Overview

This skill finds and displays recent screenshots from common screenshot folders on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It auto-detects likely directories, lists the newest image files, and uses a visual read/display tool so you can inspect screenshots quickly. Use a count argument or specify a custom directory to adapt results to your workflow.

How this skill works

The skill checks platform-specific locations in priority order and picks the first existing directory. It searches that directory (top-level only) for common image file types, sorts results by modification time, and returns the requested number. Each result includes filename, size, modified time, and a visual preview via the Read/display tool.

When to use it

Quickly review the most recent screenshots you or a teammate captured.
Verify UI state or capture evidence after running a test or automation step.
Prepare images for a bug report or design review without opening a file manager.
Confirm that a screenshot was saved to the expected folder.
Fetch screenshots from a custom project directory when using a non-standard workflow.

Best practices

Run with an explicit count, e.g., /screenshot 1, to reduce noise and speed results.
If your screenshots save to a custom location, pass --dir or set a project config to avoid wrong-folder detection.
Keep screenshots in the top-level folder; subdirectories are ignored by default.
Use supported formats (png, jpg, jpeg, gif, webp) to ensure results are found and previewed.
When large images are returned, rely on the Read tool’s automatic resizing for token efficiency.

Example use cases

/screenshot — show the last 5 screenshots to spot recent UI regressions.
/screenshot 1 — pull the single most recent capture for a quick verification.
/screenshot 10 --dir="C:\Custom\Path" — list project screenshots stored outside defaults.
Run before /explain to ask the agent what’s visible in the screenshot.
Use after automated tests to confirm visual diffs or capture evidence for a ticket.

FAQ

Windows checks Pictures\Screenshots, ShareX, Greenshot, OneDrive Pictures, then fallback Pictures. macOS checks Desktop, ~/Screenshots, then Pictures. Linux checks Pictures/Screenshots, Pictures, then Desktop.

What if no directory or images are found?

The skill reports which locations were checked. You can take a screenshot, point to a custom directory with --dir, or create a .claude/screenshot.json project config.
