iOS Screen Capture Tool — Agent Contract

Use this skill for one job: capture a real iOS screenshot and analyze that image.

Mandatory Execution Rules

Check running state first (MUST): before launching, check whether IosScreenCaptureTool is already running.
Do not start a second copy (MUST NOT): if running, reuse it and continue.
Only launch when not running (MUST): if not running, start it once and wait until ready.
Capture with --capture-frame (MUST): write to a unique .png path.
Validate capture (MUST): require success exit code and fresh file (exists, size > 10 KB, recent timestamp).
Two-agent sequence (MUST): Agent A captures; Agent B analyzes the same PNG as image context input.
No OCR/text handoff (MUST NOT): do not pass text extraction, summaries, or interpretations as primary input.

Recommended Agent A Script (PowerShell)

$exe = ".\IosScreenCaptureTool.exe"
$out = ".\screenshots\frame-$((Get-Date).ToString('yyyyMMdd-HHmmss')).png"

# 1) MUST check existing process before launch
$running = Get-Process -Name "IosScreenCaptureTool" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if (-not $running) {
	# Launch only when not already running
	Start-Process -FilePath $exe
	Start-Sleep -Seconds 2
}

# 2) Capture one frame
& $exe --capture-frame $out
if ($LASTEXITCODE -ne 0) { throw "capture failed (exit $LASTEXITCODE)" }

# 3) Validate output freshness
$img = Get-Item $out -ErrorAction Stop
if ($img.Length -lt 10000) { throw "capture looks invalid: $($img.FullName)" }

"IMAGE_READY $($img.FullName)"

Agent B Input Contract

Input must be the PNG produced by Agent A (IMAGE_READY <path>).
Analyze pixels from the image context directly.
Do not substitute OCR/text output for the image.
