What it does

Screenshot is an agent skill from shepherdjerred/monorepo. Boot a fresh isolated dev server for a package, drive a real Chrome instance via PinchTab to a route, and capture a screenshot — the happy-path way to visually verify a frontend change in this monorepo.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Development, covering Monorepo tooling. The repository describes itself as: Monorepo for all of my projects. The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Monorepo tooling

Example prompts

  • “/screenshot”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit da14ae9. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read

    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

Screenshot loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 436 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Bash, Read

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.

Screenshot Skill

Visually verify a frontend change without a manual browser session: boots a package's dev server (a fresh, isolated one on its fixed port — never reused), drives a real PinchTab-controlled Chrome tab to a route, screenshots it, and cleans up after itself.

Prerequisite: PinchTab must already be running (pinchtab health). See the pinchtab-helper skill for setup — this tool is a thin wrapper around the pinchtab CLI, not a new browser-automation stack.

Commands

bash
toolkit screenshot <package> [route] [options]
toolkit screenshot --list          # print the registry
OptionMeaning
--out <path>Output PNG path (default: a tmp path, printed)
--wait-for-selector <s>CSS selector to poll for before capturing (default: fixed settle delay)
--timeout <ms>Default 60000
--discord-id <id>Authenticate as this Discord ID, for packages that require it (e.g. scout-app); defaults to a fake test user. Pass the real owner ID to see owner-gated UI.
--env KEY=VALUERepeatable; passes env vars to the spawned dev server (e.g. VITE_CONTRACT_HASH=…)
--viewport <WxH>e.g. 1280x800
--theme <light|dark>CSS prefers-color-scheme emulation
--full-pageCapture the full scrollable page, not just the viewport
--jsonMachine-readable {path, url, durationMs}

Registry

Zero-auth packages (packages/toolkit/src/lib/screenshot/catalog.ts): sjer-red, stocks-sjer-red, cooklang-rich-preview, better-skill-capped, scout-marketing, mario-kart-frontend, pokemon-frontend.

Auth-gated: scout-app (packages/scout-for-lol) — boots the full dev:web stack (backend + Vite) and signs in via the backend's /api/dev/login dev-only route (registered only when environment=dev AND ENABLE_DEV_LOGIN=true, which dev:web sets — so it never ships enabled to beta/prod) instead of a real Discord OAuth click-through.

Explicitly out of scope (different tooling needed, not attempted here): tasks-for-obsidian (React Native/Metro — needs a simulator/device).

Examples

bash
# Plain zero-auth package
toolkit screenshot stocks-sjer-red /

# Scout's authenticated web app, as a specific (real) Discord user
toolkit screenshot scout-app /app/ --discord-id 160509172704739328

# Dark mode, custom viewport, wait for content before capturing
toolkit screenshot sjer-red /blog --theme dark --viewport 1440x900 \
  --wait-for-selector "article"

Limitations (v1)

  • No network-response mocking. PinchTab has no request-interception primitive comparable to Playwright's page.route(), so this tool can show what a route currently renders authenticated as a given user — it cannot fake a backend response to force an otherwise-unreachable state. If a screenshot needs a specific backend-driven state that can't occur locally (e.g. a genuine version-hash mismatch between frontend and backend), the practical path is a PinchTab profile with a real login against the actual deployed environment showing that state, not this tool.
  • Setup cost: PinchTab itself must be running and configured (pinchtab-helper skill) — this tool does not install or launch the PinchTab daemon.
  • One server per port. A fresh spawn binds the package's fixed expectedPort; if that port is already in use (another dev server, or a shared-port sibling like the other :4321 sites) the tool fails fast with an actionable message rather than auto-bumping to an unknown port and risking a screenshot of the wrong app. Stop the other server (or screenshot that one) and retry.

One-time setup

bash
pinchtab health   # confirms the daemon is reachable; see pinchtab-helper skill if not

No new dependency is installed by this tool — it shells out to the pinchtab binary already on the machine, the same way toolkit pr shells out to gh.

Boot a fresh isolated dev server for a package, drive a real Chrome instance via PinchTab to a route, and capture a screenshot — the happy-path way to visually verify a frontend change in this monorepo.

When should I use Screenshot?

Screenshot fits situations like: tasks that involve Monorepo tooling.

How do I install Screenshot in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add shepherdjerred/monorepo --skill screenshot -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (packages/toolkit/skills/screenshot in shepherdjerred/monorepo) into .claude/skills/screenshot in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Screenshot in Codex?

Run `npx skills add shepherdjerred/monorepo --skill screenshot -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (packages/toolkit/skills/screenshot in shepherdjerred/monorepo) into .agents/skills/screenshot in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Screenshot in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add shepherdjerred/monorepo --skill screenshot -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/screenshot, .gemini/skills/screenshot, .github/skills/screenshot and .opencode/skills/screenshot in your project.

What does Screenshot need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Screenshot is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash, Read.

Does Screenshot access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Screenshot safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Screenshot use?

Screenshot is published under the GPL-3.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Screenshot use?

About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.5k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
