+## Assertion Before Screenshot
+
+If you take screenshots without assertions then you may get different screenshots depending on timing.
+
+For example, if clicking a button makes some network calls and upon success, renders something, then the screenshot may sometimes have the new render and sometimes not.
+
+This rule checks there is an assertion making sure your application state is correct before doing a screenshot. This makes sure the result of the screenshot will be consistent.
+
+Invalid:
+
+```
+cy.visit('myUrl');
+cy.screenshot();
+```
+
+Valid:
+
+```
+cy.visit('myUrl');
+cy.get('[data-test-id="my-element"]').should('be.visible');
+cy.screenshot();
+```
