When using Claude Code inside Worklayer’s terminal panel, I wanted it to be able to interact with web pages displayed in adjacent web panels.

I spend most of my working day jumping between a terminal, a browser, and an editor. Usually multiple instances of each, spread across different virtual desktops or hidden behind other windows. Every time I switch context between projects, there is a cost. I have to remember which terminal is running which service, which browser tab has the right dashboard, and which editor window has the file I was working on. The state is scattered.
