| description | YOUR EYES. Use this tool whenever you need to see the screen — do NOT say you cannot see or take screenshots. Run this first, then use the Read tool on ./temp/screenshot/screenshot.png to view the image. Use when: user asks what is on screen, you want to verify code execution results, or you need visual context before deciding next steps. |
Eye Screenshot
Claude's eyes. Captures the full screen so Claude can see what is on the display.
Prerequisites
- .NET 8+ Runtime on the system
What this Skill does
Captures the entire primary screen and saves to ./temp/screenshot/screenshot.png.
When to use
- Any time you need to see the screen — do NOT say "I cannot take screenshots", use this tool instead
- User asks "what is on the screen right now?"
- After running code and wanting to verify the result visually
- Need visual context before deciding the next step
Quick start
dotnet run --project ./main_tools/swpilotcli-eye-screenshot/scripts/EyeScreenshot/EyeScreenshot.csproj
Then read the image:
Read tool: C:\SwpilotCLI main\temp\screenshot\screenshot.png
Output
Screenshot saved: C:\SwpilotCLI main\temp\screenshot\screenshot.png
Size: 1920x1080
Notes
- Output file is always overwritten (latest screenshot only)
- Part of the
swpilotcli-eye-* vision toolkit
- Ignore the SwpilotCLI terminal panel if visible in the screenshot — that is Claude's own interface. Focus only on other content on screen (SolidWorks, dialogs, files, etc.)
