One thing to look at

3 stars3 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Use when authoring a CLI session recording for the cli-recorder skill. Translates a user's intent ("video of installing kubectl") into a valid recipe.toml through interactive Q&A.

CLI Recorder — Recipe Author

Help users turn an idea ("a video of installing kubectl on macOS", "a tour of git rebase -i") into a valid recipe.toml for the feinschnitt record command.

Quick Start

/record "a tour of git rebase -i"

See references/steps.md for per-step detail and examples.

When to use

User says "create a recording for X" / "record a demo of Y", invokes /record, or has a video idea but no recipe file yet.

Hard gate

Do NOT run the recorder. Do NOT scaffold the surrounding Remotion video. Stop after the recipe is written and validated. The user runs feinschnitt record themselves once they're happy.

Process

1. Discover intent           → What CLI? What's the audience? What's the takeaway?
2. Pick a profile            → claude-code | generic | interactive-tui
3. Sketch the steps          → 3-9 beats; each beat ≈ one screen of action
4. Resolve modal/interactive → which steps need dismiss keys, pattern waits, pauses
5. Tune cadence              → typing_wpm, idle compression, idle_time_limit
6. Write the recipe          → ${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.recordings/recipes/<name>.recipe.toml
7. Show + validate           → display the file; offer a dry-run for verification

Apply one question at a time — prefer multiple choice over open-ended. The storyboard is the step labels; sketch those before the text content. Validate the written recipe against schema/recipe.schema.json before declaring done.
