rey-screenshot

What This Skill Does

The rey-screenshot skill empowers your OpenClaw agent to autonomously capture visual snapshots of web interfaces, local dashboards, and terminal environments. Designed specifically for content creation and technical documentation, this skill leverages browser automation to generate high-fidelity images of websites or specific elements, ensuring that your agent can document its own development progress or external web assets efficiently. It includes intelligent support for various platform-specific viewport dimensions, allowing for seamless integration into social media workflows (X/Twitter, Instagram, etc.) or professional documentation suites.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw management utility. Ensure you have the imagemagick dependency installed on your host system if you plan to perform advanced post-processing like auto-cropping or image optimization. Run the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/sa9saq/rey-screenshot

Use Cases

• Automated Documentation: Generate step-by-step visual guides for README files by triggering captures after specific agent actions.
• Social Media Marketing: Proactively share updates on X or Instagram regarding new agent features or dashboard milestones by automating the capture and resizing process.
• Before-and-After Comparisons: Document bug fixes and UI improvements by capturing states before and after code execution for internal tracking.
• Dashboard Monitoring: Create visual audit logs of local service health by taking periodic snapshots of localhost monitoring panels.

Example Prompts

1. "Rey, capture the hero section of our landing page at example.com and save it for an X post."
2. "Please take a full-page screenshot of my current dashboard at localhost:3000 and save it in the archive directory."
3. "Open the documentation page for our current project and take a screenshot optimized for an Instagram Story format."

Tips & Limitations

Always exercise caution when capturing terminal windows, as they may unintentionally reveal environment variables or API keys. The skill includes built-in security guidelines to ensure that sensitive data is redacted before any sharing occurs. Note that while the tool handles standard web captures, complex dynamic elements dependent on specific user sessions (like logged-in user profile pages) require that the browser agent has active credentials already authorized. For best results, use standard aspect ratios provided in the documentation to avoid skewed images during manual post-processing.
