capturing-journeys

capturing-journeys is a skill for Claude Code from bnayahu/journeycast. It costs 46 tokens per session (442 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for turning an approved user-flow description into real screenshots of a running app. It checks the flow, visits each screen, performs its actions, and records the resulting images.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after creating or editing a journey.yaml file, a plain-text description of an app journey. It validates the file, checks that the app is running, captures each step, and verifies the output manifest and image paths.
Why use it?
It removes the need to capture every step manually and helps catch invalid flows or missing screenshot files before the results are used.

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

capturing-journeys scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

Capturing journeys

Run the deterministic capture engine over the human-approved journey.yaml.

Paths follow the Output location convention from deriving-journeys: the journey lives at $OUTDIR/journey.yaml (<target-repo>/docs/journeycast/pr-<pr>/journey.yaml) and capture scratch goes under $WORKDIR (out/pr-<pr>/ in the journeycast clone, gitignored). Resolve both from the PR number before running.

Steps

  1. Re-validate after edits. Run node engine/validate.mjs "$OUTDIR/journey.yaml". If it exits non-zero, show the field errors and route the user back to the edit gate. Do not capture an invalid journey.

  2. Confirm the app is running. Health-check app.baseUrl (e.g. curl -sSf <baseUrl> -o /dev/null). If unreachable, tell the user to start the app and stop.

  3. Capture. Run node engine/capture.mjs --journey "$OUTDIR/journey.yaml" --out "$WORKDIR/capture". This navigates, performs actions, waits, screenshots each step, and resolves callout/zoom bounding boxes.

  4. Verify assets. Confirm $WORKDIR/capture/capture-manifest.json exists and that each non-title/outro step lists at least one frames[].path that exists on disk.

  5. Handle failures. If capture exits non-zero, it prints a CaptureError naming the failing step id and the attempted selector. Surface that message verbatim, note that partial assets were retained under $WORKDIR/capture, and route the user back to the edit gate to fix the selector or step.

Output

$WORKDIR/capture/capture-manifest.json plus per-step screenshots, ready for rendering.

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.
