screenshot

screenshot is a skill for Codex from VoDaiLocz/kilo-kit-mcp. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,941 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of screenshot, Apache-2.0.

Instructions for capturing an image of a computer screen, a specific window, an application, or a selected region. It explains where to save the image and when to use an operating-system capture.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when someone requests a desktop or system screenshot, or when an application has no built-in capture tool. It supports full-screen, window, application, and pixel-region captures.
Why use it?
It prevents screenshots from being saved in the wrong place or captured with a less suitable method. It also covers the macOS permission check needed for some window and screen captures.

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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/ensure_macos_permissions.sh, scripts/take_screenshot.ps1, scripts/take_screenshot.py), 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.

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

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.
