SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill eliminates the friction of manually logging into web applications during automated testing by importing your existing, authenticated browser session cookies into the headless environment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interactive Cookie Picker: Easily select specific domains to import from your local Chromium-based browsers.
  • Headless Authentication: Enables automated agents to perform actions on sites that require login without needing to re-authenticate every session.
  • Use Case: When you need to run QA tests on a dashboard that requires a logged-in user, use this skill to import your active session so the agent can access protected pages immediately.

Quick Start

Invoke the setup browser cookies skill to open the picker and select the domains you need to authenticate.

FAQPage Schema
How do I import authenticated browser cookies into a Playwright session?

You can import authenticated browser cookies into a Playwright session by using a skill that extracts and injects session data from local Chromium browser profiles. This enables headless authentication for automated workflows.

Can I use an existing local browser session for automated QA testing?

Yes, you can use an existing local browser session for automated QA testing by importing your active session cookies. This eliminates the friction of manually logging into web applications during headless test execution.

How do I select specific domains when importing browser cookies for headless automation?

To select specific domains when importing browser cookies for headless automation, you invoke the skill to open an interactive cookie picker. You then choose the exact domains you need to authenticate from your local browser profiles.

Do I need the gstack browse binary to decrypt and inject session data?

Yes, you need the gstack browse binary to decrypt and inject session data. It is required to access local Chromium browser profiles and extract the authenticated session cookies into the headless environment.

Why does my automated agent fail to access protected pages requiring login?

Automated agents fail to access protected pages requiring login because headless sessions start unauthenticated. You must import existing authenticated session cookies from a local Chromium browser to grant the agent immediate access.

Does importing session cookies work with all browsers or only Chromium?

Importing session cookies for headless automation only works with local Chromium-based browsers. The skill specifically requires access to Chromium browser profiles to decrypt and inject the session data into Playwright.
