--- name: before-and-after description: Captures before\/after screenshots of web pages or elements for visual comparison. Use when user says "take before and after", "screenshot comparison", "visual diff", "PR screenshots", "compare old and new", or needs to document UI changes. Accepts two URLs (file:\/\/, http:\/\/, https:\/\/) or two image paths. allowed-tools: - Bash(npx @vercel\/before-and-after *) - Bash(before-and-after *) - Bash(which before-and-after) - Bash(npm install -g @vercel\/before-and-after) - Bash(*\/upload-and-copy.sh *) - Bash(curl -s -o \/dev\/null -w *) - Bash(gh pr view *) - Bash(gh pr edit *) - Bash(vercel inspect *) - Bash(vercel whoami) - Bash(which vercel) - Bash(which gh) --- # Before-After Screenshot Skill > **Package:** `@vercel\/before-and-after` > Never use `before-and-after` (wrong package). ## Agent Behavior Rules **DO NOT:** - Switch git branches, stash changes, start dev servers, or assume what "before" is - Use `--full` unless user explicitly asks for full page \/ full scroll capture **DO:** - Use `--markdown` when user wants PR integration or markdown output - Use `--mobile` \/ `--tablet` if user mentions phone, mobile, tablet, responsive, etc. - Assume current state is **After** - If user provides only one URL or says "PR screenshots" without URLs, **ASK**: "What URL should I use for the 'before' state? (production URL, preview deployment, or another local port)" ## Execution Order (MUST follow) 1. **Pre-flight** — `which before-and-after || npm install -g @vercel\/before-and-after` 2. **Protection check** — if `.vercel.app` URL: `curl -s -o \/dev\/null -w "%{http_code}" ""` (401\/403 = protected) 3. **Capture** — `before-and-after "" ""` 4. **Upload** — `.\/scripts\/upload-and-copy.sh --markdown` 5. **PR integration** — optionally `gh pr edit` to append markdown **Never skip steps 1-2.** ## Quick Reference ```bash # Basic usage before-and-after

Check Vercel CLI: `which vercel && vercel whoami` 2. If available: `vercel inspect ` to get bypass token 3. If not: Tell user to provide bypass token, take manual screenshots, or disable protection ## PR Integration ```bash # Check for gh CLI which gh # Get current PR gh pr view --json number,body # Append screenshots to PR body gh pr edit --body " ## Before and After " ``` If no `gh` CLI: output markdown and tell user to paste manually. ## Error Reference | Error | Fix | |-------|-----| | `command not found` | `npm install -g @vercel\/before-and-after` | | `could not determine executable` | Use `npx @vercel\/before-and-after` (full name) | | 401\/403 on .vercel.app | See Vercel protection section | | Element not found | Verify selector exists on page |
