Which operating systems are supported by the Screenshot skill?

The skill supports macOS (via Python and Swift helpers), Linux (using scrot, gnome-screenshot, or ImageMagick), and Windows (via PowerShell scripts).

Where are the captured images saved?

Images can be saved to a user-specified path, the OS default screenshot folder, or a temporary directory for internal visual inspection by the AI.

How does the skill handle macOS Screen Recording permissions?

It includes a dedicated preflight helper script that checks for necessary permissions and requests them in one go to reduce repeated sandbox prompts during operation.

Can Claude capture a specific window instead of the entire desktop?

Yes, on macOS you can target specific apps or window names. On Linux and Windows, you can capture the active window or provide a specific window ID/handle.

设计工具

Capture high-quality system screenshots, specific application windows, or pixel regions across macOS, Linux, and Windows.

The Screenshot Capture skill provides Claude Code with robust cross-platform desktop inspection capabilities. It allows the agent to 'see' and analyze running applications, UI layouts, and system states by executing optimized capture scripts for macOS, Linux, and Windows. With features like automated macOS permission handling, window-specific targeting, and coordinate-based region selection, it is an essential tool for visual debugging, frontend UI audits, and validating implementation against design specifications.
