Photo Capture

Use this skill when the user wants a live camera image captured and sent back.

Default Behavior

  1. Prefer direct webcam capture with scripts/capture_webcam.py.
  2. Save output under tmp/ inside the workspace.
  3. Reply with MEDIA:./relative/path.png or MEDIA:./relative/path.jpg so the image is sent back.
  4. Only use the old macOS app-window screenshot path when direct camera capture is unavailable.

Why This Path

Direct camera capture is the default because it works across macOS, Windows, and Linux and does not require pre-configuring screen recording, accessibility, or automation permissions.

The OS may still show a normal one-time camera permission prompt for the terminal or Python process. That is expected and lighter than the old screenshot-based setup.
