High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate terminal UI screenshot testing for CLI commands?▼

Yes, terminal screenshot capture enhances PR reviews by generating visual output of CLI commands. It renders slash command outputs like /about or /auth into screenshots, making visual verification faster and more reliable during code reviews.

What do I need to run automated CLI screenshot tests with Playwright?▼

Terminal screenshot testing uses node-pty to spawn a pseudo-terminal, xterm.js to render the terminal UI in a browser environment, and Playwright to capture the rendered output as a screenshot. This combination accurately captures CLI visual output.

Can I capture screenshots of slash commands in my CLI application?▼

Use terminal-capture to automate screenshot generation for slash commands like /about, /context, /auth, and /export. It triggers when 'terminal screenshot', 'CLI test', or 'visual test' is mentioned, rendering command output into image files.

Are there limitations when using xterm.js and Playwright for terminal visual testing?▼

Limitations include requiring a full Node.js, npm, and Chromium environment to run the visual tests. The testing process depends on browser-based rendering via xterm.js and Playwright, which may not capture non-standard terminal escape sequences accurately.
