FAQPage Schema
How do I share screenshots from my Mac with Claude Code over SSH?▼

Capture a local screenshot region, upload it to your devbox via SCP, and copy the remote path to your clipboard. The screenshot-to-devbox skill automates this workflow, letting you reference the image directly in Claude Code without clipboard paste limitations over SSH.

Why doesn't pasting images from my clipboard work in Claude Code on a remote devbox?▼

SSH sessions don't support clipboard image data transfer between local and remote machines. This skill works around that by capturing screenshots locally, uploading them to the devbox as files, and providing the remote file path you can paste into Claude Code.

What do I need to use screenshot sharing with Claude Code over SSH?▼

You need macOS with screencapture, SSH access to your devbox, SCP for file transfer, and Claude Code running on the remote machine. The skill handles region selection, upload, and clipboard path insertion automatically.

Can I use this skill to share screenshots during remote debugging sessions?▼

Yes. Capture a local screenshot region, the skill uploads it to your devbox and copies the path to your clipboard, so you can immediately paste the reference into Claude Code for visual context during remote troubleshooting.

Does this skill work with Linux or Windows devboxes?▼

The skill requires macOS locally for the screencapture command. Your devbox can run any OS that supports SSH and SCP file transfer; the skill uploads images to a remote directory accessible from Claude Code.
