screen-recording
Skill0 starsChanged 48 days agoMITView on GitHub
Professional screen and camera recording with OBS Studio (scenes, filters, plugins, hardware encoding) on Windows, macOS or Linux (incl. GNOME/KDE Wayland), keystroke overlays, auto-zoom demo recorders, presenter-mode cursor settings, and post-production of recordings (remux, trim, loudness) in a reproducible container. Use when the user wants to record a tutorial, demo, course, talk or stream, set up or configure OBS scenes/profiles/filters, needs zoom-on-click or cursor highlighting, keystroke display, or wants to clean up a finished recording.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 3 edited versions we read keep these.
1
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 47
Use the hardware encoder (NVENC / AMF / QSV / VAAPI / Apple VT) at CQP/CRF 18–20 — the CPU stays free for the apps you demo.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 3 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Screen recording (OBS · post-production)
Recording happens on the user's desktop — a container can't see the screen. check.sh and presenter-mode.sh
therefore run on the host; finish-recording.sh runs in the design-skills container automatically (see design-sandbox).
Toolkit
| Tool | Use it for | Platforms |
| OBS Studio | Scenes (screen, cam, screen+cam), filters, recording, streaming | Windows · macOS · Linux — https://obsproject.com |
| OBS plugins | Move Transition, masks, blur, background removal, source record… — see references/obs-plugins.md | inside OBS |
| Keystroke overlay | Show shortcuts on screen — capture its window in OBS | showmethekey (Linux) · KeyCastr (macOS) · Carnac (Windows) |
| Auto-zoom recorders | Screen Studio–style zoom-on-click demos | Screen Studio (macOS) · OpenScreen / Cap (cross-platform) |
| ffmpeg (container) | Remux, trim, loudness, review copies | finish-recording.sh |
| Kdenlive / ffmpeg | Editing and delivery | video-editing skill |
Platform notes
- Linux Wayland (GNOME/KDE): capture with the Screen Capture (PipeWire) source; the portal asks which screen/window. Live zoom-follow-mouse plugins need X11 cursor coordinates and don't work — use Move Transition hotkeys, an auto-zoom recorder, or zooms in post (keyframed Transform in Kdenlive). Global hotkeys need a GlobalShortcuts-portal plugin (e.g. obs-wayland-hotkeys).
- macOS: grant Screen Recording and Microphone permission to OBS (System Settings → Privacy & Security).
- Windows: Display Capture or Window Capture; NVENC/AMF/QSV hardware encoders are listed under Output.
Scripts
| Script | What it does |
check.sh | OBS + plugin folders, session type, keystroke-overlay tool, presenter settings — on this desktop |
presenter-mode.sh on [size] | off | status | GNOME: bigger cursor + Ctrl ripple for recording; off restores your settings (tells you the equivalent elsewhere) |
finish-recording.sh <rec.mkv> [--trim-start S] [--trim-end S] [--target -14] [--denoise] | Lossless remux to MP4, trim, loudness-normalize, plus a small review copy |
Guides
references/obs-setup.md— recommended profile (hardware encoder, CQP/CRF, MKV + auto-remux), scene layout, mic filter chain, hotkeys.references/obs-plugins.md— useful plugins: what each is for and a concrete recipe.references/recording-workflow.md— pre-flight checklist, recording technique, post-production pipeline.
Rules of thumb
- Record MKV (crash-safe) with Automatically remux to MP4 on.
- Use the hardware encoder (NVENC / AMF / QSV / VAAPI / Apple VT) at CQP/CRF 18–20 — the CPU stays free for the apps you demo.
- Canvas 1920×1080; scale apps so text is readable at 1080p (editor font ≥ 16, browser zoom 125 %).
- Mic on track 1, desktop audio on track 2 (Advanced Audio Properties) — fix the balance in the edit.
- Presenter mode on, notifications off (Do Not Disturb / Focus), clean desktop.
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
