Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a devops skill usually runs commands, installs tools and uses cloud credentials.

Captures the user's macOS screen, a window, or a region with the built-in `screencapture` CLI, then reads the image so the agent can see what the user sees. Use it when the user asks to check how a native macOS app looks (SwiftUI, AppKit, Electron, Qt, Tk, Java Swing), verify a window rendered correctly after a build or code change, diagnose a visual bug they describe in a desktop app, confirm a menu, dialog, or layout state, or asks "can you see this?" about anything outside a browser, even if…

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'screencapture-mac' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'screencapture-mac' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named screencapture-mac already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/BretFisher/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '73c7ca51f35a080943e66554346d9d2150ed1e29' -- 'plugins/utils/skills/screencapture-mac' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/utils/skills/screencapture-mac' ~/.agents/skills/'screencapture-mac' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'screencapture-mac' ~/.claude/skills/'screencapture-mac' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
