FAQ
Agent Skills FAQ
Practical answers for choosing, installing, and using your first skill.
How do I install and start using Capture desktop screenshots?
Download the complete ZIP and keep the screenshot folder and supporting files together. For a project installation, use .claude/skills/screenshot/ in Claude Code or .agents/skills/screenshot/ in Codex, with SKILL.md directly inside it. Complete this page's prerequisites, confirm discovery, and start with the example in the first-task card.
What do I need to use Capture desktop screenshots?
Python and OS screenshot tools; screen-recording permission on macOS.
Can I use these Skills with Chinese requests?
You can ask an agent that supports Chinese to work with Chinese materials and produce Chinese output. Specify the desired language, audience, and terminology in your request. Results depend on the agent and skill, so check the output against your task requirements.
Who created this skill and which license is included?
The original author is OpenAI, from openai/skills, with the Apache-2.0 license included. AILesson preserves the files and source version, and GitHub Releases provides the download. Use the source card to inspect the pinned version and original files.
Have all Skills been tested, and what should I review?
The current collection has source, license, and package-content checks. It does not claim that every skill has completed real tasks in every agent. Review the files and prerequisites before enabling a skill, and check facts, citations, generated code, and proposed actions in its output. The examples describe expected results rather than verified demonstrations.
