SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the repetitive work of manually logging into authenticated web pages every time you run a headless browser test, by letting you import your existing logged-in sessions from your local Chromium browser.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • CDP Mode Detection: Automatically checks if you are already connected to your real browser via CDP, so no cookie import is needed if your existing sessions are already available.
  • Interactive Cookie Picker: Auto-detects installed Chromium browsers and opens a UI to select which cookie domains to import, no manual cookie handling or decryption required.
  • Direct Domain Import: Lets you import cookies for a specific domain directly without the picker UI for faster, targeted test setup.
  • Use Case: QA testers can quickly set up authenticated headless sessions for internal tools, SaaS platforms, or client sites by importing their existing browser cookies, cutting test setup time from minutes to seconds.

Quick Start

Use the setup-browser-cookies skill to import your existing Chromium browser cookies into the headless browse session for authenticated QA testing.

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

To import browser cookies for headless testing, use the skill to extract and transfer existing logged-in Chromium sessions into your headless test environment. It automatically handles cross-platform cookie decryption and domain-specific imports to bypass manual login steps.

Can I use my existing authenticated sessions for QA automation without logging in again?

Yes, you can use existing authenticated sessions for QA automation by importing your local Chromium browser cookies directly into the headless session. This eliminates the repetitive work of manually logging into web pages during test setup.

Does CDP mode detection skip the cookie import process?

Yes, CDP mode detection automatically checks if you are already connected to your real browser via CDP. If your existing authenticated sessions are already available, no cookie import is needed for the headless testing workflow.

What is the fastest way to set up authenticated sessions for specific domains in headless browsers?

The fastest way to set up authenticated sessions is using direct domain import, which lets you import cookies for a specific domain without launching the interactive picker UI. This enables targeted test setup, cutting configuration time from minutes to seconds.

Do I need to manually decrypt Chromium browser cookies to use them for headless QA testing?

No, you do not need to manually decrypt Chromium browser cookies. The skill handles cross-platform cookie decryption automatically and provides an interactive cookie picker UI to select which cookie domains to import into the headless session.
