thurbox: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/thurbox-demo-media/SKILL.md

thurbox-demo-media is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Thurbeen/thurbox. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,637 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for creating Thurbox demonstration videos and screenshots. Thurbox is the software being demonstrated; its media is generated by scripts that control the real terminal interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when re-recording or editing Thurbox GIFs, MP4s, website media, or tutorial screenshots. It covers VHS recordings, a Doom easter-egg recording, and a screenshot recorder.
Why use it?
It explains how to update demo media when the interface changes, helping keep videos, screenshots, and tutorial text accurate.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

This is Thurbeen/thurbox's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on thurbox itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything thurbox configures →

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

thurbox-demo-media 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 27d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Thurbox demo videos and screenshots

Working reference indexed by AGENTS.md. The rationale behind these decisions is owned by the docs under docs/; a change that invalidates what this says updates it in the same PR.

Demo Video

The hero demo is its own recorder. scripts/demo/record-hero.sh writes media/thurbox-demo.{gif,mp4} (the README GIF, the website's first video) and website/assets/thurbox-demo-poster.webp in one run. It is not a tape: thurbox runs under asciinema inside a private tmux server, tmux send-keys presses the real chords, and the context menu is opened by sending the SGR mouse report of a right press, which VHS cannot do. The remote host devbox is declared in the sandbox's hosts.toml and reached through a stand-in ssh on PATH that runs the command on this machine under devbox's own HOME and tmux socket directory — the same stand-in tests/backend_routes.rs uses, so everything past the ssh binary is the real remote path and nobody needs a second machine to rerun it. Every socket it creates has a name only it uses (thurbox-hero*), never thurbox, because its teardown kills them by name. agg needs a Nerd Font and Noto Sans Symbols 2 in FONT_DIR (the header says why only the first is named). The README GIF is a second agg pass at a smaller font, not an ffmpeg re-encode, which turned agg's change-only frames into ~66 MB of full frames.

The VHS recordings are stale. Every clip a tape produces was recorded against v1 and shows panes the interface no longer has — code review, the file viewer, the tasks and automations panels. The tapes themselves drive v1 chords, so they need rewriting before re-recording is worth doing. Until then the website's feature clips and the README's session-creation and interface GIFs show an interface that is gone. doom-easter-egg.mp4 is the exception: it is not a tape, and it was re-recorded against v2 when Doom became a plugin (below).

The media is generated, not hand-recorded. One script drives the real TUI via VHS (needs vhs + ffmpeg + ttyd + tmux) and writes GIF and MP4 into media/:

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.
