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 | | WebSocket + JS | API token | Prompt libraries, web apps | | POST /api/spawn | Token | Creating new terminal tabs |

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"

Then provide the relevant reference:

| Selection | Reference | |-----------|-----------| | Markdown Links | references/markdown-links.md | | HTML Buttons | references/html-integration.md | | CLI/Scripts | references/cli-websocket.md | | Web App JS | references/javascript-api.md | | Spawn API | references/spawn-api.md |

Authentication Summary
