Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

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

The screenshot skill enables AI agents to capture and share visual data from their environment. It allows for the extraction of screen content, which can be useful in scenarios where visual context is necessary for analysis or reporting.

When to use it

  • To document a process visually during troubleshooting or training sessions.
  • For capturing UI elements or error messages that are difficult to describe textually.
  • When providing feedback on a user interface design or layout.

Key capabilities

  • Capture screenshots of the current screen or specific regions.
  • Save and share captured images for later review or analysis.
  • Integrate with other tools for further processing or documentation.

Example prompts

  • "Take a screenshot of the error message I just saw."
  • "Capture the current dashboard view and save it as a PNG file."
  • "Document the steps by taking screenshots at each stage."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure you have permission to capture and share any visual content, especially in sensitive or private environments.
  • Be aware of system limitations that may affect screenshot quality or functionality on certain platforms.
