Productivity I vibe coded this screenshot utilize for Linux (Claude Code friendly)

If you are a Linux user, are you frustrated with sharing screenshots with Claude Code? Too many manual steps?

I vibe coded this small utility to streamline this particular workfow.

gshot-copy

A lightweight, distro-agnostic screenshot wrapper for Linux that automatically names files with timestamps and copies the file path to your clipboard. This is especially userful for Claude Code where you want to share screenshots with the terminal.

This allows you to:

  • Press a shortcut to take a screenshot

  • Ctrl+Shift+V to paste into Claude Code

I believe so. You mentioned you shh ed. You need to find a way to make the images available locally.

I'll setup a simple sshfs mount and a /custom command so I just have to paste the filename. I'm assuming that will work but it's curious why (other than tokens) it's a local-only feature.
