Claude Cowork is Anthropic’s desktop agent. It can run shell commands and drive Chrome through its plugin, so it can do the parts a chat-only agent can’t — including loading the unpacked extension and flipping the Allow user scripts toggle.
Open Cowork on macOS or Windows, then paste:
Install Airglow on this machine.
Prerequisites — check first, install if missing:
- Chrome 138+ (current stable is fine).
- Node.js 20+.
- pnpm (use corepack or the package manager that matches my OS).
Then:
1. Clone https://github.com/airglow-inc/airglow-sdk into ~/airglow-sdk.
2. Open Chrome, go to chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode,
click Load unpacked, select ~/airglow-sdk/extension.
3. On the new Airglow card, click Details, then toggle on
"Allow user scripts" (Chrome 138+ requires this for chrome.userScripts).
4. From ~/airglow-sdk, run `pnpm install` and then `pnpm airglow dev`.
Keep the server running in a persistent terminal.
5. Open http://localhost:3001/api/apps/manifests and confirm it
returns JSON.
If anything fails, surface the error and stop — don't retry blindly.
When Airglow is ready, offer me my first app. Airglow apps are small
on purpose: one page, one action, one visible result. Ask whether I want
to (a) build a brand-new tiny app — I'll name a page and an action — or
(b) fork one of the existing showcases (hn-summary, gmail-calendar,
github-qa, linkedin-researcher, google-ads) and retarget it to a page I
care about. Then build it under airglow-apps/<id>/ using only the
airglow.* SDK (no direct chrome.*; server functions for secrets).
The Airglow icon is in Chrome’s extension list, user scripts are allowed on it, and pnpm airglow dev is serving manifests on http://localhost:3001.
