screenshot — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
Captures app windows or pixel regions across operating systems. Useful for bug reports and design reviews.
npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill screenshot -a claude-codeWhat screenshot does
The skill lets an agent capture screen content across operating systems. It handles application windows or specified pixel coordinates. Output mode is image. This simplifies gathering visuals for design reviews and bug reports.
This catalog entry advertises the capability in OpenDesign so the agent spots it during planning. To run the original workflow with upstream scripts, you must install the bundle from OpenAI's skills repository. That means checking upstream availability before relying on automated captures.
Agents trigger the routine via phrases like capture screen or the direct command screenshot.
What it helps with
- capture an application window for a bug report
- record a specific pixel region to inspect UI layout
- take a desktop capture for design review
- prepare visual interface assets for marketing materials
Example prompts for the agent
- capture screen of the current workspace
- take a window screenshot of the active application
- pixel region capture around the navigation bar
