Capture Screen
Programmatic screenshot automation for macOS that actually works. Uses Swift's CoreGraphics to get real window IDs, AppleScript to control application state (zoom levels, scroll position, sheet selection in Excel), then screencapture to grab the pixels. The documentation is refreshingly honest about what fails: System Events can't get the right window format, PyObjC isn't worth the dependency hassle, and you need Screen Recording permissions or nothing works. If you're building documentation pipelines or need to capture specific states of Excel workbooks without clicking around manually, this gives you the three-step workflow that doesn't fight the OS. Just remember to add sleep delays between AppleScript commands and captures.

Capture Screen
Programmatic screenshot capture on macOS: find windows, control views, capture images.
Select observation or foreground control
For an existing view, enumerate and capture the exact window without activating it. Skip Step 2 when no view change is needed. A window image proves visible content in that capture, not keyboard focus, input delivery or a successful business action.
Before opening/raising windows, scrolling, selecting, changing zoom or sending keys, the executing agent checks user activity and other agents' ownership. Use a concrete task handoff or an existing explicit idle-desktop authorization; under the latter, coordinate exclusive access and proceed without asking again. Idle input alone is not ownership. Busy/unknown occupancy or unexpected input stops foreground actions; continue independent reads and do not restore old focus after human takeover.
