What it does

C Screen is an agent skill from daxaur/openpaw. Capture screenshots and extract text via OCR using peekaboo, and capture webcam images using camsnap. Enables visual analysis of screen content and camera input.

Its SKILL.md is about 400 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Personal Assistant Wizard for Claude Code — npx pawmode. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/c-screen”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a2562d1. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    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

C Screen loads about 402 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 94 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~402

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.

What This Skill Does

Enables Claude to take screenshots, extract text from the screen via OCR, and capture webcam images for visual analysis using peekaboo and camsnap.

Available CLI Tools

peekaboo — Screenshots & OCR
bash
# Take a full screenshot and save to file
peekaboo screenshot --output ~/Desktop/screen.png

# Take screenshot and extract all text via OCR
peekaboo ocr

# OCR a specific region (x, y, width, height)
peekaboo ocr --region 0,0,1280,720

# Screenshot a specific window by app name
peekaboo screenshot --app "Safari" --output window.png

# Screenshot and pipe to stdout for immediate analysis
peekaboo screenshot --stdout
camsnap — Webcam Capture
bash
# Capture a single webcam frame
camsnap --output ~/Desktop/photo.jpg

# Capture with a specific camera device
camsnap --device 0 --output shot.jpg

# Capture and print file path
camsnap --output /tmp/cam.jpg && echo "Saved"

Usage Guidelines

  • Use peekaboo ocr when the user wants text extracted from the screen
  • Use camsnap only when the user explicitly wants a webcam image
  • After capturing, read the image file to analyze its contents visually

Notes

  • macOS screen recording permission required for peekaboo
  • Camera permission required for camsnap
  • OCR accuracy depends on font size and screen resolution
