What the skill teaches
An internal step of the cli-exercise skill in the GitHub CLI repository, not called by users directly, that turns recorded terminal sessions from a test run into checked evidence and media. It compares every expectation against what was actually recorded, keeping failed writes and partial effects rather than retrying, then renders GIF or MP4 files with the skill's Go helper and ffmpeg, with optional overview pages, phase labels and plain-language notes, and HTML only on request. It inspects first, last and passing frames, writes a visual review receipt tied to the run's contract, stops only the processes it started and removes its temporary data. Publishing needs separate approval.
Capabilities
- Check test expectations against recorded sessions
- Render terminal recordings as GIF or MP4
