Give me one minute, and I’ll improve your Claude Code experience immediately.
This is the first skill I built.
And it’s the skill I use most often.
*drumroll*
It’s a SCREENSHOT skill. And honestly, I’m shocked Anthropic hasn’t built this functionality into Claude Code itself.
Claude has access 🔑
But Claude needs EYES 👁️
Here’s what you’re going to do:
1. locate what folder all your screenshots go to (and if it’s your desktop, you’re a maniac, change it). Mine goes to a folder on my desktop called “organized screenshots”
2. prompt Claude Code with the following:
Build me a skill called ‘/ss’ that lists out the files in <screenshots folder path> from newest to oldest, and grabs the newest. This is how I will speak to you visually. I also want an argument for the screenshot count - if I type ‘/ss 4’, you should grab the four most recent screenshots in that folder. If I type no number after ‘ss’ then only grab the most recent screenshot. Then, whatever follows after that argument is the action I want you to take. ‘/ss huh’ means I need you to explain the screenshots’ content to me. ‘/ss 3 make infographic plz’ means I need you to grab the last 3 screenshots and use their content to make me a unified infographic. ‘/ss fix’ likely means that I’m screenshotting an error message in code we’re building out and I need you to understand the error message, figure out the bug, and edit the code to fix it. Or, if we’re in the middle of a front end design project, it might mean the design has an error (like overlapping text) to fix. ‘/ss do this’ likely means that I screenshotted a smart thing someone did online and I want us to learn from it and do the same and remix it so it’s the most goal-oriented outcome for me based on what you know about me
1. let it build you the skill
2. go on LinkedIn
3. scroll through your feed and screenshot one thing you find valuable
4. open a new terminal and prompt Claude with “/ss” + “do this” or “explain” or “turn this into an infographic”
5. enjoy - you just gave Claude eyes 🎉
Let me know how it goes. Again, this is my most used Claude Code skill by a landslide and easily saves me an hour a week.
