SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the tedious, error-prone work of manually recording polished UI demo videos, saving developers hours of trial and error with generic screen recording tools and inconsistent post-processing.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated UI Demo Recording: Uses playwright-cli to capture browser interactions with a visible animated cursor, chapter markers, and precise timing control.
  • GitHub-Optimized Post-Processing: Automatically converts raw webm recordings to H.264 MP4s formatted for seamless GitHub PR embeds, with support for trimming, cropping, and text overlays.
  • Use Case: When submitting a pull request for a new SLICC UI feature, use this Skill to record a 20-second demo of the side panel resize interaction, add chapter markers for key steps, and upload the final MP4 directly to the PR description for stakeholder review.

Quick Start

Use the demo-recording skill to record a 15-second demo of the SLICC terminal panel open interaction, convert it to a GitHub-embeddable MP4, and add a freeze-frame toast overlay highlighting the file open action.

FAQPage Schema
How do I record a UI demo video for a GitHub PR?

Record a UI demo video for a GitHub PR by automating browser interactions with playwright-cli, then use ffmpeg post-processing to convert the raw webm to an H.264 MP4 optimized for seamless embedding directly into pull request descriptions.

Can I add text overlays and chapter markers to an automated browser recording?

Yes, you can add text overlays and chapter markers to an automated browser recording. The process applies visible animated cursors, chapter markers, and precise timing control during ffmpeg post-processing to produce clear, professional demo content.

Does playwright-cli support precise timing control for UI walkthroughs?

Playwright-cli supports precise timing control for UI walkthroughs by automating browser interactions. Combined with ffmpeg post-processing, it captures web UI features and formats them into GitHub-embeddable MP4s with exact timing and chapter markers.

What is the best way to convert webm recordings to GitHub-embeddable MP4s?

The best way to convert webm recordings to GitHub-embeddable MP4s is using ffmpeg post-processing. It automatically formats the raw webm output into H.264 MP4s, allowing for trimming, cropping, and text overlays for professional demo content.

Why use automated demo recording instead of manual screen recording for feature showcases?

Use automated demo recording instead of manual screen recording to eliminate tedious, error-prone work. It saves hours of trial and error with generic tools by providing consistent browser automation, animated cursors, and standardized GitHub-optimized MP4 post-processing.

Are there limitations when using ffmpeg to trim and crop web UI demo videos?

While ffmpeg supports trimming, cropping, and text overlays for web UI demo videos, this approach is specifically tailored for short, polished feature showcases. It targets developer workflows requiring GitHub-embeddable MP4s rather than long-form continuous screen captures.
