## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Agents sometimes need to capture UI screenshots for visual
verification of fixes
> - The Paperclip UI requires authentication, so headless browser
screenshots fail without auth
> - The CLI already stores a board token in `~/.paperclip/auth.json`
> - This pull request adds a Playwright-based screenshot script that
reads the board token and injects it as a Bearer header
> - The benefit is agents can now take authenticated screenshots of any
Paperclip UI page without storing email/password credentials
## What Changed
- Added `scripts/screenshot.cjs` — a Node.js script that:
- Reads the board token from `~/.paperclip/auth.json`
- Launches Chromium via Playwright with the token as an `Authorization`
header
- Navigates to the specified URL and saves a screenshot
- Supports `--width`, `--height`, and `--wait` flags
- Accepts both full URLs and path-only shortcuts (e.g.,
`/PAPA/agents/cto/instructions`)
## Verification
```bash
node scripts/screenshot.cjs /PAPA/agents/cto/instructions /tmp/test.png --width 1920
```
Should produce an authenticated screenshot of the agent instructions
page.
## Risks
- Low risk — standalone utility script with no impact on the main
application. Requires Playwright (already a dev dependency) and a valid
board token in `~/.paperclip/auth.json`.
