Usage Examples

Prompt Template

Create a bash script for a lightweight, distro-agnostic screenshot utility for Linux called gshot-copy. The script should automatically name files with timestamps and copy the file path to the clipboard. The script should be compatible with [DISTRO] and use [SCREENSHOT_TOOL] for capturing screenshots. Include error handling for common issues like missing dependencies or permission issues.

#!/bin/bash

# gshot-copy - A lightweight, distro-agnostic screenshot utility for Linux

# Check for dependencies
if ! command -v scrot &> /dev/null; then

exit 1
fi

if ! command -v xclip &> /dev/null; then
    echo "Error: xclip is not installed. Please install it first."

# Capture screenshot and save with timestamp
