What problem does it solve?
This skill eliminates inconsistent, broken, or low-quality recordings for droid-control automation workflows by enforcing standardized pre-flight checks, consistent capture parameters, and validated output collection, ensuring all session recordings are ready for immediate composition and review.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Standardized Capture Setup: Enforces consistent terminal dimensions, layout-matched browser viewport sizing, and required color environment variables to avoid desaturated terminal recordings and letterboxed video.
- End-to-End Recording Workflow: Guides users through pre-flight checks, interaction script execution with verification steps, keystroke logging, and raw output validation for terminal, browser, and desktop GUI sessions.
- Failure Recovery: Provides explicit steps to recover from stuck recording sessions without losing usable output, including session bail-out, state verification, and re-recording protocols.
- Use Case: A developer comparing two branches of a CLI tool can use this skill to record identical interaction sequences on both branches with matching terminal dimensions, producing consistent, side-by-side composable clips for review.
Quick Start
Use the capture skill to record a 120x36 terminal session of your droid-dev branch with forced 24-bit color output and save the recording as a .cast file for later composition.
