screenshotting-gui AGENTS.md

screenshotting-gui AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from EvilFreelancer/screenshotting-gui. It costs 907 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for screenshotting-gui, a repeatable workflow for controlling a graphical application in a virtual display and taking annotated screenshots. It uses Xvfb, a virtual screen, plus Python X11 control and ImageMagick annotation scripts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to launch a GUI app, move and click, type, scroll, drag, capture screenshots, list windows, and add boxes, crops, stacked images, or arrows. It is designed to work without app-specific coordinate tables.
Why use it?
It makes GUI screenshots and input safer and more consistent by keeping them on the isolated display :99. The instructions prevent accidental interaction with display :0.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

screenshotting-gui AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Authoring & maintaining screenshotting-gui

Agent guide for editing this skill's own repo. For the catalog-level sync process see AGENTS.md in the rpa-skills aggregator.

What this skill is

A deterministic, general-purpose pipeline to screenshot a running GUI app on an isolated Xvfb display, drive it with python-Xlib (XTEST), and annotate with ImageMagick. The canonical instructions are SKILL.md (loaded by progressive disclosure). Keep it app-agnostic - no per-application coordinate tables baked in.

Non-negotiable invariant

Target display :99 (Xvfb), never :0. The scripts default their own target to :99; the launched app reads $DISPLAY, so the workflow always exports DISPLAY=:99. Any change that could send input or a capture to :0 is a defect.

Dependency policy

Scripts use stdlib + python-Xlib + ImageMagick only. The optional faster capture path may use Pillow, but the default (import) must keep working without it. No xdotool/wmctrl/pyautogui, no root, no install steps at runtime.

Testing changes

Validate on a real Xvfb, not by eye. Bring up Xvfb :99, launch a controllable GUI (a small Tk window is enough; xterm/xclock if present), and exercise every xctl.py command, the xpaste.py unicode path, and each annotate.py subcommand, checking the output PNGs. A safe way to run the whole matrix is to dispatch it to a subagent that is told the :99-only rule. Keep test artifacts out of the repo.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
