## What it does

A native `fullPage` screenshot often lies. On lazy-loaded, scroll-animated and canvas-heavy pages it returns gray bands, white gaps or a thin strip of content. This skill scrolls the page top to bottom in viewport-sized steps, waits about 2 seconds after each stop, captures the settled viewport and stitches the slices vertically into one image.

The skill ships a Node script at `scripts/stitch_full_page_capture.mjs`. It reads a manifest with `items[].pageUrl`, `fullPageImage` and `sectionImages`, opens each live page in Playwright Chromium, warms lazy content with a scroll pass, then regenerates section crops from the stitched image instead of the native `fullPage` shot. The manifest gets the capture method, viewport, step, segment count and corrected crop coordinates. Options include `--item`, `--viewport`, `--step`, `--wait` and `--quality`.

You need Node and Playwright Chromium, plus ffmpeg for JPEG quality. Open the real page URL, not a marketplace thumbnail or an asset link. If the stitched image disagrees with the scroll video or still has blank bands, the candidate is rejected.

## Requirements
- Works with: Playwright

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill stitched-full-page-capture -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill stitched-full-page-capture -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill stitched-full-page-capture -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install MengTo/Skills stitched-full-page-capture
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/stitched-full-page-capture/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill stitched-full-page-capture -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/MengTo/Skills --path agent-skills/codex/stitched-full-page-capture
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add MengTo/Skills --skill stitched-full-page-capture -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/MengTo/Skills/tree/HEAD/agent-skills/codex/stitched-full-page-capture/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- capture a Framer page without gray bands in the full-page shot
- repair a full-page image that came out blank
- cut article section crops from a trustworthy image instead of a broken fullPage shot
- warm lazy media and reveal sections before capturing
- check the stitched image against the scroll video and reject mismatches

## Example prompts
- stitch a full-page screenshot from viewport slices and update the manifest
- repair item 4 only, its full-page came out gray
- regenerate the section crops from the stitched image

description: Capture or repair reliable full-page screenshots for lazy-loaded, scroll-animated, Framer, WebGL/canvas, or reveal-heavy web pages. Use when full-page screenshots are blank, gray, white, sparse, show a tiny content strip, disagree with a working scroll video, or when article evidence/section crops must be derived from a trustworthy full-page image.

# Stitched Full-Page Capture

## Overview

Use settled viewport screenshots instead of trusting one-shot browser `fullPage` captures. This is especially important for Framer pages and other lazy/scroll-animated sites where the MP4 can look correct while the tall screenshot is mostly blank.

## Core Workflow

1. Open the real page URL, not a marketplace thumbnail, cover image, remix page, or asset URL.
2. Warm the page by scrolling from top to bottom once so lazy media and reveal sections mount.
3. Return to the top.
4. Scroll downward in viewport-sized or slightly-overlapping steps.
5. Wait about 2 seconds after each scroll stop.
6. Capture the settled viewport.
7. Stitch the viewport captures vertically into one full-page image.
8. Cut section crops from that stitched image, not from the native browser `fullPage` screenshot.
9. Validate the stitched image against the representative still, MP4, and motion frames.

Reject a full-page candidate when it has blank/gray/white bands, very low visual content, missing lazy-loaded sections, an extremely narrow content column, or obvious disagreement with the scroll video.

## Script

For daily UI inspiration articles, use the helper script from this skill directory when available:

```bash
node <skills-root>/stitched-full-page-capture/scripts/stitch_full_page_capture.mjs \
  --manifest articles/YYYY-MM-DD-ui-inspiration-capture/manifest.json
```

The script:

- reads `items[].pageUrl`, `fullPageImage`, and `sectionImages`;
- opens each live page in Playwright Chromium;
- warms lazy content by scrolling once;
- captures settled viewport slices;
- stitches slices into `fullPageImage`;
- regenerates each existing section crop from the stitched image;
- updates `manifest.json` with `fullPageCaptureMethod: "stitchedViewportScreenshots"`, viewport, step, segment count, and corrected crop coordinates.

Useful options:

```bash
--item 4              # repair only item 4, 1-based
--viewport 1440x1100 # default
````
