--- name: setup-browser-cookies preamble-tier: 1 version: 1.0.0 description: Import cookies from your real Chromium browser into the headless browse session. (gstack) triggers: - import browser cookies - login to test site - setup authenticated session allowed-tools: - Bash - Read - AskUserQuestion --- ## When to invoke this skill Opens an interactive picker UI where you select which cookie domains to import. Use before QA testing authenticated pages. Use when asked to "import cookies", "login to the site", or "authenticate the browser". ## Preamble (run first) ```bash _SS="$HOME/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-skill-start" [ -x "$_SS" ] || _SS=".claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-skill-start" "$_SS" --skill "setup-browser-cookies" --model "claude" --parent-pid "$PPID" \ || echo "SKILL_START: unavailable — stale install; run ./setup or /gstack-upgrade (preamble degraded, continue the user's task)" ``` Read the echoed `KEY: value` STATUS lines — they drive every preamble rule below. **Degraded mode:** if `SKILL_START_PROTO: 1` is missing from the output (script absent, stale install, or a different protocol number), apply safe defaults: treat `SESSION_KIND` as `interactive`, do NOT assume Conductor, skip onboarding/telemetry steps (their gates are marker-based, so consent and onboarding prompts are DEFERRED to the next healthy run — never lost), tell the user to run `./setup` or `/gstack-upgrade`, and proceed with their task. Note `SESSION_ID` and `TEL_START` from the output — the Telemetry step needs them at skill end. ## Plan Mode Safe Operations In plan mode, allowed because they inform the plan: `$B`, `$D`, `codex exec`/`codex review`, writes to `~/.gstack/`, writes to the plan file, and `open` for generated artifacts. ## Skill Invocation During Plan Mode If the user invokes a skill in plan mode, the skill takes precedence over generic plan mode behavior. **Treat the skill file as executable instructions, not reference.** Follow it step by step starting from Step 0; any AskUserQuestion the skill fires is the workflow operating within plan mode, not a violation of it — and a skill whose instructions resolve a question themselves (e.g. a plan-mode auto-select) may legitimately not ask it. AskUserQuestion (any variant — `mcp__*__AskUserQuestion` or native; see "AskUserQuestion Format → Tool resolution") satisfies plan mode's end-of-turn requirement. If AskUserQuestion is unavailable or a call fails, follow the AskUserQuestion Format failure fallback: `headless` → BLOCKED; `interactive` → the prose fallback (also satisfies end-of-turn). At a STOP point, stop immediately. Do not continue the workflow or call ExitPlanMode there. Commands marked "PLAN MODE EXCEPTION — ALWAYS RUN" execute. Call ExitPlanMode only after the skill workflow completes, or if the user tells you to cancel the skill or leave plan mode. If `PROACTIVE` is `"false"`, do not auto-invoke or proactively suggest skills. If a skill seems useful, ask: "I think /skillname might help here — want me to run it?" If `SKILL_PREFIX` is `"true"`, suggest/invoke `/gstack-*` names. Disk paths stay `~/.claude/skills/gstack/[skill-name]/SKILL.md`. If `UPDATE_CHECK` is `"false"`, skip the next two lines — the update-check binary emits nothing in that mode, so there is no `UPGRADE_AVAILABLE` / `JUST_UPGRADED` output to act on. If output shows `UPGRADE_AVAILABLE `: read `~/.claude/skills/gstack/gstack-upgrade/SKILL.md` and follow the "Inline upgrade flow" (auto-upgrade if configured, otherwise AskUserQuestion with 4 options, write snooze state if declined). If output shows `JUST_UPGRADED `: print "Running gstack v{to} (just updated!)". If `SPAWNED_SESSION` is true, skip feature discovery. Feature discovery, max one prompt per session: - Missing `~/.claude/skills/gstack/.feature-prompted-continuous-checkpoint`: AskUserQuestion for Continuous checkpoint auto-commits. If accepted, run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set checkpoint_mode continuous`. Always touch marker. - Missing `~/.claude/skills/gstack/.feature-prompted-model-overlay`: inform "Model overlays are active. MODEL_OVERLAY shows the patch." Always touch marker. After upgrade prompts, continue workflow. If `WRITING_STYLE_PENDING` is `yes`: ask once about writing style: > v1 prompts are simpler: first-use jargon glosses, outcome-framed questions, shorter prose. Keep default or restore terse? Options: - A) Keep the new default (recommended — good writing helps everyone) - B) Restore V0 prose — set `explain_level: terse` If A: leave `explain_level` unset (defaults to `default`). If B: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set explain_level terse`. Always run (regardless of choice): ```bash rm -f ~/.gstack/.writing-style-prompt-pending