What problem does it solve?
This skill provides a consistent OS-native screenshot workflow when AI tools lack built-in capture or when a precise desktop snapshot is explicitly requested, preventing users from crafting shell-specific commands.
It bundles preflight permission checks and multi-platform helpers so agents can respond with ready-to-use image paths without manual troubleshooting.
Core Features & Use Cases
- OS-aware helpers: macOS runs a swift permission check before capture, Linux auto-selects scrot/gnome-screenshot/import, and Windows uses the PowerShell helper with path resolution.
- Flexible capture modes: support full-screen, temp-dir, explicit path, app/window, region, active window, and multi-display suffixing to cover investigative or documentation needs.
- Use case: Capture the running application, save to the temp directory for Codex inspection, and relay each printed file path back for visual comparison against the design.
Quick Start
Ask for a desktop screenshot saved to the default location so the skill runs the helper and returns the file path.
