Programmatic screenshot capture on macOS. Find window IDs with Swift CGWindowListCopyWindowInfo, control application windows via AppleScript (zoom, scroll, select), and capture with screencapture. Use when automating screenshots, capturing application windows for documentation, or building multi-shot visual workflows.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Capture Screen

Programmatic screenshot capture on macOS: find windows, control views, capture images.

## Select observation or foreground control

For an existing view, enumerate and capture the exact window without activating it.
Skip Step 2 when no view change is needed. A window image proves visible content in
that capture, not keyboard focus, input delivery or a successful business action.

Before opening/raising windows, scrolling, selecting, changing zoom or sending keys,
the executing agent checks user activity and other agents' ownership. Use a concrete
task handoff or an existing explicit idle-desktop authorization; under the latter,
coordinate exclusive access and proceed without asking again. Idle input alone is
not ownership. Busy/unknown occupancy or unexpected input stops foreground actions;
continue independent reads and do not restore old focus after human takeover.

Inspect the chosen tool's activation semantics. An app-targeted call or a shell job
running in the background does not prove it preserves focus. A failed capture does
not authorize raising the window, permission changes or switching tools around a
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add daymade/claude-code-skills/capture-screen@sha256:e05deac465839526

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.289158e, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
