name: screenshots
description: Sweep NEW screenshots from the owner's macOS Photos library into the vault — capture them to Agent/inbox/ (image files + a stub-manifest inbox item, committed for durability), then triage BY READING each image; valuable content (posts, articles, receipts, bookings, charts, addresses, ideas caught mid-scroll) gets routed into the vault per the ingestion workflow, noise gets dropped. Use when the owner says "digest my screenshots", "process / sweep / pull in my screenshots", "ingest my screenshots", "anything valuable in my recent screenshots?", "check my screenshots for stuff to file", or when an ingestion pass should include fresh screenshots. Runs locally on the machine with the Photos library, not an automation host; read-only against Photos (snapshot-copied DB; images copied out, never moved, nothing altered or deleted); needs macOS Full Disk Access. NOT vault-ingestion for pasted/uploaded content (this one PULLS from Photos), NOT the iMessage reader (different local store), and NOT a photo-library manager. Requires the screenshots module.

# screenshots — folder-root adapter

The real playbook lives in the brain: **`Agent/skills/screenshots.md`** (this folder
is the vault root). Read that file and follow it exactly as written, using the
shipped CLI at `.alexandria/app/.venv/bin/alexandria` wherever it says
`alexandria`, and `.alexandria/app/.venv/bin/python` for
`python -m alexandria_vault.…` entrypoints.

If `Agent/config.json` does not exist, nothing is installed yet — stop and
follow `./CLAUDE.md` (the installer) instead of this skill.
