About setup-browser-cookies
The `setup-browser-cookies` skill enables users to import cookies from various browsers, including Comet, Chrome, Arc, Brave, and Edge, into a headless browsing session. This allows automated or scripted sessions to inherit authentication states and session data directly from a real browser, eliminating the need for repetitive logins and enabling smoother interactions with authenticated web pages. By providing an interactive picker UI, users can selectively choose which cookie domains to import, ensuring both convenience and control over the imported data.
Key features include a browser-agnostic cookie import mechanism, an interactive domain selection interface, and integration with session and telemetry management workflows. The skill handles session housekeeping by creating and cleaning session files, respects user preferences for proactive suggestions, and manages telemetry prompts in a privacy-conscious manner. It also includes mechanisms for upgrade handling, completeness principle introduction, and automated logging of skill usage for analytics purposes.
Typical use cases for `setup-browser-cookies` include QA testing of web applications that require authentication, automated browsing tasks that depend on user-specific cookies, and development workflows where consistent session states are necessary. Target users include QA engineers, developers performing automated web testing, and any user who needs to replicate authenticated browser sessions in a headless environment efficiently.
