Everything here is short on purpose. If your answer is not below, write to a human and you will get one back.
Install it
Install Skisso free from the Chrome Web Store, pin it, and press ⌃ ⇧ 1 on any page. It runs on any page Chrome allows extensions on, including your local dev server. Chrome blocks every extension on its own chrome:// pages and on the Web Store, which is expected rather than a fault.
To let your coding agent read what you select and change, run npx -y skisso in your project folder and add the MCP server once: claude mcp add --scope user skisso -- npx -y skisso mcp.
Shortcuts
⌃ ⇧ 1 opens or hides the inspector.
⌃ ⇧ 2 captures an area and freezes it so you can annotate.
⌃ ⇧ 3 retakes the area while you stay in screenshot mode.
Inside the panel, ↵ copies the patch, ⌘Z undoes the last change, and esc steps back one level.
The three things that usually go wrong
The shortcut does nothing. Chrome only binds suggested keys when an extension is installed, never when you press reload on the card. Remove the card and load it unpacked again, or assign the keys yourself at chrome://extensions/shortcuts. If a key was taken by another extension, the icon shows a small warning badge.
The panel will not open on a page. Check the address. On chrome:// pages, the Web Store, and raw PDF files, Chrome blocks all extensions, so there is nothing to fix.
An element vanishes when you move the mouse. Tooltips and menus often hide themselves. Select the element first and Skisso holds it visible while you work on it, then hands control back to the page when you deselect.
Report a bug or suggest an idea
In the panel, ⋯ › Send feedback opens a ready issue on GitHub with your text, the Skisso and browser versions and the state of the tool. It never includes the page address, the page content or your code, because GitHub issues are public. You press Create there; nothing is sent before that.
No GitHub account? The same form has Email instead, or write to hello@skisso.app. A short description plus a screenshot is usually enough.
Privacy in one line
Skisso has no account, no analytics, and no backend. Your work stays in the browser unless you copy it out. The full detail is in the privacy policy.
Support the project
Skisso is free: no account, no tracking in the extension, no paywall, and it stays that way. It is built by one designer in Sweden in the evenings. If it saves you time, a coffee helps keep it going.
Free ways to help just as much: a rating on the Chrome Web Store, and telling a colleague.
Alpha, and honest about it. Some edges are rough and the shortcuts may move. If something blocks you, say so and it usually gets fixed the same week.
