play

play is a skill for Claude Code from terrylica/cc-skills. It costs 29 tokens per session (694 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A playback helper for .cast files, which are recordings of terminal sessions, in iTerm2 on macOS. It lets you choose playback speed and viewing options.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to watch, review, or demonstrate recorded terminal sessions in iTerm2.
Why use it?
It avoids manually finding recordings and setting up a terminal window each time. You can control pauses, looping, sizing, and playback speed from one command.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Rogue Agent · line 73
    Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.
    Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 6
    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

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

play scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 9d ago.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/asciinema-tools:play

Play terminal recordings in a dedicated iTerm2 window.

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

Argument Description
file Path to .cast file
-s, --speed Playback speed (e.g., -s 6)
-i, --idle-time-limit Max idle time in seconds
-l, --loop Loop playback
-r, --resize Match terminal to recording size
-m, --markers Pause on markers

Execution

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

Skip Logic

  • If file provided -> skip Phase 1 (file selection)
  • If -s provided -> skip Phase 2 (speed selection)
  • If any of -i/-l/-r/-m provided -> skip Phase 3 (options)

Workflow

  1. Preflight: Check iTerm2 and asciinema
  2. Discovery: Find .cast files
  3. Selection: AskUserQuestion for file
  4. Speed: AskUserQuestion for playback speed
  5. Options: AskUserQuestion for additional options
  6. Launch: Open iTerm2 via AppleScript

Examples

# Play recording at normal speed
/asciinema-tools:play session.cast

# Play at 6x speed
/asciinema-tools:play session.cast -s 6

# Play with idle time limit and looping
/asciinema-tools:play session.cast -i 2 -l

Troubleshooting

Issue Cause Solution
iTerm2 not found Not installed brew install --cask iterm2
Window not opening AppleScript issue Grant iTerm2 accessibility permissions
Playback stuttering Large file Use -i 1 to cap idle 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.
