SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates authentication friction in headless browsing by letting you import logged-in Chromium session cookies so QA and gated pages work immediately.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interactive cookie domain picker: Opens a UI to select which cookie domains to import from your real Chromium browser.
  • Direct domain import option: Supports importing a specified domain without using the picker UI when the user provides it.
  • Post-import verification: Summarizes imported cookie domains so you can confirm the session state before testing.
  • When to use: Use it when asked to import cookies, log in to a site, authenticate the browser, or run authenticated QA flows.

Quick Start

Invoke /setup-browser-cookies and select the cookie domains you want to import from your Chromium browser in the picker UI, then tell the system when you are done.

FAQPage Schema
How do I import real browser cookies into a headless Chromium session for Playwright?▼

To import cookies for QA testing, invoke the Skill to open an interactive domain picker UI, select the desired authenticated Chromium profiles, and confirm the import to enable access to login-required pages.

Can I specify a direct domain to import cookies from without using the interactive picker?▼

Yes, you can bypass the interactive domain picker UI by providing a specific domain directly, which allows the Skill to import the relevant session cookies for that domain without manual selection.

Does this Skill verify the authenticated session state after importing cookies?▼

Yes, the Skill performs post-import verification by summarizing the imported cookie domains, allowing you to confirm the authenticated session state before proceeding with browser automation or QA testing.

Why do my Playwright QA tests fail on login-required flows in headless mode?▼

Playwright QA tests fail on login-required flows because headless browser sessions lack prior authentication; using this Skill solves the problem by transferring real Chromium cookies to authenticate the headless session.

When should I use cookie import instead of automating the login flow for browser testing?▼

You should use cookie import when troubleshooting login-required flows or running authenticated QA tests where recreating manual login sessions is inefficient or hindered by complex authentication barriers.
