Organize Screenshots

Scan for recent screenshots, visually classify them, and organize with descriptive names.

Preferences

Read ~/.claude/skills/organize-screenshots/preferences.md using the Read tool. If not found, no preferences are set.

Context

On startup, use Bash to detect: current git branch and count recent screenshots in the source folder (default ~/Desktop). Skip any that fail.

Command routing

Check $ARGUMENTS:

• help → display help then stop
• config → interactive setup then stop
• reset → delete ~/.claude/skills/organize-screenshots/preferences.md, confirm, stop
• anything else → process screenshots

Flags

Parse from $ARGUMENTS:

• --source <dir> — override source folder (default: ~/Desktop or preference)
• --days <N> — look back N days (default: 3 or preference)
• --move — move instead of copy
• --all — skip classification, take everything
• Remaining text — target directory

Help

Screenshots — Scan, classify, and organize screenshots

Usage:
  /organize-screenshots <target-dir>                     Scan Desktop, organize into target
  /organize-screenshots <target-dir> --source ~/Downloads Scan specific folder
  /organize-screenshots <target-dir> --days 1             Only last 24 hours
  /organize-screenshots <target-dir> --move               Move instead of copy
  /organize-screenshots <target-dir> --all                Skip classification, take all
  /organize-screenshots config                            Set defaults
  /organize-screenshots reset                             Clear preferences
  /organize-screenshots help                              This help

Examples:
  /organize-screenshots ./docs/images
  /organize-screenshots ./pr-assets --days 1
  /organize-screenshots ~/bug-report --source ~/Downloads --move

What it does:
  1. Finds recent screenshots in source folder
  2. Visually reviews each one (reads the image)
  3. Classifies: relevant to current work or not
  4. Suggests descriptive filenames
  5. Copies (or moves) to target with new names

Current preferences:
  (shown above under Preferences)

Config

Use AskUserQuestion:

Q1 — "Default source folder?" (~/Desktop (default), ~/Downloads, custom path) Q2 — "Lookback days?" (1 day, 3 days (default), 7 days) Q3 — "Default action?" (Copy (default), Move) Q4 — "Naming style?" (descriptive — feature-what-it-shows (default), timestamp — YYYY-MM-DD-description, sequential — 01-description)

Save to ~/.claude/skills/organize-screenshots/preferences.md.

First-time detection

If no preferences file exists, show: "First time using /organize-screenshots? Run /organize-screenshots config to set source folder and defaults, or continue — scanning ~/Desktop for the last 3 days."

Then proceed.

Steps

1. Identify work context

Read context to understand what's relevant:

• Current branch name and recent commits (from pre-injected context)
• CLAUDE.md if present (for project/feature names)
• Any files discussed in current conversation

Build a mental model of what screenshots to look for.

2. Find screenshots

Scan source folder for images modified within lookback period:

find {source} -maxdepth 1 -type f \( -name "*.png" -o -name "*.jpg" -o -name "*.jpeg" -o -name "*.webp" \) -mtime -{days}

If none found → inform user, stop. If >20 found → ask if user wants to narrow time range or proceed.

3. Visual review

For each image:

1. Read the image using Read tool (multimodal)
2. Classify: Is it related to current work context?
   • Related: shows project UI, relevant code, error messages, terminal output matching current work
   • Unrelated: random browser tabs, personal content, unrelated apps
3. Describe if relevant: generate a short descriptive filename

If --all flag, skip classification — include everything.

4. Present findings

Found {N} screenshots in {source} from the last {days} days.
{M} appear related to current work:

  1. Screenshot 2026-02-17 at 11.19.00 AM.png
     → {descriptive-name}.png
     Shows: {brief description}

  2. Screenshot 2026-02-17 at 11.24.00 AM.png
     → {descriptive-name}.png
     Shows: {brief description}

  Skipped {K} unrelated screenshots.

Use AskUserQuestion to confirm:

• "Organize these screenshots?" (Approve all, Exclude specific ones, Include skipped ones, Cancel)

5. Organize

Create target directory:

mkdir -p {target}

Copy (or move) each approved screenshot. Important: macOS screenshot filenames contain a Unicode narrow no-break space (U+202F) before AM/PM. Always use find with timestamp wildcards:

# CORRECT — use find with wildcards:
find {source} -maxdepth 1 -name "*2026-02-17*11.19*" -exec cp {} "{target}/{descriptive-name}.png" \;

# WRONG — will fail due to Unicode:
cp "Screenshot 2026-02-17 at 11.19.00 AM.png" dest/name.png

6. Naming convention

{context}-{what-it-shows}.{ext}

• All lowercase, hyphens as separators
• Context first (feature, page, component), then what's shown
• No dates or timestamps in filename (unless timestamp naming style preference)
• Under 60 characters
• Preserve original extension

Examples:

• settings-page-form-validation.png
• api-error-500-response.png
• dashboard-metrics-overview.png
• terminal-test-failures.png

7. Report

Organized {M} screenshots:

  {target}/
  ├── {name-1}.png
  ├── {name-2}.png
  └── {name-3}.png

  Originals: {preserved in source / moved}

Next steps:
  1. Review in {target}/
  2. Upload to PR, Linear, or docs as needed

8. Learn

If user renames files after organizing, note the naming pattern. If user changes source folder, save preference.

Principles

• Always copy by default — originals stay. User decides when to delete.
• Ask before acting — present classification, get confirmation before copying.
• Be conservative — when in doubt, include and let user exclude.
• Respect privacy — skip screenshots with personal info, don't describe their contents.
