Sync cookies from local Chrome to a Browserbase persistent context so the browse CLI can access authenticated sites. Use when the user wants to browse as themselves, sync cookies, or log into sites via Browserbase.
Sync cookies from local Chrome to a Browserbase persistent context so the browse CLI can access authenticated sites. Use when the user wants to browse as themselves, sync cookies, or log into sites via Browserbase.
Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.
Exports cookies from your local Chrome and saves them into a Browserbase persistent context. After syncing, use the browse CLI to open authenticated sessions with that context.
Supports domain filtering (only sync cookies you need) and context reuse (refresh cookies without creating a new context).
chrome://flags/#allow-remote-debugging, enable it and restart the browser--remote-debugging-port=9222 --user-data-dir=/tmp/chrome-debug and set CDP_URL=ws://127.0.0.1:9222BROWSERBASE_API_KEYInstall dependencies before first use:
cd .claude/skills/cookie-sync && npm install
node .claude/skills/cookie-sync/scripts/cookie-sync.mjs
Creates a persistent context with all your Chrome cookies. Outputs a context ID.
node .claude/skills/cookie-sync/scripts/cookie-sync.mjs --domains google.com,github.com
Matches the domain and all subdomains (e.g. google.com matches accounts.google.com, mail.google.com, etc.)
node .claude/skills/cookie-sync/scripts/cookie-sync.mjs --context ctx_abc123
Re-injects fresh cookies into a previously created context. Use this when cookies have expired.
node .claude/skills/cookie-sync/scripts/cookie-sync.mjs --verified
Enables Browserbase Identity with a Verified browser to improve access on protected sites. Recommended for sites like Google that fingerprint browsers.
node .claude/skills/cookie-sync/scripts/cookie-sync.mjs --proxy "San Francisco,CA,US"
Routes through a residential proxy in the specified location. Format: "City,ST,Country" (state is 2-letter code). Helps match your local IP's geolocation so auth cookies aren't rejected.
node .claude/skills/cookie-sync/scripts/cookie-sync.mjs --domains github.com,google.com --verified --proxy "San Francisco,CA,US"
After syncing, use the browse CLI with the context ID:
SESSION_JSON="$(browse cloud sessions create --context-id <ctx-id> --persist --keep-alive)"
SESSION_ID="$(echo "$SESSION_JSON" | jq -r .id)"
CONNECT_URL="$(echo "$SESSION_JSON" | jq -r .connectUrl)"
browse open https://mail.google.com --cdp "$CONNECT_URL"
The --persist flag on browse cloud sessions create saves any new cookies or state changes back to the context when the cloud session is released, keeping the session fresh for next time.
Full workflow example:
# Step 1: Sync cookies for Twitter
node .claude/skills/cookie-sync/scripts/cookie-sync.mjs --domains x.com,twitter.com
# Output: Context ID: ctx_abc123
# Step 2: Browse authenticated Twitter
SESSION_JSON="$(browse cloud sessions create --context-id ctx_abc123 --persist --keep-alive)"
SESSION_ID="$(echo "$SESSION_JSON" | jq -r .id)"
CONNECT_URL="$(echo "$SESSION_JSON" | jq -r .connectUrl)"
browse open https://x.com/messages --cdp "$CONNECT_URL"
browse snapshot
browse screenshot
browse stop
browse cloud sessions update "$SESSION_ID" --status REQUEST_RELEASE
Contexts persist across sessions, making them ideal for scheduled/recurring tasks:

--- name: cookie-sync description: Sync cookies from local Chrome to a Browserbase persistent context so the browse CLI can access authenticated sites. Use when the user wants to browse as themselves, sync cookies, or log into sites via Browserbase. compatibility: "Requires Node.js 22+, a local Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Brave, Edge) with remote debugging enabled, and BROWSERBASE_API_KEY. Run `npm install` in the skill directory before first use." license: MIT allowed-tools: Bash --- # Cookie Sync — Local Chrome → Browserbase Context Exports cookies from your local Chrome and saves them into a Browserbase **persistent context**. After syncing, use the `browse` CLI to open authenticated sessions with that context. Supports **domain filtering** (only sync cookies you need) and **context reuse** (refresh cookies without creating a new context). ## Prerequisites - Chrome (or Chromium, Brave, Edge) with remote debugging enabled - If your browser build exposes `chrome://flags/#allow-remote-debugging`, enable it and restart the browser - Otherwise, launch