Google AI Mode Search

Perform Google AI Mode searches using your local Google cookies to get live sports scores, stock prices, news, weather, and AI summaries.

Security Scan

The skill does what it claims (uses Chrome CDP or exported Google cookies to query Google), but it has several intrusive and under-documented behaviors (killing Chrome, no dependency declarations, direct access to sensitive cookies/Chrome debug port) that you should understand before installing.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description match the implementation: the CLI either connects to a local Chrome DevTools Protocol endpoint or loads an exported cookies.json to make Google search requests. No unrelated credentials or network endpoints are requested.

Instruction Scope

The provided start-chrome-cdp.sh script force-kills all running 'Google Chrome' processes (pkill -9) before launching Chrome with a debug port — that is intrusive and not clearly warned in SKILL.md. Connecting to Chrome CDP gives the tool programmatic access to your browser (open pages, sessions) which is more powerful than a simple search; the SKILL.md does not fully disclose these implications.

Install Mechanism

This is instruction-only (no installer downloads), so nothing is pulled from remote hosts. However, the skill depends on Python, curl, and the Playwright Python library at runtime but does not declare or install these dependencies in SKILL.md — users may be surprised by missing requirements.

Credentials

The tool reads an exported cookies file (~/.config/gaimode/cookies.json) or connects to your running Chrome session — both grant access to sensitive Google session cookies and possibly browsing context. Requesting those cookies is functionally necessary for personalized results, but it is high-sensitivity data and the skill does not clearly warn about the risk of exposing active session cookies.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request 'always' or other elevated platform privileges. It does include a launcher script that forcibly kills Chrome processes (temporary, not persistent), which can disrupt the user environment but does not modify other skills or system-wide configs.

What to consider before installing

This skill will either connect to your running Chrome via the DevTools debug port or read a file of exported Google cookies — both approaches give it access to your Google sessions and browsing context. Before installing or running it: (1) review the included scripts (start-chrome-cdp.sh and gaimode-cli.py) in a safe environment; (2) be aware start-chrome-cdp.sh will kill all running Chrome processes (you will lose open tabs/work), so do not run it while you have unsaved work; (3) avoid exporting full account cookies from your primary profile — if you must test, use a throwaway account or a dedicated Chrome profile and export only what you need; (4) install Python and Playwright in an isolated virtualenv or container, since dependencies are not declared; (5) prefer CDP mode only if you trust the code (CDP grants broad browser control); and (6) if you are uncomfortable with these risks, do not install — consider using official Google services or an API-based alternative that does not require private cookies.
