SeparateWeb Capture
Use this skill when the user asks:
separateweb capture <url>
npx separateweb-capture capture <url>
separateweb patch <path>
Use npx when the package is not linked globally. This is the safest default for Claude Code personal skills:
npx separateweb-capture capture <url>
npx separateweb-capture patch <path>
Use separateweb-capture with no capture command only to install the local skill payload:
npx separateweb-capture
npx separateweb-capture --target claude
npx separateweb-capture --target both
If separateweb is installed or linked globally, this shorthand is also valid:
separateweb capture <url>
separateweb patch <path>
If running from the plugin root, the local script is also valid:
node scripts/capture.mjs capture <url>
node scripts/capture.mjs patch <path>
Optional flags:
--out <dir>
--path <dir>
--width <px>
--height <px>
--max-pages <n>
--single
--all
Capture behavior:
capture https://example.com and capture https://example.com/ crawl same-origin paths by default.
capture https://example.com --single captures only the home page.
capture https://example.com/path captures only that page by default.
- Use
--single to force one page.
- Use
--all to force same-origin crawl from any start URL.
- Captured items are grouped by type under
items/<kind>/.
Examples:
npx separateweb-capture capture https://domain.com
npx separateweb-capture capture https://domain.com --single
npx separateweb-capture capture https://domain.com/about
npx separateweb-capture capture https://domain.com/about --all
Patch selection:
npx separateweb-capture patch /absolute/output/path
npx separateweb-capture select captures/<jobId>/manifest.json
npx separateweb-capture create captures/<jobId>/manifest.json --items 1,3,5 --path /absolute/output/path
Use patch <path> to set the default machine path where future capture outputs are written. Use create only when exporting selected items from an existing manifest.
Default output:
captures/<jobId>/site-manifest.json
captures/<jobId>/page-001-<slug>/full-page.png
captures/<jobId>/page-001-<slug>/manifest.json
captures/<jobId>/page-001-<slug>/items/<kind>/*.png
Single-page capture writes full-page.png, manifest.json, and items/<kind>/*.png directly under captures/<jobId>/.
After running, report:
Captured
Manifest
