OpenClaw automates before-and-after comparison capture as a structured operation, systematically capturing matched pairs of screenshots with identical viewport settings. Output includes organized comparison pairs, machine-readable diff metadata, and timestamped archives. Feed into automated design approval workflows or stakeholder review pipelines.

Connect ToolRouter to OpenClaw

1Install the CLI
npm install -g toolrouter-mcp
2Call tools directly from OpenClaw
toolrouter-mcp call web-search search --query "AI tools"
toolrouter-mcp tools

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Web Screenshot tool:

  1. Before changes: "Capture screenshots of the pages being updated"
  2. After changes: "Capture the same pages and compare"
  3. OpenClaw highlights the visual differences
  4. Use the comparisons for documentation and stakeholder communication

Example Prompt

Try this with OpenClaw using the Web Screenshot tool
Capture our landing page before and after the redesign. Show me a clear comparison.

Tips

  • Always capture at the same viewport size for accurate comparisons
  • Archive before screenshots before deploying -- you cannot capture them after
  • Use comparisons to build a visual history of your site evolution
