Usage Examples

Prompt Template

I'm using Windows with WSL2 and need to automate screenshots for my [PROJECT_NAME] workflow. Please generate a script that will: 1) Capture screenshots using Win+Shift+S, 2) Automatically save them to my [SAVE_LOCATION] directory, 3) Copy the file paths to my clipboard, and 4) Make them instantly available in my WSL2 environment. I'm using [SCREENSHOT_TOOL] for capturing screenshots.

Example Output

```bash
# Windows-to-WSL2 Screenshot Automation Script

# 1. Capture Screenshot using Snipping Tool
# Press Win+Shift+S to capture screenshot
# Screenshot saved to: C:\Users\User\Pictures\Screenshots\screenshot_20231115_143022.png

# 2. Automatically copy file path to clipboard
# File path copied to clipboard: C:\Users\User\Pictures\Screenshots\screenshot_20231115_143022.png

# 3. Make screenshot available in WSL2
# Screenshot path in WSL2: /mnt/c/Users/User/Pictures/Screenshots/screenshot_20231115_143022.png

# 4. Ready to use in Claude Code
# Paste the following path into your Claude Code terminal:
