  • Works in 3 steps: 调用此工具截图 → 获取返回的 file_path → 用 deliver_artifacts 发送给用户

What it does

Desktop Screenshot is an agent skill from openakita/openakita. Capture Windows desktop screenshot with automatic file saving. When you need to show desktop state, capture application windows, or record operation results. IMPORTANT - must actually call this tool, never say 'screenshot done' without calling. Returns filepath for deliverartifacts.

Its SKILL.md is about 290 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

The repository describes itself as: An open-source AI assistant framework with skills and agent architecture. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

Example prompts

  • “screenshot done”
  • “/desktop-screenshot”

Workflow steps

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

  1. 调用此工具截图
  2. 获取返回的 file_path
  3. 用 deliver_artifacts 发送给用户

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5f5b38d. 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 json).

    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

Desktop Screenshot loads about 294 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 56 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~294

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.
