preview-shots

Open image shots (screenshots, snapshot baselines, montages, renders) in ONE macOS Preview window so the user can eyeball them. Use when the user asks to open / show / pull up / review shots in Preview or Finder, or right after producing visual artifacts the user should look at before signing off.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by dzhng on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Preview Shots AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/dzhng/skills/tree/main/skills/visual/preview-shots
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/dzhng/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/visual/preview-shots .claude/skills/preview-shots

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Preview Shots in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Preview Shots on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Preview Shots is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Preview Shots

Put the review-worthy images in front of the user in a single Preview window they can flip through.

Workflow

Curate the set — the images that answer "is this right?": the just-changed or just-blessed baselines, the integrated result, and the reference image when there's something to compare against. Don't dump every PNG in the folder; pick the smallest set that lets the user judge the change. If the user named specific shots, open exactly those.
One window — open them with a single open -a Preview <path> <path> ... call. One open invocation lands all the files in one window with a thumbnail sidebar; separate calls spawn separate windows.
Caption them — list one line per shot (what it is) so the user knows what they're flipping through.

Rules

macOS only (open); pass absolute or repo-root-relative paths.
Order the files most-important-first; the first one is what Preview shows on open.
Review saved PNG/GIF artifacts, not live Chrome. Exact regression capture should run headless by default; only open Chrome when the user explicitly asks for a live browser or when reproducing a headful-only bug.
One set at a time — never pile up windows. Before opening a new set, close any open ones: osascript -e 'tell application "Preview" to close every window'.
Close on unattended proceed. When you opened shots for a non-blocking review and then move on without the user's response, close Preview afterward: osascript -e 'quit app "Preview"'. An overnight autonomous run must never wake the user to a wall of Preview windows — at most one set open, and none once you've proceeded past the checkpoint.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Preview Shots AI skill do?

Why use Preview Shots on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Preview Shots is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Preview Shots in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/dzhng/skills/tree/main/skills/visual/preview-shots. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Preview Shots?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Preview Shots?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Preview Shots with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Preview Shots AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by dzhng under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