touch ~/.gstack/.writing-style-prompted ``` Skip if `WRITING_STYLE_PENDING` is `no`. If `LAKE_INTRO` is `no`: say "gstack follows the **Boil the Ocean** principle — do the complete thing when AI makes marginal cost near-zero. Read more: https://garryslist.org/posts/boil-the-ocean" Offer to open: ```bash open https://garryslist.org/posts/boil-the-ocean touch ~/.gstack/.completeness-intro-seen ``` Only run `open` if yes. Always run `touch`. If `TEL_PROMPTED` is `no` AND `LAKE_INTRO` is `yes`: ask telemetry once via AskUserQuestion: > Help gstack get better. Share usage data only: skill, duration, crashes, stable device ID. No code or file paths. Your repo name is recorded locally only and stripped before any upload. Options: - A) Help gstack get better! (recommended) - B) No thanks If A: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set telemetry community` If B: ask follow-up: > Anonymous mode sends only aggregate usage, no unique ID. Options: - A) Sure, anonymous is fine - B) No thanks, fully off If B→A: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set telemetry anonymous` If B→B: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set telemetry off` Always run: ```bash touch ~/.gstack/.telemetry-prompted ``` Skip if `TEL_PROMPTED` is `yes`. If `PROACTIVE_PROMPTED` is `no` AND `TEL_PROMPTED` is `yes`: ask once: > Let gstack proactively suggest skills, like /qa for "does this work?" or /investigate for bugs? Options: - A) Keep it on (recommended) - B) Turn it off — I'll type /commands myself If A: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set proactive true` If B: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set proactive false` Always run: ```bash touch ~/.gstack/.proactive-prompted ``` Skip if `PROACTIVE_PROMPTED` is `yes`. ## First-run guidance (one-time) If `ACTIVATED` is `no` (first skill run on this machine) AND the preamble printed a non-empty `FIRST_TASK:` value that is NOT `nongit`: show ONE short, project-specific line mapped from the token, as a heads-up, then CONTINUE with whatever the user actually asked — do NOT halt their task. Map the token: `greenfield` → "Fresh repo — shape it first with `/spec` or `/office-hours`." `code_node`/`code_python`/`code_rust`/`code_go`/`code_ruby`/`code_ios` → "There's code here — `/qa` to see it work, or `/investigate` if something's off." `branch_ahead` → "Unshipped work on this branch — `/review` then `/ship`." `dirty_default` → "Uncommitted changes — `/review` before committing." `clean_default` → "Pick one: `/spec`, `/investigate`, or `/qa`." Then substitute the token you saw for TASK_TOKEN and run (best-effort), and mark activated: ```bash ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-telemetry-log --event-type first_task_scaffold_shown --skill "TASK_TOKEN" --outcome shown 2>/dev/null || true touch ~/.gstack/.activated 2>/dev/null || true ``` If `ACTIVATED` is `no` but `FIRST_TASK:` is empty or `nongit` (headless, non-git, or nothing actionable): show nothing, just run `touch ~/.gstack/.activated 2>/dev/null || true`. Else if `ACTIVATED` is `yes` AND `FIRST_LOOP_SHOWN` is `no`: say once as a heads-up (then continue): > Tip: gstack pays off when you complete one loop — **plan → review → ship**. A common first loop: `/office-hours` or `/spec` to shape it, `/plan-eng-review` to lock it, then `/ship`. Then run `touch ~/.gstack/.first-loop-tip-shown 2>/dev/null || true`. Skip this section if `ACTIVATED` and `FIRST_LOOP_SHOWN` are both `yes`. If `HAS_ROUTING` is `no` AND `ROUTING_DECLINED` is `false` AND `PROACTIVE_PROMPTED` is `yes`: Check if a CLAUDE.md file exists in the project root. If it does not exist, create it. Use AskUserQuestion: > gstack works best when your project's CLAUDE.md includes skill routing rules. Options: - A) Add routing rules to CLAUDE.md (recommended) - B) No thanks, I'll invoke skills manually If A: Append this section to the end of CLAUDE.md: ```markdown ## Skill routing When the user's request matches an available skill, invoke it via the Skill tool. When in doubt, invoke the skill. Key routing rules: - Product ideas/brainstorming → invoke /office-hours - Strategy/scope → invoke /plan-ceo-review - Architecture → invoke /plan-eng-review - Design system/plan review → invoke /design-consultation or /plan-design-review - Full review pipeline → invoke /autoplan - Bugs/errors → invoke /investigate - QA/testing site behavior → invoke /qa or /qa-only - Code review/diff check → invoke /review - Visual polish → invoke /design-review - Ship/deploy/PR → invoke /ship or /land-and-deploy - Save progress → invoke /context-save - Resume context → invoke /context-restore - Author a backlog-ready spec/issue → invoke /spec ``` Then commit the change: `git add CLAUDE.md && git commit -m "chore: add gstack skill routing rules to CLAUDE.md"` If B: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set routing_declined true` and say they can re-enable with `gstack-config set routing_declined false`. This only happens once per project. Skip if `HAS_ROUTING` is `yes` or `ROUTING_DECLINED` is `true`. If `VENDORED_GSTACK` is `yes`, warn once via AskUserQuestion unless `~/.gstack/.vendoring-warned-$SLUG` exists: > This project has gstack vendored in `.claude/skills/gstack/`. Vendoring is deprecated. > Migrate to team mode? Options: - A) Yes, migrate to team mode now - B) No, I'll handle it myself If A: 1. Run `git rm -r .claude/skills/gstack/` 2. Run `echo '.claude/skills/gstack/' >> .gitignore` 3. Run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-team-init required` (or `optional`) 4. Run `git add .claude/ .gitignore CLAUDE.md && git commit -m "chore: migrate gstack from vendored to team mode"` 5. Tell the user: "Done. Each developer now runs: `cd ~/.claude/skills/gstack && ./setup --team`" If B: say "OK, you're on your own to keep the vendored copy up to date." Always run (regardless of choice): ```bash eval "$(~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-slug 2>/dev/null)" 2>/dev/null || true touch ~/.gstack/.vendoring-warned-${SLUG:-unknown} ``` If marker exists, skip. If `SPAWNED_SESSION` is `"true"`, you are running inside a session spawned by an AI orchestrator (e.g., OpenClaw). In spawned sessions: - Do NOT use AskUserQuestion for interactive prompts. Auto-choose the recommended option. - Do NOT run upgrade checks, telemetry prompts, routing injection, or lake intro. - Focus on completing the task and reporting results via prose output. - End with a completion report: what shipped, decisions made, anything uncertain. ## Artifacts Sync (skill start) The skill-start output above already ran artifacts sync. Act on its lines: GBrain hint text (if present) tells you when to prefer `gbrain` over Grep; `ARTIFACTS_SYNC:` reports sync health (`off`, `mode=... | queue=N`, `remote-mode`, or a restore hint naming `gstack-brain-restore`). Privacy stop-gate: if output shows `ARTIFACTS_SYNC: off`, `artifacts_sync_mode_prompted` is `false`, and gbrain is on PATH or `gbrain doctor --fast --json` works, ask once: > gstack can publish your artifacts (CEO plans, designs, reports) to a private GitHub repo that GBrain indexes across machines. How much should sync? Options: - A) Everything allowlisted (recommended) - B) Only artifacts - C) Decline, keep everything local After answer: ```bash # Chosen mode: full | artifacts-only | off ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set artifacts_sync_mode ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set artifacts_sync_mode_prompted true ``` If A/B and `~/.gstack/.git` is missing, ask whether to run `gstack-artifacts-init`. Do not block the skill. ## Model-Specific Behavioral Patch (claude) The following nudges are tuned for the claude model family. They are **subordinate** to skill workflow, STOP points, AskUserQuestion gates, plan-mode safety, and /ship review gates. If a nudge below conflicts with skill instructions, the skill wins. Treat these as preferences, not rules. **Todo-list discipline.** When working through a multi-step plan, mark each task complete individually as you finish it. Do not batch-complete at the end. If a task turns out to be unnecessary, mark it skipped with a one-line reason. **Think before heavy actions.** For complex operations (refactors, migrations, non-trivial new features), briefly state your approach before executing. This lets the user course-correct cheaply instead of mid-flight. **Dedicated tools over Bash.** Prefer Read, Edit, Write, Glob, Grep over shell equivalents (cat, sed, find, grep). The dedicated tools are cheaper and clearer. ## Voice Direct, concrete, builder-to-builder. Name the file, function, command, and user-visible impact. No filler. No em dashes. No AI vocabulary: delve, crucial, robust, comprehensive, nuanced, multifaceted. Never corporate or academic. Short paragraphs. End with what to do. The user has context you do not. Cross-model agreement is a recommendation, not a decision. The user decides. ## Completion Status Protocol When completing a skill workflow, report status using one of: - **DONE** — completed with evidence. - **DONE_WITH_CONCERNS** — completed, but list concerns. - **BLOCKED** — cannot proceed; state blocker and what was tried. - **NEEDS_CONTEXT** — missing info; state exactly what is needed. Escalate after 3 failed attempts, uncertain security-sensitive changes, or scope you cannot verify. Format: `STATUS`, `REASON`, `ATTEMPTED`, `RECOMMENDATION`. ## Operational Self-Improvement Before completing, review the session for durable learnings and log each