Record your screen to video from Claude Code. Guided capture setup: pick a display, window, or screen region, then start/stop recording on demand. Uses ffmpeg — cross-platform (macOS, Linux, Windows). Produces MP4 with sensible defaults. Pairs with demo-narrate for voice-over. Triggers on: screencast, record screen, screen recording, capture screen, record window, record region, start recording, screen capture video.

Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is an excellent skill description that covers all key dimensions well. It provides specific concrete actions, comprehensive natural trigger terms, clear 'what' and 'when' guidance, and occupies a distinct niche. The description is concise yet thorough, mentioning cross-platform support and tooling dependencies without being verbose.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: 'pick a display, window, or screen region', 'start/stop recording on demand', 'Produces MP4 with sensible defaults', 'Pairs with demo-narrate for voice-over'. Very clear about what it does. | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (record screen to video, guided capture setup, pick display/window/region, produces MP4) and 'when' (explicit 'Triggers on:' clause with comprehensive trigger terms). | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural trigger terms: 'screencast, record screen, screen recording, capture screen, record window, record region, start recording, screen capture video'. These are terms users would naturally say when wanting this functionality. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Very distinct niche — screen recording is a specific capability unlikely to overlap with other skills. The mention of ffmpeg, MP4 output, and specific recording targets (display, window, region) make it clearly distinguishable. The pairing note with 'demo-narrate' further clarifies its role. | 3 / 3 |

Implementation
85%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-structured, highly actionable skill with clear workflow sequencing and good progressive disclosure. The main area for improvement is trimming some verbosity — a few sections could be more concise by removing conversational guidance that Claude can infer (e.g., how to present options to users). Overall, it's a strong skill that effectively teaches screen recording capabilities.
Suggestions
Tighten the 'Choose What to Record' section by removing conversational coaching (e.g., 'Present a numbered list showing app name...') — Claude knows how to present lists to users.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The content is mostly efficient but has some verbosity — e.g., the full explanation of how to offer screen dimensions as reference ('Your main display is 2560x1440. Top-left is 0,0.') and some conversational guidance that could be tighter. The script-locating bash block is useful but somewhat lengthy. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Every step includes concrete, executable bash commands with specific flags and options. The commands are copy-paste ready, flags are documented with defaults, and the workflow covers all recording scenarios with exact syntax. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | The workflow is clearly sequenced (deps → choose target → confirm & start → stop) with explicit validation at each step (check deps output, confirm before starting, check status). Edge cases are handled with specific recovery actions (dead process, already recording, cancelled picker). | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | The skill provides a clear overview with well-organized sections, keeps the main content focused on the workflow, and appropriately references a separate REFERENCE.md for macOS picker details and advanced topics. One level deep, clearly signaled. | 3 / 3 |
