Use when you need to see what is on the user's screen — e.g. to verify a UI state, inspect a visual result, or confirm on-screen output — and cannot automate the action yourself. Do NOT use for tmux windows, panes, or panels — use tmux-monitor instead.

mkdir --parents "${peek_dir}"

Announce the full path(s) to the user before taking any screenshot. Tell the user:
Wait for confirmation before proceeding — unless the user mentions "other screen" or "second monitor".
After the user confirms (or mentions multiple monitors), run:
xrandr --query | grep ' connected'
Each geometry is WxH+X+Y. Convert to scrot's -a X,Y,W,H format when targeting a specific monitor.
Single monitor:
scrot "${peek_path}"
Multiple monitors — capture one screenshot per monitor:
scrot -a 0,0,1920,1080 "${peek_dir}/${peek_seq}_<description>_screen1.png"
scrot -a 1920,0,2560,1440 "${peek_dir}/${peek_seq}_<description>_screen2.png"
Use --delay 3 only when the user needs time to switch focus first.
--geometryis not supported on all scrot versions; always use-a X,Y,W,H.
Open every screenshot in VS Code, then use the Read tool to inspect each image visually.
code "${peek_path}"
If multiple monitors were captured, tell the user which screens were found and guess which one they're likely looking at based on content.
Describe what you see and proceed with the task. For subsequent captures, skip monitor detection — reuse the same monitor and increment the sequence counter.
sudo apt install --yes scrot
Read HANDOFF.md and continue from where we left off
Use when ending a session, completing a milestone, or stopping mid-task and context must be preserved for the next agent
Use when organizing raw content into slide-ready format, or when the user says "prepare slides", "structure this for a presentation", "brief for pptx".
Use when the user shares a URL or article and asks to extract key learnings, summarize topics, or generate a digest formatted for Google Chat, Slack, Discord, Telegram, or similar messaging tools. Accepts an optional format parameter.
Use when working with Kubernetes clusters, manifests, and related tasks.
Use when writing a CV, bio, LinkedIn post, or talk abstract for Silvio; when calibrating technical recommendations to Silvio's experience ("do I have experience with X?"); or when an introduction or speaker section is needed. Loads timeline, stack, credentials, and preferences on demand via the pointer table.