one — this step ALWAYS runs, it is not conditional on something feeling noteworthy (#2402: 43 of 44 learnings came from explicit /learn because "if you discovered" read as optional). A durable learning is a project quirk, command fix, pitfall, or pattern that would save 5+ minutes in a future session. If the review genuinely surfaces none, state "No durable learnings this session" in your completion summary — an explicit empty result, not a skipped step. ```bash ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-learnings-log '{"skill":"SKILL_NAME","type":"operational","key":"SHORT_KEY","insight":"DESCRIPTION","confidence":N,"source":"observed"}' ``` Do not log obvious facts or one-time transient errors. ## Telemetry (run last) After workflow completion, log telemetry with ONE command. OUTCOME is success/error/abort/unknown; `SESSION_ID` and `TEL_START` are the values the preamble's skill-start output echoed. It also drains the artifacts-sync queue (the former skill-end sync step — do not run gstack-brain-sync separately). **PLAN MODE EXCEPTION — ALWAYS RUN:** This writes telemetry to `~/.gstack/analytics/`, matching preamble analytics writes. ```bash ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-skill-end --skill "setup-browser-cookies" --outcome OUTCOME \ --session-id "SESSION_ID" --tel-start "TEL_START" --used-browse USED_BROWSE \ --error-message "ERROR_MESSAGE" --failed-step "FAILED_STEP" 2>/dev/null || true ``` Replace `OUTCOME` and `USED_BROWSE` (yes/no) before running; substitute `SESSION_ID`/`TEL_START` from the skill-start echoes. `ERROR_MESSAGE`/`FAILED_STEP` are "" unless outcome is error. If the command is missing (stale install), skip telemetry — it never blocks the workflow. ## Plan Status Footer Skills that run plan reviews (`/plan-*-review`, `/codex review`) include the EXIT PLAN MODE GATE blocking checklist at the end of the skill, which verifies the plan file ends with `## GSTACK REVIEW REPORT` before ExitPlanMode is called. Skills that don't run plan reviews (operational skills like `/ship`, `/qa`, `/review`) typically don't operate in plan mode and have no review report to verify; this footer is a no-op for them. Writing the plan file is the one edit allowed in plan mode. # Setup Browser Cookies Import logged-in sessions from your real Chromium browser into the headless browse session. ## CDP mode check First, check if browse is already connected to the user's real browser: ```bash $B status 2>/dev/null | grep -q "Mode: cdp" && echo "CDP_MODE=true" || echo "CDP_MODE=false" ``` If `CDP_MODE=true`: tell the user "Not needed — you're connected to your real browser via CDP. Your cookies and sessions are already available." and stop. No cookie import needed. ## How it works 1. Find the browse binary 2. Run `cookie-import-browser` to detect installed browsers and open the picker UI 3. User selects which cookie domains to import in their browser 4. Cookies are decrypted and loaded into the Playwright session ## Steps ### 1. Find the browse binary ## SETUP (run this check BEFORE any browse command) ```bash _ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null) B="" [ -n "$_ROOT" ] && [ -x "$_ROOT/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse" ] && B="$_ROOT/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse" [ -z "$B" ] && B="$HOME/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse" if [ -x "$B" ]; then echo "READY: $B" else echo "NEEDS_SETUP" fi ``` If `NEEDS_SETUP`: 1. Tell the user: "gstack browse needs a one-time build (~10 seconds). OK to proceed?" Then STOP and wait. 2. Run: `cd && ./setup` 3. If `bun` is not installed: ```bash if ! command -v bun >/dev/null 2>&1; then BUN_VERSION="1.3.10" BUN_INSTALL_SHA="bab8acfb046aac8c72407bdcce903957665d655d7acaa3e11c7c4616beae68dd" tmpfile=$(mktemp) curl -fsSL "https://bun.sh/install" -o "$tmpfile" actual_sha=$(shasum -a 256 "$tmpfile" | awk '{print $1}') if [ "$actual_sha" != "$BUN_INSTALL_SHA" ]; then echo "ERROR: bun install script checksum mismatch" >&2 echo " expected: $BUN_INSTALL_SHA" >&2 echo " got: $actual_sha" >&2 rm "$tmpfile"; exit 1 fi BUN_VERSION="$BUN_VERSION" bash "$tmpfile" rm "$tmpfile" fi ``` ### 2. Open the cookie picker ```bash $B cookie-import-browser ``` This auto-detects installed Chromium browsers 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: ```bash $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: ```bash $B cookies ``` Show the user a summary of imported cookies (domain counts). ## Notes - On macOS, the first import per browser may trigger a Keychain dialog — click "Allow" / "Always Allow" - On Linux, `v11` cookies may require `secret-tool`/libsecret access; `v10` cookies use Chromium's standard fallback key - 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
