Integration Methods

Method	Auth	Best For
Markdown `tabz:` links	None	Project dashboards, docs in file viewer
HTML `data-terminal-command`	None	Static buttons on web pages
WebSocket + websocat	File token	CLI/tmux workflows

Quick Start

First, ask which integration the user needs:

questions:
  - question: "Which TabzChrome integration methods do you need?"
    header: "Integration"
    multiSelect: true
    options:
      - label: "Markdown Links"
        description: "tabz: protocol for project dashboards in file viewer"
      - label: "HTML Buttons"
        description: "data-terminal-command for 'Run in Terminal' buttons"
      - label: "CLI/Scripts"
        description: "WebSocket via websocat for shell scripts"
      - label: "Web App JS"
        description: "JavaScript WebSocket for prompt libraries"
      - label: "Spawn API"
        description: "POST /api/spawn to create new tabs"
