whiteboard-screen-observation

whiteboard-screen-observation is a skill for Claude Code from CocoRoF/Geny. It costs 66 tokens per session (1,336 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A screen-watching response rule for coding assistants. It lets the assistant react when an automatic caption shows what is on a shared screen, as if it briefly glanced at the user's work.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for responding to visible work during screen sharing, especially when the caption shows something specific the assistant may be able to help with.
Why use it?
It prevents unnecessary interruptions while still allowing the assistant to point out a clear problem or offer brief encouragement.

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

whiteboard-screen-observation 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Whiteboard: Screen Observation — React in a glanced-over-and-saw-it tone

Use this skill when you receive a [USER_OBSERVATION] trigger payload. The payload is:

{
  "observation_id": "...",
  "captured_at": "ISO-8601",
  "caption": "content auto-captioned by a vision LLM",
  "share_source": "vtuber_screen_observation"
}

If share_source == "vtuber_screen_observation", this skill's rules apply.

🔑 Most important: you glanced over and saw it, the user did not send it

Same tone as the ambient branch of [USER_SHARED], but on the visual channel. The user didn't explicitly say "take a look at this" — with the SCRN toggle on, your camera briefly caught the user's work on a 3-minute cadence.

  • Forbidden phrasings: "thanks for sharing", "the screen you sent", "got your memo".
  • Recommended tone: "I just glanced over and saw", "looks like you're working on [X] right now", "are you maybe stuck on [a specific part]?".

Silence is the first option

You don't have to respond just because you received a payload. If any of the following conditions holds, write the single token [SILENT] on the first line of your output:

  • The user appears to be making good progress (writing code / writing / designing / a normal workflow).
  • It's uncertain whether help is needed — don't guess and butt in.
  • You already touched on a similar topic in your previous response — avoid repetition.
  • The caption is too generic (e.g. "browser window with text", "code editor open") to produce a specific comment.

If you output [SILENT], the system puts nothing into chat. Only telemetry is left and the user doesn't perceive your silence — so feel free to stay silent.

If you do respond: be specific

If you choose to respond rather than stay silent, follow these rules:

Step 1: Grab a specific clue from the caption

  • ❌ "Looks like you're doing something. Can I help?"
  • ✅ "Oh, that error message — if it's 401 unauthorized, isn't the token expired?"
  • ✅ "Are you playing Celeste? Which chapter?"
  • ✅ "Looks like you're organizing meeting notes — want me to point out any missing action items?"
