Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned openai/skills at 49f948faa9.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to take screenshots of the user's desktop or specific regions. It can capture the full screen, a particular application window, or a defined rectangular area on the display. This capability is useful when visual documentation or demonstration is required and other specialized tools are not available.

When to use it

  • A user needs a visual record of an error message displayed on their screen.
  • You need to demonstrate how to navigate a specific application interface.
  • The user wants to share the contents of a particular window with you for assistance.
  • Capturing a pixel region is needed to illustrate a visual issue or highlight a detail.

Key capabilities

  • Full-screen screenshot capture
  • Screenshot capture of specific application windows
  • Region-based screenshot capture (defined rectangular area)
  • OS-level screenshot functionality

Example prompts

  • "Can you take a screenshot of my entire desktop?"
  • "Please capture the window for 'Microsoft Word'."
  • "Take a screenshot of the top left corner of my screen, from x=100 to x=300 and y=50 to y=200."

Tips & gotchas

The agent's ability to accurately target specific windows depends on their titles and visibility. Ensure that the application window is visible and has a clear title for reliable capture.
