What it does

Visual Edit Precision is an agent skill from wshobson/agents. Use when making UI/frontend changes guided by visual context, when the user selects elements visually, draws annotations, or provides screenshots alongside change requests. Also use when editing components where spatial context (element identity, DOM references, layout data) supplements text instructions.

Its SKILL.md is about 550 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 Frontend & Design. The repository describes itself as: Multi-harness agentic plugin marketplace for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, GitHub Copilot, Google Antigravity, and Pi. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Making UI/frontend changes guided by visual context
  • The user selects elements visually
  • Draws annotations
  • Provides screenshots alongside change requests

Example prompts

  • “/visual-edit-precision”

Workflow steps

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

  1. IDENTIFY - What exact element(s) were indicated? Which component file owns them?
  2. SCOPE - Change ONLY what was pointed at. Don't refactor surrounding code.
  3. PRESERVE - Keep existing styles, classes, and behavior. Only modify what was asked.
  4. TARGETED - Make the minimal CSS/markup change that achieves the visual result.
  5. VERIFY - Confirm the change renders correctly without side effects.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 46891e7. 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.

    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

Visual Edit Precision loads about 547 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 250 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~547

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.

Visual Edit Precision

Overview

When visual context accompanies a change request (element selections, annotations, screenshots), make targeted, minimal edits. Precision over ambition: change exactly what was indicated, preserve everything else.

Process

When visual context is provided:

  1. IDENTIFY - What exact element(s) were indicated? Which component file owns them?
  2. SCOPE - Change ONLY what was pointed at. Don't refactor surrounding code.
  3. PRESERVE - Keep existing styles, classes, and behavior. Only modify what was asked.
  4. TARGETED - Make the minimal CSS/markup change that achieves the visual result.
  5. VERIFY - Confirm the change renders correctly without side effects.

Key Principles

Precision Over Ambition

Visual context gives a SPECIFIC element. Don't:

  • Refactor the entire component when only one style was requested
  • Change the component's API when only its appearance was pointed at
  • Touch logic when only visuals were selected

Do:

  • Find the exact file and line for the selected element
  • Make the minimal edit that achieves the described visual change
  • Preserve all existing behavior, event handlers, accessibility
Multiple Edits

When multiple visual edits arrive:

  • Each targets its own element independently
  • Don't wait for one to finish before processing another
  • If two edits conflict (same element, different requests), handle the most recent

Common Mistakes

  • Rewriting an entire component when the user pointed at one button
  • Changing global config when only one element's color needs adjusting
  • Breaking responsive behavior by adding fixed widths to match a selection
  • Ignoring specificity (user indicated ONE card, agent changed ALL cards)
  • Removing accessibility attributes (aria-*, role, tabindex) during visual edits
