Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is export PACKMIND_EDITION="$(bash scripts/michel/resolve-edition.sh)" # oss | proprietary, from the git remote.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

michel-ui-demo-recorder scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/check-mcp-config.sh, scripts/inject-cursor.js, scripts/inject-subtitles.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 374 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

UI Demo Recorder

Produce client-ready UI documentation (HD video + screenshots) from a running web app using the Playwright MCP video tools.

When to reach for this skill

  • "Record a demo / walkthrough / screencast / video of the app"
  • "Take screenshots of the feature working"
  • "Show the client what X looks like"
  • "Document this flow visually"
  • "Make a GIF/video of clicking through Y"

The deliverable is always one or more of:

  • WebM video (1440×900 HD by default), with optional chapter cards
  • Full-page PNG screenshots at key moments
  • An animated cursor overlay so viewers can follow what's being clicked (always present)
  • A subtitle bar narrating each step (always present)

Non-negotiable: every video this skill produces MUST carry both the cursor overlay and the subtitle bar. They are injected via browser_evaluate (pure DOM), independent of .mcp.json — a run that omits them is a defective deliverable, not a stylistic choice. If you cannot inject them, stop and report why rather than shipping a bare recording.

Why a skill exists for this

The Playwright MCP video tools work, but they have several non-obvious gotchas that waste a lot of time if you discover them mid-recording:

  1. The video tools live behind an opt-in flag (--caps=devtools) and are silently absent if the MCP server wasn't launched with it.
  2. There are usually two different Playwright MCP tool prefixes in the deferred-tools list (a stock one and a plugin one). They use different browser contexts, and only one of them can record video. Mixing them mid-session causes "Browser is already in use" errors.
  3. The recorder doesn't render the OS cursor — videos look like the app is operating itself unless you inject a fake cursor.
  4. Any location.reload() wipes the injected cursor — it must be reinjected.
  5. The output file lands at the project root, not in whatever --output-dir says.

This skill codifies the working recipe so the model doesn't relearn it every time.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
