SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Headless browser sessions start with no logged-in state, so QA testing authenticated pages fails or requires manual login every time. This Skill imports cookies from your real Chromium browser into the headless session so authenticated pages work immediately. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Interactive Cookie Picker: Opens a browser-based UI where you search domains and select which cookies to import, without exposing cookie values. - Direct Domain Import: Skip the UI and import cookies for a specific domain with a single command, e.g. for github.com. - CDP Mode Detection: Detects when you are already connected to your real browser via CDP and skips the import entirely. - Use Case: Before running QA tests on pages behind a login, import your session cookies from Chrome or Comet so the headless browser can access authenticated routes. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to import cookies from your browser so you can test logged-in pages, then pick the domains in the picker UI that opens.

Frequently Asked Questions about setup-browser-cookies

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I import cookies into a headless browser for testing?▼

Run the cookie-import-browser command, which detects installed Chromium browsers and opens a picker UI. Select the domains you want, and the cookies are decrypted and loaded into the Playwright session automatically.

How do I test authenticated pages with Playwright without logging in?▼

Import cookies from your real browser session into the headless session first. Once imported, the browse session persists cookies between commands, so authenticated pages work immediately in subsequent tests.

Can I import cookies for a specific domain only?▼

Yes, pass the domain directly, for example cookie-import-browser comet --domain github.com. This skips the picker UI and imports only that domain's cookies from the specified browser.

Why does macOS show a Keychain dialog when importing browser cookies?▼

Chromium encrypts cookies using a key stored in the macOS Keychain, so the first import per browser triggers an access prompt. Click Allow or Always Allow to let the tool decrypt the cookies.

Do I need to import cookies if my browser is connected via CDP?▼

No. When the browse session is connected to your real browser via CDP, your cookies and sessions are already available, so the import step is skipped entirely.
