a Chrome Manifest V3 extension that reads the current page, and offers a popup UI that sends the page content to the Anthropic Claude API along with a prompt to summarize it, and lets the user modify that prompt and re-send the prompt+content to get another summary view of the content.
- When clicked:
- it injects a content script
content_script.json the currently open tab, and accesses the titlepageTitleand main contentpageContentof the currently open page (extracted via an injected content script, and sent over using astorePageContentaction) - in the background, receives the
storePageContentdata and stores it - pops up a small window with a simple, modern, slick, minimalistic styled html popup
- in the popup script
- retrieves the page content data using a
getPageContentaction (and the background listens for thegetPageContentaction and retrieves that data) - check extension storage for an
apiKey, and if it isn't stored, ask the user for an API key to Anthropic Claude and stores it. - calls the Anthropic model endpoint https://api.anthropic.com/v1/complete with the
claude-instant-v1-100kmodel with:- append the page title
- append the page content
- append a prompt to ask for a detailed, easy to read HTML summary of the given content with 3-4 highlights per section with important keywords bolded and important links preserved.
in this format:
defaultPrompt = `Human: Please provide a detailed, easy to read HTML summary of the given content with 3-4 highlights per section with important keywords bolded and important links preserved, in this format: <h1>{title here}</h1> <h2>{section title here}</h2> <ul> <!-- if there is an important, relevant image --> <img src={main image, if any} style="height:8rem"> <li><strong>{first point}</strong>: {short explanation with details, with any relevant links included}</li> <li><strong>{second point}</strong>: {short explanation with details, with any relevant links included}</li> <li><strong>{third point}</strong>: <!-- etc --> <!-- etc --> </ul> <h2>{second section here}</h2> <ul> <!-- etc --> </ul> <!-- etc --> With all the words in brackets replaced by the summary of the content. Only draw from the source content, do not hallucinate. Assistant:`; ```js
- renders the Anthropic-generated HTML summary inside of the popup in a div with an id of content
- retrieves the page content data using a
- at the bottom of the popup, show a textarea with an id of
userPromptwith a short default value prompt, and a submit button with an id ofsendButton.- when
sendButtonis clicked, lets the user re-ask Anthropic with the same page title and page content but different prompt (fromuserPrompt). - disable these inputs while it waits for the Anthropic api call to complete
- when
- it injects a content script
Important Details:
-
It has to run in a browser environment, so no Nodejs APIs allowed.
-
the popup should show a "Read page content of {TITLE}" message with a big fat attractive juicy css animated candy stripe loading indicator
loadingIndicatorwhile waiting for the anthropic api to return, with the TITLE being the page title. do not show it until the api call begins, and clear it when it ends. -
the return signature of the anthropic api is curl https://api.anthropic.com/v1/complete\ -H "x-api-key: $API_KEY"
-H 'content-type: application/json'
-d '{ "prompt": "\n\nHuman: Tell me a haiku about trees\n\nAssistant: ", "model": "claude-v1", "max_tokens_to_sample": 1000, "stop_sequences": ["\n\nHuman:"] }' {"completion":" Here is a haiku about trees:\n\nSilent sentinels, \nStanding solemn in the woods,\nBranches reaching sky.","stop":"\n\nHuman:","stop_reason":"stop_sequence","truncated":false,"log_id":"f5d95cf326a4ac39ee36a35f434a59d5","model":"claude-v1","exception":null} -
in the string prompt sent to Anthropic, first include the page title and page content, and finally append the prompt, clearly vertically separated by spacing.
-
if the Anthropic api call is a 401, handle that in popup.js by clearing the stored anthropic api key and asking for it again.
-
add styles to make sure the popup's styling follows the basic rules of web design, for example having margins around the body, and a system font stack.
-
style the popup body with a minimum width of 400 and height of 600.
inside of background.js, just take the getPageContent response directly
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((request, sender, sendResponse) => {
if (request.action === 'storePageContent') {
// dont access request.pageContent
chrome.storage.local.set({ pageContent: request }, () => {
sendResponse({ success: true });
});
} else if (request.action === 'getPageContent') {
chrome.storage.local.get(['pageContent'], (result) => {
// dont access request.pageContent
sendResponse(result);
});
}
return true;
});inside of popup.js, Update the function calls to requestAnthropicSummary
in popup.js to pass the apiKey:
chrome.storage.local.get(['apiKey'], (result) => {
const apiKey = result.apiKey;
requestAnthropicSummary(defaultPrompt, apiKey);
});
sendButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
chrome.storage.local.get(['apiKey'], (result) => {
const apiKey = result.apiKey;
requestAnthropicSummary(userPrompt.value, apiKey);
});
});in popup.js, store the defaultPrompt at the top level.
also, give a HTML format to the anthropic prompt
