Portal Open

Portal Open Skill

Drive Edge/Chrome to a specific page in the Carefeed admin portal across environments. Handles login (via 1Password) and org/facility switching transparently.

When to use

• "Open REF-1148" / "show me referral 1148"
• "Take me to the staging clinical tab for REF-1148"
• "Open the portal in demo" (no specific page)
• "Pull up the dashboard in production" (with prod-confirmation prompt)
• Any request that means "drive the browser to this portal URL for me"

Environments

Default env is staging if none specified.

The Production 1Password item stores the password under field passnew, not password. The library handles that fallback.

How it works

There is no one-shot facility-switch + redirect URL. An earlier version of this skill assumed {base}/facility/{id}?redirect={path} worked — it does not (returns "Page Not Available").

The actual session-facility-switch endpoint is:

GET {base}/users/facility/{facility_id}

The legacy portal ships a jQuery handler on #MainFacilityId that hits this URL via AJAX, then location.reload()s. When we navigate the browser there directly, the endpoint flips the session facility and renders /users/dashboard with the new facility active. We then navigate to the target path as a second navigation.

So the flow is two navigations in this order:

1. GET {base}/users/facility/{id} — flips session facility, lands on /users/dashboard.
2. GET {base}{path} — actual target.

If the path doesn't need a facility switch, just navigate directly to {base}{path}.

Algorithm

The flow is login-first, then navigate to the target. Don't navigate to the target URL hoping to be authenticated — the facility-switch wrapper at {base}/facility/{id}?redirect=... returns an empty body when the session is unauthenticated rather than redirecting to /login, which makes failure look like success.

1. Parse input. Resolve:

   • env (default staging)
   • path (e.g. /referrals/1148/patient/clinical)
   • Optional shorthand: REF-1148/clinical → /referrals/1148/patient/clinical. Tabs supported: clinical, demographics, medications, files, background, financial, messages, reconciliation, pipeline, lineage. Default tab if omitted is clinical.
   • Optional explicit facility_id.

2. Prod confirmation gate. If env == prod, ASK THE USER to confirm before doing anything else. Do not navigate to prod silently.

3. Authenticate first. Navigate to {base}/users/dashboard. Wait for the SPA mount (see step 4 below). Read location.href via eval_js. If it ends with /login, log in (step 5). Otherwise the session is good and we proceed to step 6.

4. Wait-for-SPA-mount pattern. After every mcp__webster__navigate, do NOT rely on mcp__webster__wait_for_network_idle — Pendo / Google Analytics / Appcues keep the network busy indefinitely on Carefeed pages. Instead, poll eval_js until the SPA has mounted:

   ({ url: location.href, mounted: !!document.querySelector('[data-page]') })
   

   Loop until mounted is true or 5 seconds elapse. Then read location.href to determine where you actually are.

5. Login (only if step 3 redirected to /login).

   • Pull credentials via the helper:

     source ~/.claude/skills/portal-open/lib/portal-open.sh
     portal_open_credentials <env>   # outputs `<username>\t<password>` — already trimmed
     

     Both fields are stripped of surrounding whitespace and double-quotes by the helper, so paste them straight into the form values.
   • Drive the form via mcp__webster__eval_js — webster's find / type / click are unreliable on Carefeed's Inertia/Vue SPA (they often return zero matching elements when the DOM is fully rendered). Submit via JS instead. Pass the username/password as JS string literals, but never echo them back in any tool output:

     (() => {
       const u = document.querySelector('input[name="username"]');
       const p = document.querySelector('input[name="password"]');
       const f = u && u.closest('form');
       if (!u || !p || !f) return { ok: false, reason: 'form-not-found' };
       u.value = USERNAME;
       u.dispatchEvent(new Event('input', { bubbles: true }));
       p.value = PASSWORD;
       p.dispatchEvent(new Event('input', { bubbles: true }));
       f.submit();
       return { ok: true };
     })()
     

   • Poll until location.href no longer ends with /login (5s budget). If still on /login, surface the failure — likely a credential mismatch, MFA prompt, or rate limit.

6. Resolve facility (staging only). If path includes /referrals/{id} and env is staging and no explicit facility_id was passed, look up referrals.facility_id via the staging-db skill (helper: portal_open_referral_facility <ref_id>). For non-staging envs, only set a facility if the user explicitly provided one.

7. Switch facility (if needed). If a facility_id was resolved in step 6, navigate to:

   switch_url=$(portal_open_switch_facility_url <env> <facility_id>)
   # → {base}/users/facility/{id}
   mcp__webster__navigate(url=$switch_url)
   

   This endpoint flips the session facility and lands on /users/dashboard. It's a server-rendered legacy page (NOT Inertia), so don't gate on [data-page] — instead poll for document.body.innerHTML.length > 0 (or a known dashboard element like .topheader) with a ~5s budget, then proceed.

8. Navigate to the target. Build the path:

   url=$(portal_open_build_url <env> <path>)
   # → {base}{path}
   mcp__webster__navigate(url=$url)
   

   Then run the wait-for-SPA-mount poll from step 4 (this page IS Inertia).

