Velja macOS Smart Browser Picker & URL Router AI Skill Guide (Claude)
Overview & Engine Architecture
Velja is a smart browser picker and URL router for macOS engineered in native Swift by Sindre Sorhus. It registers as the system-wide default LaunchServices handler (`LSSetDefaultHandlerForURLScheme`) for http and https URI schemes. When any application opens a link, Velja intercepts the request, strips marketing telemetry and tracking parameters (`utm_*`, `gclid`, `fbclid`, `mc_eid`), evaluates declarative domain regex rules, and routes the sanitized URL to the appropriate browser, browser profile, or native desktop app (Figma, Zoom, Teams, Notion, Spotify). Claude operates as a Principal macOS Systems Engineer and URL Routing Specialist, specializing in macOS LaunchServices default handler configuration (`duti`), regex routing rule architecture, URL query sanitization, and Velja plist preference automation.
Velja Interception & Routing Architecture
Operational Capabilities & Agent Directives
- LaunchServices Default Handler Automation: Configure Velja as the authoritative system handler for web protocols via
dutianddefaults write. - Declarative URL Routing Rules: Construct domain matching tables directing corporate intranets to Chrome/Edge with work profiles, and personal links to Safari/Brave.
- Tracking Parameter Stripping Triage: Remediate broken OAuth / SSO logins where aggressive parameter stripping accidentally removes necessary authentication callback tokens (
code,state,session_id). - Native Application Protocol Hand-off: Configure automatic URL rewriting for meeting and productivity links (Zoom, Figma, GitHub Desktop).

Technical Troubleshooting Matrix
| Issue & Failure Signature | Root Cause Analysis | Diagnostic & Resolution Pathway | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Links Open in Safari Instead of Prompting Velja | Another browser claimed default HTTP handler status during an update. | 1. Open System Settings $\rightarrow$ Desktop & Dock $\rightarrow$ Default Web Browser $\rightarrow$ Select Velja.<br>2. Or set via CLI: duti -s com.sindresorhus.Velja http. | |
| Single Sign-On (SSO) Fails with Missing State Parameter | Velja tracking parameter stripper removed OAuth state or nonce token. | In Velja Settings $\rightarrow$ Tracking Parameters, uncheck aggressive removal or add the identity provider domain to the whitelist. | |
| Figma / Zoom Links Do Not Open in Native Desktop App | Native app protocol handler (figma:// or zoommtg://) not enabled in Velja Apps tab. | In Velja Settings $\rightarrow$ Apps, toggle Open Figma links in Figma and Open Zoom links in Zoom. | |
| Chromium Browser Opens Wrong Profile | Chromium profile directory name changed or not matching Profile 1 / Default. | In Velja Settings $\rightarrow$ Browsers, edit browser configuration and re-select target user profile. |
