## Description

Walk through any existing app (native Mac app with computer use, web app with a browser), screenshot every screen, menu, and dialog, write a screen index, and turn it into user stories. Use when the user wants to clone, rebuild, replace, or copy the design of an app, or says "screenshot every screen".

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# Clone

Output: a folder of screenshots, one index that describes everything the
app shows, and a backlog built from it.

```text
docs/screens/
  INDEX.md
  01-inbox.png
  02-today.png
  ...
docs/STORIES.md      (from the user-stories skill)
```

## 1. Pick the tool

| The app is | Use |
| --- | --- |
| A native Mac app, or Electron | Computer use (`mcp__computer-use__*`) |
| A web app | A browser tool: the built-in browser, Claude in Chrome, or Playwright |

Computer use needs a Pro or Max plan, and Accessibility and Screen
Recording permissions. Claude desktop: Settings > This computer > Enable
computer use. Claude Code CLI: `/mcp` > `computer-use` > Enable. Ask for
access to the reference app only. Browsers are view-only and terminals are
click-only for computer use.

## 2. Agree on privacy

Tell the user you will see everything in the app. Suggest a demo account or
sample data. Look, do not touch: open screens and menus, press Escape to
close dialogs. Type, create, change, or delete only when the user says so.

## 3. Save real files

Computer use screenshots come to you downscaled, not to disk. Save each
screen at full resolution with the script in this skill:

```bash
"${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/window-shot.sh" "<App Name>" docs/screens/01-inbox.png
```

It captures the app's largest window. For menus and popovers outside the
window, use `screencapture -x docs/screens/<name>.png` and note it in the
index. In a browser, use the tool's screenshot with a file path.

## 4. Walk the app in this order
