Captures before/after screenshots of web pages or elements for visual comparison. Use when user says "take before and after", "screenshot comparison", "visual diff", "PR screenshots", "compare old and new", or needs to document UI changes. Accepts two URLs (file://, http://, https://) or two image paths.

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

# Before-After Screenshot Skill

> **Package:** `@vercel/before-and-after`
> Never use `before-and-after` (wrong package).

## Agent Behavior Rules

**DO NOT:**
- Switch branches or stash another task's changes. Use an isolated worktree for
  any baseline server already authorized by the task.
- Use `--full` unless user explicitly asks for full page / full scroll capture

**DO:**
- Use `--markdown` when user wants PR integration or markdown output
- Use `--mobile` / `--tablet` if user mentions phone, mobile, tablet, responsive, etc.
- Reuse before captures, baseline URLs, and revision information already
  established in the task. Confirm that they show the relevant behavior and
  match the after capture's viewport and starting state.
- Treat the current state as after only when the task context establishes it.
  If the before state remains ambiguous after checking available context, ask
  for the missing baseline. Do not ask again for a URL when a valid image pair
  or earlier baseline is already available.

## Capture and delivery

1. Use an installed `before-and-after` CLI or `npx @vercel/before-and-after`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add michaelshimeles/skills/before-and-after@sha256:df52809f5ac11adb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.69558ea, 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.
