Setup Browser Cookies

Runtime Notes

• Ask the user directly when the workflow says to stop for input.
• Treat AGENTS.md, TODO.md, and TODOS.md as the likely sources of repo-local instructions.
• Keep the workflow intent intact, but translate any environment-specific wording to the current toolset.

Setup Browser Cookies

Import logged-in sessions from your real Chromium browser into the headless browse session.

How it works

1. Find the browse binary
2. Run cookie-import-browser to detect installed browsers and open the picker UI
3. User selects which cookie domains to import in their browser
4. Cookies are decrypted and loaded into the Playwright session

Steps

1. Find the browse binary

B=$(browse/bin/find-browse 2>/dev/null || ~/.codex/skills/gstack/browse/bin/find-browse 2>/dev/null)
if [ -n "$B" ]; then
  echo "READY: $B"
else
  echo "NEEDS_SETUP"
fi

If NEEDS_SETUP:

1. Tell the user: "gstack browse needs a one-time build (~10 seconds). OK to proceed?" Then STOP and wait.
2. Run: cd <SKILL_DIR> && ./setup
3. If bun is not installed: curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

2. Open the cookie picker

$B cookie-import-browser

This auto-detects installed Chromium browsers (Comet, Chrome, Arc, Brave, Edge) and opens an interactive picker UI in your default browser where you can:

• Switch between installed browsers
• Search domains
• Click "+" to import a domain's cookies
• Click trash to remove imported cookies

Tell the user: "Cookie picker opened — select the domains you want to import in your browser, then tell me when you're done."

3. Direct import (alternative)

If the user specifies a domain directly (e.g., setup-browser-cookies github.com), skip the UI:

$B cookie-import-browser comet --domain github.com

Replace comet with the appropriate browser if specified.

4. Verify

After the user confirms they're done:

$B cookies

Show the user a summary of imported cookies (domain counts).

Notes

• First import per browser may trigger a macOS Keychain dialog — click "Allow" / "Always Allow"
• Cookie picker is served on the same port as the browse server (no extra process)
• Only domain names and cookie counts are shown in the UI — no cookie values are exposed
• The browse session persists cookies between commands, so imported cookies work immediately
