## Prerequisites

asciinema CLI and a terminal session to record

## Installation

Choose whichever fits your setup:

1. Copy this skill folder into your local skills directory.
2. Clone the repo and symlink or copy the skill into your agent workspace.
3. Add the repo as a git submodule if you manage shared skills centrally.
4. Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow.
5. Download the folder directly from GitHub and place it in your skills collection.

Install command or upstream instructions:

```
Install asciinema with your package manager or from release artifacts, then record a session with `asciinema rec`, stop recording when the workflow is complete, and replay or share the resulting cast file as needed.
```
