Project Thoth Capture

This folder contains a minimal Manifest V3 browser extension skeleton for Chrome and Edge.

Local installation

1. Open Chrome or Edge.
2. Navigate to chrome://extensions or edge://extensions.
3. Enable "Developer mode".
4. Click "Load unpacked".
5. Select the applications/chatgpt-capture folder in this repository.

Current behavior

• The toolbar button is visible in the browser toolbar.
• Clicking it checks whether the active tab is a ChatGPT page.
• On a supported ChatGPT tab, the extractor runs in the page context and sends a capture payload back to the service worker.
• On unsupported tabs, the extension logs a simple warning and does not inject the script.
• Future extraction logic can be expanded in src/chatgptExtractor.js and src/background.js.

How to test against a live ChatGPT page

1. Load the unpacked extension from this folder in Chrome or Edge developer mode.
2. Open a real ChatGPT conversation in a tab.
3. Open the extension's service worker console:
   • Visit chrome://extensions or edge://extensions.
   • Find "Project Thoth Capture" and click "service worker" or "inspect views".
4. Click the extension toolbar button while the ChatGPT tab is active.
5. Inspect the console for:
   • ChatGPT extractor payload:
   • Received capture payload:
6. If the page is detected as a conversation, the payload should include title, url, capturedAt, and messages.
   • If no messages are found, the payload will include an error field instead.
