+When screenshots are enabled, read and follow the authoring skill's application-screenshot workflow. Capture only the configured application or a verified local application from the configured sources. Save guide screenshots as committed generator-native documentation assets, not under the design-reference cache. Give every step of a UI guide that changes what is on screen its own captured image — the entry screen, each opened dialog, drawer, tab, or expanded section, the filled form, and the visible result — so a reader can follow the guide screen by screen. Place each image immediately after the instruction that produces the shown state, use concise alternative text and an optional caption, and keep equivalent textual instructions. When the procedure uses a step component such as \`<Steps>\`/\`<Step>\`, put each image inside that step's own body — those components render block content — instead of collecting images after the block. Every verified capture must appear in its guide: if a captured state has no place in the finished procedure, delete the image and record that step as text-only rather than leaving it unused. ${highlightText} Never capture credentials, personal data, real customer data, access tokens, or unrelated browser content.
+
+When an approved documentation plan exists, use each screenshot-enabled page's startPath and workflow as a strict capture scope; begin at startPath resolved against application.baseUrl (when the base URL ends in # or #/, the application is hash-routed and the route goes after the #, so /settings opens <baseUrl>#/settings; otherwise use new URL(startPath, application.baseUrl)), follow the approved safe-state assumptions and ordered actions, and verify the named visible outcomes. In direct authoring without a plan, derive the same details from the user's request and configured source evidence before opening the application; never invent a route or test state. When a plan is approved, Doxloop has already written .doxloop/screenshot-manifest.json containing every approved guide with its steps staged as status planned. Fill that file in; never delete a guide, drop a step, or rebuild the file from the captures you happened to take. Every staged guide must end as verified captures or as text-only steps with specific reasons, and Doxloop fails the run for any guide left planned. Open each guide's startPath in the capture browser before you judge it: you may not decide that a screen is not worth capturing, or is not distinct, without having navigated to it. Without an approved plan, create the file yourself with schemaVersion 1 and one guide per agreed direct-authoring guide. Each guide has a page field and ordered steps. Every step records id, a specific action, expectedState, purpose, capture as the JSON boolean true or false, status, and—when a plan exists—the one-based sequenceItem it represents. Write action, expectedState, and purpose as full descriptive clauses of at least 8 characters each (for example "Open the application at /" rather than "Open /"); Doxloop rejects terser values. Never write "required" or "recommended" in capture. A verified capture also records target, a project-relative PNG file, useful alt text, and checks with expectedStateConfirmed, privacyReviewed, legibilityReviewed, and meaningful all true. Write status verified once that PNG exists on disk and you have embedded it in its guide; a planned or intended capture is never verified. If you did not capture an image for a step, set capture false, status text-only, and a specific textOnlyReason — Doxloop checks every declared file and reports all of them at once. A step without an image uses status text-only and a specific textOnlyReason. You verify a state before capturing it, not after: take a page snapshot, confirm the named content is present, then capture. You are not expected to open or view the saved PNG — Doxloop checks every saved image itself for readability, size, blank or still-loading screens, duplicates, and embedding, and fails the run when one is wrong. Never record a captured step as text-only because you could not view its image file; text-only means you could not reach that state in the application. Capture at least one meaningful image per required guide; consolidate planned items that resolve to the same unchanged screen rather than creating duplicate files. Never save the screen you are currently on under the name of a state you could not reach: if signing in, loading data, or advancing the workflow is not possible, record that step as text-only with a specific reason. Two captured steps in the same guide must never produce the same image: when an approved capture item turns out not to be a distinct state — scrolling, focusing a field, or inspecting part of a screen that is already fully visible — keep the first image and record the rest as text-only rather than saving the same screen again under another name. Different guides may show the same screen when both genuinely document it. Doxloop rejects missing-guide, tiny, repeated-within-a-guide, unembedded, unreviewed, or out-of-plan captures. If capture fails, keep complete text instructions, remove broken image references, record the limitation, and do not claim a failed image is verified.`;
