npx clawhub install open-chrome-tabs
What This Skill Does
Reads currently open browser tabs from Chrome and Chromium-based browsers (Arc, Brave, Edge). Can pull tabs from synced devices like a phone using Chrome sync data, or fall back to local session files when the browser is running.
Accessing tabs from synced devices is otherwise impossible without opening the browser manually on each device.
When to use it
- Find a tab you left open on your phone
- List all open tabs before closing a browser session
- Search URLs open across multiple synced devices
- Audit what's currently open in a specific Chrome profile
- Feed open tab URLs into an automation script
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.

AGENT
- 1Run chrome-open-tabs with the relevant profile to list synced devices
- 2Identify the target device name from the output
- 3Run chrome-open-tabs with --device flag and --json to fetch that device's tabs
- 4Parse the JSON output for URLs and titles
OUTPUT
A list of tab URLs and titles currently open on the user's Pixel 9a
