What This Skill Does

Enables Claude to take screenshots, extract text from the screen via OCR, and capture webcam images for visual analysis using peekaboo and camsnap.

Available CLI Tools

peekaboo — Screenshots & OCR

# Take a full screenshot and save to file
peekaboo screenshot --output ~/Desktop/screen.png

# Take screenshot and extract all text via OCR
peekaboo ocr

# OCR a specific region (x, y, width, height)
peekaboo ocr --region 0,0,1280,720

# Screenshot a specific window by app name
peekaboo screenshot --app "Safari" --output window.png

# Screenshot and pipe to stdout for immediate analysis
peekaboo screenshot --stdout

camsnap — Webcam Capture

# Capture a single webcam frame
camsnap --output ~/Desktop/photo.jpg

# Capture with a specific camera device
camsnap --device 0 --output shot.jpg

# Capture and print file path
camsnap --output /tmp/cam.jpg && echo "Saved"

Usage Guidelines

  • Use peekaboo ocr when the user wants text extracted from the screen
  • Use camsnap only when the user explicitly wants a webcam image
  • After capturing, read the image file to analyze its contents visually

Notes

  • macOS screen recording permission required for peekaboo
  • Camera permission required for camsnap
  • OCR accuracy depends on font size and screen resolution
