devexpress-wpf-from-screenshot

devexpress-wpf-from-screenshot is a skill for Claude Code from DevExpress/agent-skills. It costs 161 tokens per session (5,795 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for turning a screenshot, image, or Figma design into a running DevExpress WPF screen. WPF is Microsoft's desktop user-interface framework for .NET, and XAML is the markup used to describe its screens.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build DevExpress WPF layouts from mockups, write the XAML, run the application, and compare the result with the source design.
Why use it?
It helps choose suitable controls instead of guessing from a static picture, then checks that the built screen actually appears and matches the design.

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

devexpress-wpf-from-screenshot 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/build-run-capture.ps1, scripts/measure-render.ps1), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 366 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Build a DevExpress WPF Screen from a Mockup

Read this file to the end before you act on any of it. If your file-reading tool returned only part of it, call it again for the remaining lines: the consent gates below are what a partial read skips.

One decision repeats: what is a region for, and which control does that? The picture cannot answer it — a static strip and a user-rearrangeable panel look identical. So inspect before choosing, announce before building, check the running window before claiming.

Done means a screen you have seen running. A green build proves nothing — markup compiles and then renders an empty panel, a collapsed region, a window that never appears.

Keep this conversation small, and take fewer, larger steps. Everything you pull into it is carried through every later step of the run, so what is cheap to read once is not cheap to hold; batch what can be batched rather than paying for another round trip. Send bulk work to sub-agents and take back only their conclusion. Images must not accumulate here: ⛔ never open a capture yourself — the render step writes the UI tree as text, so read that; the images go to the comparison sub-agent and its verdict comes back as words. Locate with glob/grep, then read only the block you need. Never re-read a file you just wrote. Read a reference file at the step that needs it, not up front.


Result levels

Level Goal When it applies
Structure Every element is there, each built from a control that fits its function, in the right hierarchy, with the real texts; the app runs. There means visible and readable at the size the app opens — an element that exists in the tree but sits off the screen, or in a card whose rows are cut, is not there for the user. Colour is not judged here — but a fill, bar, icon or highlight a control produces from a rule is a feature, not a colour, and so is the text a feature emits by default, so both belong here. Always
Look It reads as the same screen — layout, proportion, spacing, typography — expressed through the theme the app already uses and through the properties the controls themselves expose. By default
Detail Exact colours, metrics, fonts and glyphs, and the gaps that can only be closed by overriding theme resources. On request

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.
