What This Skill Does

Captures screenshots at the OS level across macOS, Linux, and Windows. Supports full screen, specific app or window, pixel regions, and multi-display setups. Falls back to direct OS commands when helper scripts are unavailable. Instead of manually running platform-specific commands or dealing with macOS permission prompts each time, the bundled scripts handle tool selection, save-path logic, and permission checks automatically across all three major OSes.

When to use it

  • Working with screenshot functionality
  • Implementing screenshot features
  • Debugging screenshot related issues
