## Description

macOS screen capture, window recording, GIF conversion, and agent evidence bundles from the terminal. Built on ScreenCaptureKit for window-level targeting ffmpeg cannot do. Use when the user wants a screenshot of a specific window or app, a screen recording, a GIF conversion, a before/after diff, an evidence bundle for a PR, OCR text from a window, a terminal VHS recording, a Remotion render, or wants to watch a UI for changes. Requires macOS Screen Recording permission on first run.

# Agent Capture - Printing Press CLI

## Prerequisites: Install the CLI

This skill drives the `agent-capture-pp-cli` binary. **You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill.** If it is missing, install it first:

1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to `$HOME/.local/bin` on macOS/Linux and `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin` on Windows:
   ```bash
   npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install agent-capture --cli-only
   ```
2. Verify: `agent-capture-pp-cli --version`
3. Ensure the reported install directory is on `$PATH` for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.

If the `npx` install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer):

```bash
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/developer-tools/agent-capture/cmd/agent-capture-pp-cli@latest
```

If `--version` reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on `$PATH`. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.
