Cowork: Claude Code for the rest of your work

I regularly show Claude Code a screenshot of a completely broken UI--lots of cut off text, overlapping elements all over the place, the works--and Claude will reply something like "Perfect! The screenshot shows that XYZ is working."

I can describe what is wrong with the screenshot to make Claude fix the problem, but it's not entirely clear to what extent it's using the screenshot versus my description. Any human with two brain cells wouldn't need the problems pointed out.

This is my experience as well. If CC does something, and I get broken results and reply with just an image it will almost always reply with "X is working!" response. Sometimes just telling it to look more closely is enough, or sometimes I have to be more specific. It seems to be able to read text from screenshots of logs just fine though and always seems to process those as I'd expect.
