| description | Use when the user wants a hands-free loop where grabbing UI elements in the browser with React Grab feeds tasks to the agent automatically, with no copy-paste or manual handoff. Triggers include "watch React Grab", "monitor my grabs", "auto-process React Grab", and "watch my clipboard for grabs". Do not use for a one-off paste of a single grab. |
React Grab
Use React Grab selections from the browser as a continuous task queue.
Watch loop
Repeat until the user says stop:
- Wait for the next grab:
bunx react-grab@latest pull --max-age 0
--max-age 0 delivers every grab, including grabs made while another task was
in progress. If the command is interrupted, run it again; the watcher keeps its
queue.
- Act on each JSON line returned.
- Return to step 1.
Handle newer grabs first
While working, check for a newer grab between steps:
bunx react-grab@latest pull --max-age 0 --wait 0
Empty output means continue. A new grab supersedes the current task: stop work
that has not been completed, terminate background processes started for it, and
act on the newest grab.
Run slow commands as background processes so the queue can still be checked.
Act on a grab
Each grab has content with source references and may have a prompt:
- When
prompt is present, treat it as the task and use the references in
content to locate the source.
- When
prompt is absent, follow the user's standing instruction. If none was
provided, summarize the component and source location, then wait for direction.
Stop
When the user says stop, run:
bunx react-grab@latest stop
Do not pull again after stopping. Run the watcher on the same machine as the
browser because it reads the local clipboard.
