AI SummaryA skill that enables Claude to take screenshots to verify visual state and debug GUI applications, particularly useful for developers working with visual tools and uncertain operations.
Install
Copy this and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI assistant:
I want to install the "screenshotting" skill in my project. Please run this command in my terminal: # Install skill into the correct directory (2 files) mkdir -p .claude/skills/screenshotting && curl --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors -o .claude/skills/screenshotting/SKILL.md "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/majiayu000/claude-skill-registry/main/skills/data/screenshotting/SKILL.md" && curl --retry 3 --retry-delay 2 --retry-all-errors -o .claude/skills/screenshotting/metadata.json "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/majiayu000/claude-skill-registry/main/skills/data/screenshotting/metadata.json" Then restart Claude Code (or reload the window in Cursor) so the skill is picked up.
Description
Take screenshots to see what's on screen. Triggers on 'screenshot', 'grab a screenshot', 'have a look', 'can you see', 'what does it look like', 'check the screen', 'did that work', 'verify it worked', 'what happened'. AFTER uncertain CLI operations (backgrounded processes, nohup, visual changes), consider capturing to verify state. Captures windows or full screen to files. (user)
How It Works
• Window enumeration: Uses macOS CGWindowList API (pure Quartz, no AppleScript) • Capture: Uses screencapture -l<windowid> for windows, screencapture -x for screen • Resize: Uses sips --resampleHeightWidthMax for efficient scaling Key capability: Can capture windows even when covered or minimized.
Screenshotting
Take screenshots to see what's on screen. Captures persist as files (unlike browsermcp snapshots which only exist in context).
Capture specific app window
~/.claude/.venv/bin/python ~/.claude/skills/screenshotting/scripts/look.py --app Ghostty
Capture window by title match
~/.claude/.venv/bin/python ~/.claude/skills/screenshotting/scripts/look.py --app Chrome --title "LinkedIn"
