At a glance

Capture and visually inspect Qt GUI widgets using screenshots.

  • Works in 4 steps: Create/obtain the widget to test → Call capture_widget(widget, "description") → Read the saved screenshot with the Read… → …
  • Asked to verify GUI rendering
  • SKILL.md covers Quick Start, Core Script, Output Location and Workflow, plus 3 more sections
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder; calls uv

What it does

Qt Testing is an agent skill from talmolab/sleap. Capture and visually inspect Qt GUI widgets using screenshots. Use when asked to verify GUI rendering, test widget appearance, check layouts, or visually inspect any PySide6/Qt component. Enables Claude to "see" Qt interfaces by capturing offscreen screenshots and analyzing them with vision.

Its SKILL.md is about 560 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/qt_capture.py`).

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: A deep learning framework for multi-animal pose tracking.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to verify GUI rendering
  • Test widget appearance
  • Visually inspect any PySide6/Qt component

Example prompts

  • “/qt-testing”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

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

  1. Create/obtain the widget to test
  2. Call capture_widget(widget, "description")
  3. Read the saved screenshot with the Read tool
  4. Analyze with vision to verify correctness

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4786f14. 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/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use uv, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Qt Testing loads about 557 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 113 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
~557

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
Capture and visually inspect Qt GUI widgets using screenshots. Use when asked to verify GUI rendering, test widget appearance, check layouts, or visually inspect any PySide6/Qt component. Enables Claude to "see" Qt interfaces by capturing offscreen screenshots and analyzing them with vision.

Qt GUI Testing

Capture screenshots of Qt widgets for visual inspection without displaying windows on screen.

Quick Start

python
# Capture any widget
from scripts.qt_capture import capture_widget
path = capture_widget(my_widget, "description_here")
# Then read the screenshot with the Read tool

Core Script

Run scripts/qt_capture.py or import capture_widget from it:

bash
# Standalone test
uv run --with PySide6 python .claude/skills/qt-testing/scripts/qt_capture.py

Output Location

All screenshots save to: scratch/.qt-screenshots/

Naming: {YYYY-MM-DD.HH-MM-SS}_{description}.png

Workflow

  1. Create/obtain the widget to test
  2. Call capture_widget(widget, "description")
  3. Read the saved screenshot with the Read tool
  4. Analyze with vision to verify correctness

Interaction Pattern

To interact with widgets (click buttons, etc.):

python
# Find widget at coordinates (from vision analysis)
target = widget.childAt(x, y)

# Trigger it directly (not mouse events)
if hasattr(target, 'click'):
    target.click()
    QApplication.processEvents()

# Capture result
capture_widget(widget, "after_click")

Example: Test a Dialog

python
import sys
from PySide6.QtWidgets import QApplication
from sleap.gui.learning.dialog import TrainingEditorDialog

# Add skill scripts to path
sys.path.insert(0, ".claude/skills/qt-testing")
from scripts.qt_capture import capture_widget, init_qt

app = init_qt()
dialog = TrainingEditorDialog()
path = capture_widget(dialog, "training_dialog")
dialog.close()
print(f"Inspect: {path}")

Key Points

  • Uses Qt.WA_DontShowOnScreen - no window popup
  • Renders identically to on-screen display (verified)
  • Call processEvents() after interactions before capture
  • Use childAt(x, y) to map vision coordinates to widgets
  • Direct method calls (.click()) work; simulated mouse events don't

With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add talmolab/sleap --skill qt-testing -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/qt-testing, .gemini/skills/qt-testing, .github/skills/qt-testing and .opencode/skills/qt-testing in your project.

What does Qt Testing need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Qt Testing needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (uv). Our summary lists: Python 3.

Does Qt Testing access the network?