with `--remote-debugging-port=9222 --user-data-dir=/tmp/chrome-debug` and set `CDP_URL=ws://127.0.0.1:9222` - At least one tab open in Chrome - Node.js 22+ - Environment variable: `BROWSERBASE_API_KEY` ## Setup Install dependencies before first use: ```bash cd .claude/skills/cookie-sync && npm install ``` ## Usage ### Basic — sync all cookies ```bash node .claude/skills/cookie-sync/scripts/cookie-sync.mjs ``` Creates a persistent context with all your Chrome cookies. Outputs a context ID. ### Filter by domain — only sync specific sites ```bash node .claude/skills/cookie-sync/scripts/cookie-sync.mjs --domains google.com,github.com ``` Matches the domain and all subdomains (e.g. `google.com` matches `accounts.google.com`, `mail.google.com`, etc.) ### Refresh cookies in an existing context ```bash node .claude/skills/cookie-sync/scripts/cookie-sync.mjs --context ctx_abc123 ``` Re-injects fresh cookies into a previously created context. Use this when cookies have expired. ### Verified browser mode ```bash node .claude/skills/cookie-sync/scripts/cookie-sync.mjs --verified ``` Enables Browserbase Identity with a Verified browser to improve access on protected sites. Recommended for sites like Google that fingerprint browsers. ### Residential proxy with geolocation ```bash node .claude/skills/cookie-sync/scripts/cookie-sync.mjs --proxy "San Francisco,CA,US" ``` Routes through a residential proxy in the specified location. Format: `"City,ST,Country"` (state is 2-letter code). Helps match your local IP's geolocation so auth cookies aren't rejected. ### Combine flags ```bash node .claude/skills/cookie-sync/scripts/cookie-sync.mjs --domains github.com,google.com --verified --proxy "San Francisco,CA,US" ``` ## Browsing Authenticated Sites After syncing, use the `browse` CLI with the context ID: ```bash SESSION_JSON="$(browse cloud sessions create --context-id <ctx-id> --persist --keep-alive)" SESSION_ID="$(echo "$SESSION_JSON" | jq -r .id)" CONNECT_URL="$(echo "$SESSION_JSON" | jq -r .connectUrl)" browse open https://mail.google.com --cdp "$CONNECT_URL" ``` The `--persist` flag on `browse cloud sessions create` saves any new cookies or state changes back to the context when the cloud session is released, keeping the session fresh for next time. **Full workflow example:** ```bash # Step 1: Sync cookies for Twitter node .claude/skills/cookie-sync/scripts/cookie-sync.mjs --domains x.com,twitter.com # Output: Context ID: ctx_abc123 # Step 2: Browse authenticated Twitter SESSION_JSON="$(browse cloud sessions create --context-id ctx_abc123 --persist --keep-alive)" SESSION_ID="$(echo "$SESSION_JSON" | jq -r .id)" CONNECT_URL="$(echo "$SESSION_JSON" | jq -r .connectUrl)" browse open https://x.com/messages --cdp "$CONNECT_URL" browse snapshot browse screenshot browse stop browse cloud sessions update "$SESSION_ID" --status REQUEST_RELEASE ``` ## Reusing Contexts for Scheduled Jobs Contexts persist across sessions, making them ideal for scheduled/recurring tasks: 1. **Once (laptop open):** Run cookie-sync → get a context ID 2. **Scheduled jobs:** Create a Browserbase session with `browse cloud sessions create --context-id <ctx-id> --persist --keep-alive`, then attach with `browse open <url> --cdp <connectUrl>` — no local Chrome needed 3. **Re-sync as needed:** When cookies expire, run cookie-sync again with `--context <ctx-id>` to refresh ## Troubleshooting - **"No DevToolsActivePort found"** → Enable `chrome://flags/#allow-remote-debugging` if your browser build exposes it, or launch with `--remote-debugging-port=9222` and set `CDP_URL=ws://127.0.0.1:9222` - **"No open page targets found"** → Open at least one tab in Chrome - **"WebSocket error"** → Chrome may be hung; force quit and reopen it - **Cookies expired in context** → Re-run cookie-sync with `--context <id>` to refresh - **Auth rejected by site** → Try adding `--verified` and/or `--proxy` with a location near you
Skill source recorded
Skill instructions are recorded. This is not a runtime test, safety guarantee or compatibility certification.
Review before install: Avoid automatic install
Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.
Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
Repository metadata and review signals are advisory. Popularity, source discovery and successful execution are different facts.
Version reported in registry metadata; check source releases before relying on it.
