Screenshot Capture

Purpose

Capture screenshots of the desktop, an app, a window, or a region with the right save location.

Routing

  • Use when: Use when the user explicitly asks for a screenshot, for whole-system desktop captures, or when a tool-specific capture cannot get what you need.
  • Do not use when: Do not use when a better-integrated screenshot tool is available for the requested surface, or when the request is unrelated to visual capture.
  • Outputs: Saved screenshot path(s) plus a brief capture note when needed.
  • Success criteria: Returns the saved screenshot path(s), uses the requested save location, and follows the platform-specific capture workflow without inventing unavailable tools.

Trigger Examples

Positive

  • Take a screenshot of this app window.
  • Capture the full desktop and save it to a file.
  • Take a screenshot of Codex and put it in temp.
  • Use Screenshot Capture for this desktop capture.

Negative

  • Summarize this text without taking a screenshot.
  • Write a plan for a capture workflow.
  • This is a browser-only automation task with a better tool available.
  • This request does not involve any visual capture.

Runtime Prompt

  • Current runtime prompt length: defined directly in `../screenshot-capture.json`.
  • Detailed save-location rules and command patterns live in `references/full-guidance.md`.