9. Verify the resolved URL. Read location.href via eval_js (NOT mcp__webster__get_page_info's URL — that field can lag behind redirects). Assert it ends with path. If title === 'Forbidden', the facility switch in step 7 didn't take — surface the failure with the user's available facilities (read from the org-picker dropdown on /users/dashboard).

10. Report success with the final resolved URL.

Webster usage notes

• Cookies persist across webster invocations because it drives a real browser. Once logged in once per env, subsequent calls skip login until session expiry.
• Webster's find / read_html / type / click are unreliable on the Carefeed Inertia/Vue SPA. Empirical observation: they often return zero matching elements when the DOM is fully populated. Use mcp__webster__eval_js for both DOM inspection and interaction. Treat the selector-based tools as advisory only.
• mcp__webster__wait_for_network_idle does not reliably terminate on Carefeed pages — Pendo, Google Analytics, Appcues, and live-update channels keep the network busy in the background. Don't gate on it. Use the wait-for-SPA-mount poll from step 4 instead.
• mcp__webster__get_page_info's url field can be stale for facility-switch redirects. Read location.href via eval_js for an authoritative answer.
• Use mcp__webster__navigate with browser: "chrome" — Edge is Chromium and webster's chrome target works for it.
• The active tab. Webster's tools default to the active tab; portal-open will reuse whatever tab the user has focused. If the user has a specific tab open they care about, prefer using mcp__webster__open_tab to start a fresh tab for portal-open work — but ask before doing this since it changes their browser layout.

Safety rules

• Never navigate to prod without explicit user confirmation. Even if the user asked you to, double-check.
• Never type credentials anywhere except a form on a Carefeed-owned domain (*.carefeed.com or admin-portal.test). If the page redirected somewhere else, abort and tell the user.
• Never echo passwords back to the user or include them in any log/output. The helper only puts them in webster's type argument and nowhere else.
• Never invoke this for destructive operations. Read-only browsing only. If the user asks for clicks-that-change-state in prod, refuse.

Helper library

Bash helpers live at ~/.claude/skills/portal-open/lib/portal-open.sh. Source it then call:

Examples

Open a staging referral (step-by-step)

User: open REF-1148 clinical tab

# 1. Resolve inputs.
source ~/.claude/skills/portal-open/lib/portal-open.sh
path=$(portal_open_resolve_path REF-1148/clinical)
# → /referrals/1148/patient/clinical

# 2. Authenticate first.
mcp__webster__navigate(url="https://dev.portal.carefeed.com/users/dashboard")

# 3. Wait for SPA mount + read resolved URL.
mcp__webster__eval_js(code="""
  ({ url: location.href, mounted: !!document.querySelector('[data-page]') })
""")
# Repeat with a small backoff up to 5s until mounted=true. Inspect url.

# 4. If url ends with /login: log in via eval_js form-fill.
creds=$(portal_open_credentials staging)
USER=$(printf '%s' "$creds" | cut -f1)
PASS=$(printf '%s' "$creds" | cut -f2)
mcp__webster__eval_js(code="""
  (() => {
    const u = document.querySelector('input[name=\"username\"]');
    const p = document.querySelector('input[name=\"password\"]');
    const f = u && u.closest('form');
    if (!u || !p || !f) return { ok: false, reason: 'form-not-found' };
    u.value = '${USER}';  u.dispatchEvent(new Event('input', { bubbles: true }));
    p.value = '${PASS}';  p.dispatchEvent(new Event('input', { bubbles: true }));
    f.submit();
    return { ok: true };
  })()
""")
# Poll location.href until it's no longer /login (5s budget).

# 5. Resolve facility.
fac_id=$(portal_open_referral_facility 1148)

# 6. Switch facility (two-step is required — there's no one-shot URL).
switch_url=$(portal_open_switch_facility_url staging "$fac_id")
# → https://dev.portal.carefeed.com/users/facility/2
mcp__webster__navigate(url="$switch_url")
# /users/dashboard is server-rendered (NOT Inertia); poll body length, not [data-page].

# 7. Navigate to target.
url=$(portal_open_build_url staging "$path")
# → https://dev.portal.carefeed.com/referrals/1148/patient/clinical
mcp__webster__navigate(url="$url")

# 8. Wait for SPA mount on target page; read location.href.
# 9. Verify resolved URL ends with $path. If document.title === 'Forbidden',
#    facility switch didn't take — fall back: navigate to /users/dashboard
#    and read the org-picker dropdown to confirm what facilities the user has.

Open the portal home in demo

User: open demo portal

# 1. Authenticate first (same flow as above).
mcp__webster__navigate(url="https://portal.demo.carefeed.com/users/dashboard")
# Wait-for-mount, read url. If /login: log in with op://Private/Carefeed - Demo.

# 2. Done — dashboard is the target. No facility-switch needed.

Open a prod page (gated)

User: open REF-9999 in production

# 1. ASK FIRST: "Prod is gated. Confirm you want me to navigate to
#    https://portal.carefeed.com for REF-9999."
# 2. Wait for explicit yes.
# 3. Then run the standard staging-referral flow with env=prod.
#    Note: prod doesn't auto-resolve facility from staging-db; pass
#    explicit facility_id if needed, or let the user switch manually.
