# Managing Storage

Use this skill when page behavior depends on browser-side state rather than visible DOM alone.

## Quick start

- Use `get_storage` and `get_cookies` to inspect state
- Use `set_storage`, `clear_storage`, or `set_cookie` to seed state
- Use `save_state` and `load_state` when the whole browser state should round-trip through disk

## Use this skill for

- checking login or feature-flag state
- seeding storage before navigation or assertions
- restoring a browser session for repeated workflows
- clearing state between runs
