Get ready once.

This preview runs on your computer. You need Node.js 22.12 or newer, npm, and Codex or Claude Code with access to your local files and terminal.

1. Download and extract the ZIP.

   Keep the extracted hen-screenshots folder somewhere permanent. It contains the renderer, fonts, and instructions your agent will use.

2. Install the local dependencies.

   Open a terminal inside the extracted hen-screenshots folder and run these commands. Setup needs an internet connection to download the rendering libraries.

   Terminal

   npm ci --omit=dev
   node scripts/hen.mjs doctor

3. Check the result.

   The doctor command should report "ok": true. You can now use either agent below. The ZIP does not install itself or register a plugin in an agent marketplace.

CODEX

Start with a local task.

Open your app project in Codex on your computer. For this preview, ask it to read the bundled skill directly. This loads the instructions for your task without a marketplace installation.

In the prompt, replace PLUGIN_FOLDER with the full path to the extracted hen-screenshots folder, and CAPTURES_FOLDER with the folder containing your screenshots. Keep paths inside quotes if they contain spaces.

Read "PLUGIN_FOLDER/skills/create-screenshots/SKILL.md" and use its local CLI.

Create a three-slide Google Play series from the screenshots in "CAPTURES_FOLDER". Choose a dark template, use concise English captions based on the app’s actual features, and export to a new folder named launch-v1. Show me preview.png and save an editable .henscreenshots project.

CLAUDE CODE

Load the plugin for your session.

After setup, open a terminal in your app project. Replace PLUGIN_FOLDER with the full path to the extracted plugin, then start Claude Code:

claude --plugin-dir "PLUGIN_FOLDER"

The --plugin-dir option loads the plugin for this session. Then send this request, replacing CAPTURES_FOLDER with your screenshot folder:

/hen-screenshots:create-screenshots

Use the screenshots in "CAPTURES_FOLDER" to create an iPhone App Store series. Choose a current supported export profile and a warm, minimal template. Write short English captions, export to a new folder named iphone-launch-v1, and show me the preview and editable project.

Claude Code local plugin guide ↗

Give it a useful brief.

Once the skill is loaded, these requests work with either agent. Tell it which images to use, where you will publish, and what makes your app worth trying.

A portfolio composition

Use Hen Screenshots to make a landscape portfolio composition with my desktop capture "desktop.png" and mobile capture "mobile.png". Find a template that combines both devices. Use a cream background, dark text, and the headline "Your day, in one place." Save the preview and editable project in a new folder named portfolio-v1.

The same design, in more languages

Create English, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese versions of the series we just designed. Keep the layout linked and adapt the captions naturally to each language. Export a folder per language to a new directory named launch-translated-v1, and show me every preview so I can check for text overflow.

Ready to export. Still yours to edit.

Each run writes to a new output folder. Your original captures stay unchanged, and the plugin checks the export dimensions and opaque RGB PNG format.
