Browser Login
Authenticate against a target site once, then vault the resulting session credentials so subsequent skills (browser-extract, browser-form-fill, browser-test) can reuse them without re-driving the auth flow. Borrows the pattern from Browserbase's cookie-sync/SKILL.md but stores the resulting context in AgentDB rather than on a hosted backend.
When to use
- Establishing reusable auth for a host the agent will visit repeatedly.
- Refreshing a vaulted cookie set whose expiry has passed.
- Capturing an MFA-protected session that requires interactive completion.
Steps
- Open a recorded session via
browser-record. - Drive the auth flow — fill credentials with
browser_fill/browser_type. Credentials come from the user or environment; do not read them from.envor paste them into the trajectory args. - Handle MFA (when
--mfa): pause for user input or invoke the user's TOTP helper; capture only the resulting redirect, not the code itself. - Capture cookies via
browser_eval:
Or use the Playwright context API where exposed.document.cookie // returns the cookie string for the active document - AIDefence sanitize:
Tokens that look raw get vault-wrapped (an opaque handle) before AgentDB store; raw values never enter the namespace.# Each cookie value passes aidefence_scan to flag raw secrets / high-entropy tokens. - Store in
browser-cookies:npx -y @claude-flow/cli@latest memory store --namespace browser-cookies \ --key "<host>" \ --value "{vault_handle:<opaque>, expiry:<iso>, aidefence_verdict:safe}" - Return the vault handle so downstream skills can mount it via the planned
browser_cookie_useMCP tool.
Caveats
- Never log raw cookie values, tokens, or passwords. The trajectory step for the auth POST records only the form field names and a
<redacted>placeholder for values. - The
browser_cookie_useMCP tool is reserved (ADR-0001 §7) but not yet implemented. Until then, downstream skills mount the vaulted cookies via a helper bash function inscripts/(TBD). - Some sites bind cookies to a UA fingerprint; if a vaulted cookie fails on reuse, re-run
browser-login. Do not attempt to fingerprint-match yourself. - This skill is not a credential storage solution. The vault-handle pattern protects against AgentDB leaks, not against compromise of the agent's environment.
