screenshot is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from edonadei/caliper. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,941 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of screenshot, MIT.

A skill for capturing a screenshot of a computer screen, application window, or selected screen area. It follows different save-location rules depending on whether the user provides a path.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when the user asks for a full-screen, window, or region screenshot, or when an operating-system-level capture is needed.
Why use it?

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

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 7d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to screenshot — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 268 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Screenshot Capture

Follow these save-location rules every time:

  1. If the user specifies a path, save there.
  2. If the user asks for a screenshot without a path, save to the OS default screenshot location.
  3. If Codex needs a screenshot for its own inspection, save to the temp directory.

Tool priority

  • Prefer tool-specific screenshot capabilities when available (for example: a Figma MCP/skill for Figma files, or Playwright/agent-browser tools for browsers and Electron apps).
  • Use this skill when explicitly asked, for whole-system desktop captures, or when a tool-specific capture cannot get what you need.
  • Otherwise, treat this skill as the default for desktop apps without a better-integrated capture tool.

macOS permission preflight (reduce repeated prompts)

On macOS, run the preflight helper once before window/app capture. It checks Screen Recording permission, explains why it is needed, and requests it in one place.

The helpers route Swift's module cache to $TMPDIR/codex-swift-module-cache to avoid extra sandbox module-cache prompts.

bash <path-to-skill>/scripts/ensure_macos_permissions.sh

To avoid multiple sandbox approval prompts, combine preflight + capture in one command when possible:

bash <path-to-skill>/scripts/ensure_macos_permissions.sh && \
python3 <path-to-skill>/scripts/take_screenshot.py --app "Codex"

For Codex inspection runs, keep the output in temp:

bash <path-to-skill>/scripts/ensure_macos_permissions.sh && \
python3 <path-to-skill>/scripts/take_screenshot.py --app "<App>" --mode temp

Use the bundled scripts to avoid re-deriving OS-specific commands.

macOS and Linux (Python helper)

Run the helper from the repo root:

python3 <path-to-skill>/scripts/take_screenshot.py

Common patterns:

  • Default location (user asked for "a screenshot"):
python3 <path-to-skill>/scripts/take_screenshot.py
  • Temp location (Codex visual check):
python3 <path-to-skill>/scripts/take_screenshot.py --mode temp

Changes

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.
