TO LOOK FOR
A real CSV file from the supported table. Merged cells are reported rather than silently shifting the columns.
THE EVERYDAY / WORKFLOW 03
Come back to the shape of a project
You are leaving a project that has its own editor window, references and desktop layout.
START WITH THIS
“Save this setup as Frontend. Later, bring back Frontend.”
- 01
Start with the context
Saving records supported browser/editor references and selected native window positions under your chosen name.
- 02
Let the work unfold
Restoring resolves that saved workspace and attempts to reopen or reposition the available components.
- 03
Check the result
Read the result for restored, skipped or unavailable components. Multiple matching workspace names return choices.
THE RESULT TO LOOK FOR
A recovered working arrangement for supported applications. Unsaved document contents and application memory are not captured.
Prepare your browser connection
Load the returned directory as an unpacked extension in Chrome or Edge. It connects to that profile and excludes private windows.
uv run jarvis desktop setup-browserConnect VS Code
Install the editor adapter and reload VS Code when required.
uv run jarvis desktop setup-editor --installCheck the connections
Use desktop status to confirm that the expected browser and editor are connected.
uv run jarvis desktop status04 / A CLEAR PICTUREGood to know
Good to know
before you begin.
A deliberate connection
The desktop extension is a development distribution loaded manually, not a published browser-store extension. It does not fall back to a different browser profile.
Recovery respects newer work
Undo may refuse a conflicting restoration if you have reorganized the tabs manually. Saved layouts are references, not full application backups.
The natural next questions.
Workflow images are generated illustrations, not screenshots of a connected assistant. Availability depends on your configured tools and providers.
