app-screenshots

app-screenshots is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from buddyh/agent-skills. It costs 79 tokens per session (1,142 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for capturing screenshots of every view in a web app, desktop app, or Electron app. It discovers screens, launches the app when needed, saves named images, and creates a summary manifest.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare marketing images, product documentation, README assets, or a visual inventory of app screens.
Why use it?
It gives you a systematic visual record of an app instead of requiring screenshots to be collected manually and inconsistently.

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

app-screenshots 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 2mo 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.

App Screenshots

Systematically capture every view/screen of an application for marketing, product sites, README assets, and documentation.

Workflow

1. Discover all views/screens in the app
2. Build + launch the app (if not already running)
3. Navigate to each view and screenshot it
4. Save named screenshots to output directory
5. Generate a manifest (summary.md)

Step 1: Discover Views

Analyze the project to enumerate all distinct views/screens. Methods by project type:

Swift/SwiftUI macOS apps: Grep for View structs, WindowGroup, Window, Settings, sheets, popovers, menu bar panels. Check for multiple window types, onboarding flows, settings tabs.

Web apps: Check routes (React Router, Next.js pages, Express routes). Each route = one screenshot minimum. Also check for modals, drawers, settings panels.

Electron apps: Check BrowserWindow creation, route handlers, IPC window openers.

Present the discovered view list to the user for confirmation before proceeding:

Found 8 views:
1. Main window (default state)
2. Settings > General
3. Settings > Appearance
4. Settings > Shortcuts
5. Popdown menu
6. Onboarding wizard
7. Empty state
8. Active session state

Proceed? Any views to add/skip?

Step 2: Build + Launch

Build and launch the app if it's not already running. If it is, skip this step.

Step 3: Capture Each View

Navigate to each view and capture it. Sequential only -- one view at a time.

macOS Native Apps (Swift/SwiftUI)

# Get window ID for the app
WINDOW_ID=$(osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get id of first window of (first process whose name is "AppName")')

# Screenshot specific window (no shadow, no sound)
screencapture -l $WINDOW_ID -o -x "$OUTPUT_DIR/view-name.png"

For views that require navigation (settings tabs, popovers):

  • Use AppleScript or accessibility APIs to click/navigate
  • Or instruct the user: "Please open Settings > Appearance, then press Enter"
  • Wait, then capture

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.
