# Overleaf Skills Setup

Walk the user through pasting a fresh `overleaf_session2` cookie into `~/.claude/overleaf-skills/cookie`. Cookies slide ~5 days idle; users will hit this every few days.

## Step 1: Status check

Check if `~/.claude/overleaf-skills/cookie` already exists. If yes, run:

```bash
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/overleaf_reviews.py --check-auth
```

- If `OK <email>`: tell user "Already configured, logged in as <email>". Ask via AskUserQuestion whether to refresh or keep.
- If `FAIL`: tell user the stored cookie is expired and continue to Step 2.

## Step 2: Show browser guide

Tell the user to grab the cookie from their browser. Give all three branches; pick none for them:

**Chrome / Edge / Brave / Arc:** `Cmd+Option+I` (mac) or `F12` → **Application** tab → **Storage → Cookies → https://www.overleaf.com** → row where Name = `overleaf_session2` → double-click Value cell → `Cmd+A` → `Cmd+C`.

**Firefox:** `F12` → **Storage** tab (enable in DevTools settings if hidden) → **Cookies → https://www.overleaf.com** → click `overleaf_session2` row → right-click → **Copy Value**.

**Safari:** Enable Develop menu (**Settings → Advanced → Show features for web developers**), then `Cmd+Option+I` → **Storage** → **Cookies → www.overleaf.com** → click `overleaf_session2` row → copy from right-hand detail pane.

Add three warnings at the bottom:

1. The row name is `overleaf_session2` (UNDERSCORE). A row named `overleaf.session2` (DOT) is a stale legacy cookie that will not authenticate.
2. The cookie is `HttpOnly` — `document.cookie` in the JS console returns empty for it. The storage panel is the only path.
3. The value should start with `s%3A` and be ~80+ chars. If it starts with `s%3Ac%3A1%3A`, you're logged out — log into overleaf.com and re-grab.

## Step 3: Capture

Use AskUserQuestion: "Do you have your `overleaf_session2` cookie value ready?" with options "Yes, paste it now" and "Skip for now". The user pastes via the "Other" free-text field.

## Step 4: Validate

Normalize the input: strip whitespace; if it does NOT start with `overleaf_session2=`, prepend it (accept bare value).

Reject (re-prompt with reason):

- Starts with `overleaf.session2=` → "Overleaf renamed this cookie to `overleaf_session2` (underscore). Re-grab the underscore row."
- Value (after the `=`) starts with `s%3Ac%3A1%3A` → "That's an anonymous-visitor cookie. Log into overleaf.com first, then re-grab."
- Value does not start with `s%3A` after the `=` → "Doesn't look like an Overleaf session cookie. Confirm you copied from the `overleaf_session2` row on www.overleaf.com."
- Total length under 80 chars → "Cookie looks truncated. Re-copy with `Cmd+A` inside the Value cell."
- Contains newlines or quotes → "Strip the surrounding quotes/newlines."

## Step 5: Write

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.claude/overleaf-skills
[ -f ~/.claude/overleaf-skills/cookie ] && cp ~/.claude/overleaf-skills/cookie ~/.claude/overleaf-skills/cookie.backup
# Write the normalized value (one line, no trailing newline beyond what's natural)
printf '%s\n' "<normalized-cookie>" > ~/.claude/overleaf-skills/cookie
chmod 600 ~/.claude/overleaf-skills/cookie
```

## Step 6: Verify

```bash
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/overleaf_reviews.py --check-auth
```

- If `OK <email>`: report "Configured. Logged in as <email>." Done.
- If `FAIL`: restore from `cookie.backup` if it exists (`mv ~/.claude/overleaf-skills/cookie.backup ~/.claude/overleaf-skills/cookie`), tell user the new cookie did not authenticate, loop back to Step 2.
