What it does
Screenshot Capture is an agent skill from CoWork-OS/CoWork-OS. Capture desktop screenshots with OS-aware save-location rules, app/window/region support, and bundled helpers.
Its SKILL.md is about 400 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/full-guidance.md`, `scripts/ensure_macos_permissions.sh` and `scripts/take_screenshot.py`).
The repository describes itself as: Local-first personal agentic OS and everything app for coding, knowledge work, web design, automations, and artifacts. The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/screenshot-capture”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A Bash shell
- PowerShell
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0ace02b. 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
Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Shell, PowerShell and Python), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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
Screenshot Capture loads about 403 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 196 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Screenshot Capture
Purpose
Capture screenshots of the desktop, an app, a window, or a region with the right save location.
Routing
- Use when: Use when the user explicitly asks for a screenshot, for whole-system desktop captures, or when a tool-specific capture cannot get what you need.
- Do not use when: Do not use when a better-integrated screenshot tool is available for the requested surface, or when the request is unrelated to visual capture.
- Outputs: Saved screenshot path(s) plus a brief capture note when needed.
- Success criteria: Returns the saved screenshot path(s), uses the requested save location, and follows the platform-specific capture workflow without inventing unavailable tools.
Trigger Examples
Positive
- Take a screenshot of this app window.
- Capture the full desktop and save it to a file.
- Take a screenshot of Codex and put it in temp.
- Use Screenshot Capture for this desktop capture.
Negative
- Summarize this text without taking a screenshot.
- Write a plan for a capture workflow.
- This is a browser-only automation task with a better tool available.
- This request does not involve any visual capture.
Runtime Prompt
- Current runtime prompt length: defined directly in
../screenshot-capture.json. - Detailed save-location rules and command patterns live in
references/full-guidance.md.
