## What it does

The skill defines a visual review flow for interface changes. It calls for screenshots at `1920x1080`, `768x1024`, and `375x667`, with room for full-page captures, component states, and before-and-after comparisons. The workflow also records responsive behavior for pull requests.

Screenshots can come from browser DevTools or scripts built with Playwright and Puppeteer. The Playwright route runs with `node screenshot.js`; visual regression examples use `@playwright/test`. That script opens `http://localhost:3000`, so the page must be reachable there before capture starts.

A pull request can include the images alongside notes about layout, menus, touch targets, and interaction states. Reviewers can inspect the result without starting the project locally. The same files can document a bug fix over time.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills --skill screenshot -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/screenshot/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/screenshot/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills --skill screenshot -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/screenshot/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills --skill screenshot -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/screenshot/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills screenshot
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/screenshot/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills --skill screenshot -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills --path universal/verification/screenshot
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/screenshot/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills --skill screenshot -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills/tree/HEAD/universal/verification/screenshot/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- check a UI at desktop, tablet, and mobile sizes
- compare a layout before and after a fix
- capture hover, active, error, and loading states
- spot responsive overflow and breakpoint issues
- attach visual evidence to a pull request

## Example prompts
- Check the UI at `1920x1080`, `768x1024`, and `375x667`, then prepare screenshots for the pull request.
- Run `node screenshot.js` and compare the desktop and mobile output.
- Create a visual regression test for the homepage with `@playwright/test`.

# Screenshot-Based UI Verification

Visual verification workflow for UI changes to accelerate code review and catch responsive design issues early.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:
- Making any UI changes (components, styling, layout)
- Implementing responsive design
- Creating pull requests with visual changes
- Want to demonstrate UI behavior without reviewers running code locally
- Need to document visual state before/after bug fixes

## Why Screenshot Verification Matters

### Benefits
- **Faster Reviews**: Reviewers see changes instantly without local setup
- **Documents Design**: Creates visual record of design decisions
- **Visual Changelog**: Historical record of UI evolution
- **Catches Responsive Issues**: Early detection of mobile/tablet problems
- **Reduces Communication**: Less back-and-forth about visual changes
- **Quality Gate**: Forces conscious review of visual output

### Problems It Solves
- ❌ "I can't reproduce the layout issue locally"
- ❌ "What does this look like on mobile?"
- ❌ "Is this the intended design?"
- ❌ "How does this compare to the old version?"
- ✅ All answered with screenshots in PR

## Required Screenshots

For any PR that changes UI, capture all three viewport sizes:

### 1. Desktop View (1920x1080)
- Full page screenshot
- Key component close-ups if needed
- Before and after comparisons (for fixes/refactors)
- Different states (default, hover, active, error, loading)

### 2. Tablet View (768x1024)
- Portrait orientation
- Verify responsive breakpoints
- Touch interaction targets visible
- Menu/navigation in tablet mode

### 3. Mobile View (375x667)
- Portrait orientation (iPhone 8/SE size - common minimum)
- Touch target sizes visible (minimum 44x44px)
- Scrolling behavior documented
- Mobile menu states

## How to Capture Screenshots

### Browser DevTools Method

**Chrome/Edge DevTools**:
1. Open DevTools (F12 or Cmd+Option+I)
2. Toggle device toolbar (Cmd+Shift+M or Ctrl+Shift+M)
3. Select device preset or custom dimensions:
   - Desktop: 1920 x 1080
   - Tablet: 768 x 1024
   - Mobile: 375 x 667
4. Capture screenshot:
   - Full page: Cmd+Shift+P → "Capture full size screenshot"
   - Viewport only: Cmd+Shift+P → "Capture screenshot"

**Firefox DevTools**:
1. Open DevTools (F12)
2. Toggle Responsive Design Mode (Cmd+Option+M)
```
