What it does

Latchshot Page Capture is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Use this skill when a user needs a screenshot, website thumbnail, full-page capture, or PDF of a public HTTP(S) webpage saved as a local artifact through Latchshot, including report, QA, archive, and social-preview workflows. Do not use it for private or authenticated pages, raw HTML, scraping or extraction, arbitrary browser actions, CAPTCHA or anti-bot bypass, or local-file capture.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Web scraping and PDF. The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • A user needs a screenshot
  • Website thumbnail
  • Full-page capture
  • PDF of a public HTTP(S) webpage saved as a local artifact through Latchshot

Example prompts

  • “/latchshot-page-capture”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in LATCHSHOT_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Confirm the target is a public HTTP or HTTPS page. Reject credentials, private/internal pages, non-web ports, signed URLs, query secrets…
  2. Choose a user-approved output path. Infer the format from .png, .jpg/.jpeg, or .pdf, or pass the matching --format explicitly.
  3. Run the client from this skill directory
  4. For a bounded full-page screenshot that activates lazy content
  5. For a PDF
  6. Parse the one-line JSON result. Confirm ok, output, format, contentType, and bytes; inspect the local artifact when the surrounding task…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. 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 1 file in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • latchshot.fly.dev

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • LATCHSHOT_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Latchshot Page Capture loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 581 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~103
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

description
Use this skill when a user needs a screenshot, website thumbnail, full-page capture, or PDF of a public HTTP(S) webpage saved as a local artifact through Latchshot, including report, QA, archive, and social-preview workflows. Do not use it for private or authenticated pages, raw HTML, scraping or extraction, arbitrary browser actions, CAPTCHA or anti-bot bypass, or local-file capture.

Latchshot page capture

Use the bundled dependency-free client to turn one public webpage URL into a validated local PNG, JPEG, or PDF. Start with a constrained no-key JPEG demo when appropriate. Authenticated commands send the API key only to the fixed https://latchshot.fly.dev origin, and every artifact is written atomically.

Latchshot is a hosted third-party service maintained by this skill's contributor. Keep its use optional and preserve an existing local-browser workflow when the task needs private pages or unsupported browser actions.

Prerequisite

Require Node.js 20 or newer and network access. Read the key only from LATCHSHOT_API_KEY for authenticated capture and usage commands.

If the variable is missing, use the no-key demo for one bounded JPEG when it fits the request. For PNG, PDF, full-page, cleanup, or repeat work, direct the user to the Agent Skills setup documentation, then stop. Never ask the user to paste a key into chat, a command argument, source code, a committed file, or output. Never print or return the key.

No-key demo

Use this command for a public page when a viewport JPEG is acceptable:

bash
node scripts/latchshot.mjs demo \
  --url 'https://example.com' \
  --output './artifacts/example-demo.jpg'

The demo is JPEG-only, does not use an account or render quota, and allows three attempts per IP address per hour. It accepts only width, height, query confirmation, and explicit overwrite options. The public URL is still sent to Latchshot, and the request carries the coarse agentskill acquisition label. Reject private pages, secrets, signed URLs, and authenticated access exactly as in the capture workflow. Treat the result as a proof artifact, not as a customer activation or plan signup.

Capture workflow

  1. Confirm the target is a public HTTP or HTTPS page. Reject credentials, private/internal pages, non-web ports, signed URLs, query secrets, and any request requiring login, cookies, CAPTCHA handling, proxy rotation, arbitrary scripts, clicks, typing, or anti-bot bypass.

  2. Choose a user-approved output path. Infer the format from .png, .jpg/.jpeg, or .pdf, or pass the matching --format explicitly.

  3. Run the client from this skill directory:

    bash
    node scripts/latchshot.mjs capture \
  --url 'https://example.com' \
  --output './artifacts/example.png'

  4. For a bounded full-page screenshot that activates lazy content:

    bash
    node scripts/latchshot.mjs capture \
  --url 'https://example.com' \
  --output './artifacts/example-full.png' \
  --full-page \
  --scroll-page

  5. For a PDF:

    bash
    node scripts/latchshot.mjs capture \
  --url 'https://example.com' \
  --output './artifacts/example.pdf' \
  --paper A4

  6. Parse the one-line JSON result. Confirm ok, output, format, contentType, and bytes; inspect the local artifact when the surrounding task requires visual or document verification. Report the path and relevant render/quota diagnostics without exposing the key.

Run node scripts/latchshot.mjs --help for the exact bounded options. Use --block-ads, --block-trackers, --block-chats, --hide-cookie-banners, and --hide-popups only as best-effort cleanup—not bypass. Use --allow-query only after confirming that the query contains no credential, signature, token, customer data, or other secret. The client refuses to overwrite a file unless --force is explicit.

Read quota

Use the read-only command when the user asks about remaining renders or reset time:

bash
node scripts/latchshot.mjs usage

This does not consume render quota or change a plan.

Failure handling

  • Read the structured error code and message from stderr; do not retry validation or authentication failures.
  • For demo_limit, wait for the hourly reset rather than looping or switching identities.
  • For rate_limited, wait for the reported reset or retry-after boundary rather than looping.
  • For a render failure, state the failure and preserve any existing output file. Do not silently substitute a local browser, a different provider, or unsupported private-page access.
  • Do not initiate an upgrade, checkout, payment, implementation request, or other commercial action. Those remain user- and owner-controlled.

Hard boundaries

Latchshot accepts public pages only and returns one binary artifact. It does not offer raw HTML input, DOM extraction, selectors, sessions, arbitrary JavaScript, authenticated/private pages, CAPTCHA solving, residential proxies, or anti-bot evasion. Only successful renders consume quota.
