What it does

Take Screenshots is an agent skill from ankitvgupta/exo. Capture screenshots of the Exo Electron app workflows using Playwright in demo mode. Use when the user asks for screenshots, workflow documentation, or visual captures of the app.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering Operations and SOPs and Browser testing. It works with Playwright and Electron. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code for your Inbox.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for screenshots
  • Workflow documentation
  • Visual captures of the app

Example prompts

  • “/take-screenshots”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. App must be built first — screenshots run against the compiled output
  2. Virtual display required (headless Linux) — the app needs Xvfb since Electron requires a display server

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 04da760. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Take Screenshots loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 286 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 286 words (~1,249 tokens).

“Captures screenshots of the Exo Electron app by running Playwright tests in demo mode.”
