# Screenshots
`tools/screenshot` captures pages from the local dev server as PNGs, so humans and agents can verify visual changes. It drives a locally installed Chrome (or Chromium) headless via chromedp; no other browser tooling is required.
## Usage
With the server running:
go run ./tools/screenshot -url http://localhost:8080/directory/ -out screenshots/directory.png -wait header
Flags:
- `-url` — page to capture (default `http://localhost:8080/directory/`)
- `-out` — output PNG path (default `screenshots/capture.png`); `screenshots/` is gitignored
- `-wait` — CSS selector that must be visible before capture (default `body`); pass a selector the page's JavaScript renders (for example `.card`) to capture after data loads
The capture is a full-page screenshot at a 1280×800 viewport.
## Agent recipe
One self-contained command that starts the server, captures, and shuts down:
go run . &
go run ./tools/screenshot -out screenshots/directory.png -wait header
kill $(lsof -ti :8080)
Then read `screenshots/directory.png` to inspect the result.
