Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
A macOS command-line tool for recording audio, screen, and camera output. Designed for both human users and AI agents operating in a terminal. Output file paths are printed to stdout. Status messages go to stderr, making the tool pipeline-friendly.
Always ask the user for explicit permission before running any recording command. Recording audio (microphone), screen, or camera captures sensitive data and may be unexpected. Before executing record audio, record screen, or record camera, confirm with the user that they intend to record, what will be captured, and the duration. Listing devices (--list-devices, --list-displays, --list-windows, --list-cameras) and taking screenshots (--screenshot) are less intrusive but should still be confirmed if not explicitly requested.
brew install atacan/tap/record
# Audio record audio --duration 10 # Record 10s of audio record audio --duration 5 --json # JSON output with file path # Screen record screen --duration 5 # Record screen for 5s record screen --screenshot # Take a screenshot record screen --screenshot --output /tmp/s.png # Camera record camera --duration 5 # Record webcam for 5s record camera --photo # Take a photo
SubcommandPurposerecord audioRecord from microphonerecord screenRecord screen video or take a screenshotrecord cameraRecord from webcam or take a photo Each subcommand has its own --help flag with full option details.
The tool prints the output file path to stdout. Capture it: FILE=$(record audio --duration 5) echo "Recorded to: $FILE"
All subcommands support --json to emit machine-readable JSON to stdout: record audio --duration 5 --json
Without --duration, the tool waits for a keypress to stop (requires a real TTY). AI agents should always pass --duration <seconds> to ensure the command terminates.
record audio --list-devices record screen --list-displays record screen --list-windows record camera --list-cameras Add --json for structured output.
record audio --duration 5 --output /tmp/recording.m4a record screen --screenshot --output /tmp/screen.png --overwrite Without --output, files are saved to a temporary directory.
record screen --duration 10 --audio system # system audio only record screen --duration 10 --audio mic # microphone only record screen --duration 10 --audio both # system + mic
record screen --screenshot --window "Safari" record screen --duration 5 --display primary
The terminal app (Terminal, iTerm2, etc.) must have the relevant permission enabled in System Settings > Privacy & Security: Microphone - for record audio and record camera --audio Screen Recording - for record screen Camera - for record camera
If a command fails or behaves unexpectedly, run: record <subcommand> --help The --help output always reflects the installed version and is the authoritative reference.
