Skill instructions
Screenshot Capture Follow these save-location rules every time: 1) If the user specifies a path, save there. 2) If the user asks for a screenshot without a path, save to the OS default screenshot location. 3) If Codex needs a screenshot for its own inspection, save to the temp directory. Tool priority - Prefer tool-specific screenshot capabilities when available (for example: a Figma MCP/skill for Figma files, or Playwright/agent-browser tools for browsers and Electron apps). - Use this skill when explicitly asked, for whole-system desktop captures, or when a tool-specific capture cannot get what you need. - Otherwise, treat this skill as the default for desktop apps without a better-integrated capture tool. macOS permission preflight (reduce repeated prompts) On macOS, run the preflight helper once before window/app capture. It checks Screen Recording permission, explains why it is needed, and requests it in one place. The helpers route Swift's module cache to $TMPDIR/codex-swift-modu
