Record

/asciinema-tools:record

Start a terminal recording session with asciinema.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

Arguments

Execution

Invoke the asciinema-recorder skill with user-selected options.

Skip Logic

• If file provided -> skip Phase 1 (output location)
• If -t and -i provided -> skip Phase 2 (options)

Workflow

1. Preflight: Check asciinema installed
2. Location: AskUserQuestion for output path
3. Options: AskUserQuestion for recording options
4. Generate: Build and display recording command
5. Guidance: Show step-by-step instructions

Examples

# Basic recording
/asciinema-tools:record session.cast

# Recording with title and idle limit
/asciinema-tools:record -t "Demo Session" -i 30

# Recording with GitHub backup
/asciinema-tools:record session.cast --backup

Troubleshooting

Post-Execution Reflection

After this skill completes, check before closing:

1. Did the command succeed? — If not, fix the instruction or error table that caused the failure.
2. Did parameters or output change? — If the underlying tool's interface drifted, update Usage examples and Parameters table to match.
3. Was a workaround needed? — If you had to improvise (different flags, extra steps), update this SKILL.md so the next invocation doesn't need the same workaround.

Only update if the issue is real and reproducible — not speculative.
