sootsim screenshots

Run a YAML plan that can capture raw screenshots from a flow, frame them with the real device chrome, and export branded marketing canvases for App Store submission.

terminal

sootsim screenshots --plan <plan.yaml> [options]

Options

flagdescription
--plan <path>screenshot plan yaml
--session <tab-id>reuse a live sootsim session for capture
--app <target>override the plan app target for this run
--device <model>override the plan capture device for this run
--capture-onlystop after raw/framed intermediates
--compose-onlyskip flow capture and reuse existing raw screenshots

Examples

sootsim screenshots --plan .sootsim/app-store.yaml --compose-only

Plan-Driven Capture

screenshots is the first high-level orchestration command for App Store work. A plan can do three jobs in one pass:

  • capture raw screenshots from a flow run
  • produce framed intermediates with the real sootsim shell device chrome
  • compose branded export canvases with gradients, copy, and alternate layouts

The capture stage stays bridge-backed and uses the same live runtime/session model as flow. The composition stage is node-side and Playwright-rendered so exports are reproducible and do not depend on the live shell DOM being in a particular state.

Typical Shape

app: 8081
device: iphone-14
capture:
flow: .maestro/capture-app-store-screenshots.yaml
mode: raw+framed
compose:
canvases: [iphone-6-9, iphone-6-1]
background: cyan
text:
preset: bold-top
slides:
- id: splash-hero
screenshot: apple/iphone/en/01-splash.png
headline: First punch.
subheadline: Every pick in one place.

That one plan becomes the source of truth for raw capture, framed intermediates, and final exported canvases.
