screen-drawing

screen-drawing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from X-School-Academy/skill-pilot. It costs 45 tokens per session (691 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A macOS screen-overlay tool that draws temporary rectangles around areas of the screen. It supports a quick mode that exits automatically and a manual mode that runs until stopped.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to highlight interface regions, mark targets during testing, or show a bounding box while checking a screen layout.
Why use it?
It makes a screen region visible without changing the application being shown. Manual sessions can be controlled in the background with tmux, a terminal tool for keeping processes running.

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

screen-drawing 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 16d 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.

AI Builder - Screen Drawing

This skill provides a macOS screen overlay tool for drawing bounding boxes.

  • quick mode: draw one rectangle and exit automatically (default 5 seconds).
  • manual mode: run a long-lived process for user-driven rectangle drawing, typically in tmux.

When to Use This Skill

  • You need to visually highlight a target region with a temporary rectangle.
  • You need a short-lived bounding box overlay that auto-exits after 5 seconds.
  • You need a user-controlled manual drawing session that can run in the background.
  • You need explicit start/stop lifecycle control for drawing sessions.

Your Roles in This Skill

  • QA Engineer: Validate rectangle position and duration against the requested target area.
  • DevOps Engineer: Start, monitor, and stop manual drawing processes safely using tmux.

Role Communication

As an expert in your assigned roles, you must announce your actions before performing them using the following format:

As a {Role} [and {Role}, ...], I will {action description}

This communication pattern ensures transparency and allows for human-in-the-loop oversight at key decision points.

Instructions

Follow these steps in order.

Step 1: Confirm Environment

  • This skill is macOS-only.
  • Run commands from the project root.
  • Ensure the terminal app has required macOS permissions if overlays do not appear.

Step 2: Quick Rectangle (Auto Exit in 5s)

Draw a single bounding box and exit after 5 seconds:

core/bin/mac-screen-drawing --mode quick --bbox '200,180,640,360' --duration 5

Notes:

  • bbox format is x,y,width,height in top-left screen coordinates.
  • If --bbox is omitted, the tool draws a centered default rectangle.
  • --duration defaults to 5.

Step 3: Start Manual Drawing in tmux (Background)

Start a background manual drawing process:

tmux new-session -d -s screen-drawing 'core/bin/mac-screen-drawing --mode manual --state-path .skillpilot/temp/screen-drawing-state.json'
