[FEATURE] Reuse existing Chrome tab group instead of creating new ones
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Jan 2, 2026 by ykdojo Closed Feb 15, 2026
Problem
When using Claude in Chrome, a new tab group is created for each task, even when a completed tab group already exists. This leads to accumulating tab groups.
Current Behavior
- Start a task → Creates "⏳Claude" tab group
- Task completes → Tab group becomes "✅Claude"
- Start a new task → Creates a new "⏳Claude" tab group instead of reusing the existing one
Tab groups accumulate over time.
Expected Behavior
When starting a new task, if an existing Claude tab group is available (especially a completed ✅ one), reuse it instead of creating a new one.
