Example session with this skill installed
I need to take a screenshot of every single Space and monitor I have open right now to document my workflow.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the mac screendumps
Terminal output from a real run on a two-display Mac - a 3440x1440 ultrawide as the main display and a 1280x1024 secondary - with 16 virtual desktops on each:
Found 2 displays.
Capture method: screencapture -R
-- Screen 1 3440x1440 (main display) --
16 desktops according to the system
. Screen 1 - Desktop 1.png
. Screen 1 - Desktop 2.png
... through Desktop 16
-- Screen 2 1280x1024 --
16 desktops according to the system
. Screen 2 - Desktop 1.png
... through Desktop 16
-- Check --
Screen 1: 16 images of 16 known desktops ok
Screen 2: 16 images of 16 known desktops ok
Result: 32 PNG files plus _diagnostics.txt in ScreenDumps/2026-08-21 20.26.46/, about 60 MB, produced in just under two minutes. Both displays were returned to the desktop they started on.

About this skill
The problem
macOS prevents apps from capturing any virtual desktop (Space) that is not currently visible. Standard screenshot tools only grab the active screen, forcing you to switch to each desktop and snap it by hand, one at a time.
What it does
- Walks every Space on every connected display and captures each one as it becomes visible.
- Names files by position: Screen 1 - Desktop 1.png through Screen 2 - Desktop 16.png. Full-screen apps own their own Space and are numbered separately as Fullscreen 1, 2, matching how Mission Control treats them.
- Activates the correct display before each walk. The desktop-switch shortcut follows keyboard focus, not the pointer, which is why a naive script captures the second monitor's first desktop sixteen times.
- Tries five capture methods at startup, including CoreGraphics directly, and keeps whichever actually writes a file. The screencapture tool behaves differently across macOS versions and can report success while producing nothing.
- Hashes every image and signs every display with the window IDs on it. If neither changes, the desktop did not switch, so nothing is written and the display is reported as stuck instead of filling the folder with copies.
- Returns each display to the desktop it started on, where macOS reports that reliably.
What you get
A single double-clickable .command file with a documented settings block at the top - output folder, image format, delays, whether to include full-screen apps - plus a SKILL.md that tells your agent how to install, run and troubleshoot it, and a symptom-by-symptom troubleshooting reference. It installs nothing, downloads nothing, and uses only tools that ship with macOS. MIT licensed.
When something goes wrong
Every run ends with a per-display check - Screen 1: 16 images of 16 known desktops, ok - and writes a diagnostics log recording the macOS version, which capture method won, what the others reported, and how many Spaces each display claimed. That file usually names the cause outright.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
macOS provides no public API for switching Spaces, so the job has to be done by driving the keyboard and verifying the result afterwards. The hard part is not taking the screenshots. It is the permission requirements, the display focus logic, and knowing when a switch silently failed.
