Chickenfoot - this is what runs under CoScripter. ChickenFoot is not just some ad-hoc scripting language like in CoScripter, but simply JavaScript with a quite interesting automation library integrated. So as a building block, in my opinion better suited, especially since the scripts remain on the local computer.

CoScripter - I'm currently looking at this, is an extension for automating web access (similar to FakeApp, but less graphical) and could help me automate the download of my SL transactions again. Because they are - as with many "social networks" - hidden behind stupidly complex login scenarios, which are not trivial to automate with e.g. Python. However, it stores the scripts on a public server, even private scripts are stored there, just not accessible to everyone. Somehow also not quite right.
