About Skill Recorder
Record yourself doing a task once, then turn it into a skill your AI agent can repeat. Skill Recorder captures a real work session on your screen: the clicks, the app and window switches, the pages you visit, commands/output from its optional recorded terminal, and (if you want) your spoken narration. It then uses the GitHub Copilot CLI to reconstruct what you actually did as a clear intent plus an ordered list of steps. From there, one step turns that single run into something an agent can reuse:
