What it does
Vhs Recording is an agent skill from athola/claude-night-market. Generates terminal recordings using VHS tape scripts and produces GIF outputs. Use when creating demo GIFs or documenting CLI workflows for tutorials.
Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `modules/execution.md` and `modules/tape-syntax.md`).
It sits in Media & Creative. The repository describes itself as: 23 Claude Code plugins: TDD enforcement hooks, git/PR workflows, spec-driven development, code review, project lifecycle, fix-from-error, maintenance automation, context… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Creating demo GIFs
- Documenting CLI workflows for tutorials
Example prompts
- “Use the vhs-recording skill to generate terminal recordings using VHS tape scripts and produces GIF outputs”
- “/vhs-recording”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f3eb00. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gobrew
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Vhs Recording loads about 662 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 259 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

VHS Recording Skill
Generate professional terminal recordings from VHS tape files.
When To Use
- Recording terminal sessions with VHS tape scripts
- Creating terminal demo recordings for documentation
When NOT To Use
- Browser-based workflows - use scry:browser-recording instead
- Non-terminal demos or GUI applications
Overview
VHS converts declarative tape files into animated GIFs of terminal sessions. Tape files define commands, timing, and terminal appearance.
Required TodoWrite Items
- Locate and validate tape file
- Check VHS installation status
- Execute VHS recording
- Verify output GIF creationModule Reference
- See
modules/tape-syntax.mdfor VHS tape file directives - See
modules/execution.mdfor recording workflow details
Workflow
Phase 1: Validate Tape File
- Confirm tape file exists at specified path
- Read tape file contents
- Verify required directives:
Outputdirective specifies GIF destination- At least one action command (Type, Enter, etc.)
Phase 2: Check VHS Installation
which vhs && vhs --versionIf not installed:
# Linux/WSL
go install github.com/charmbracelet/vhs@latest
# macOS
brew install charmbracelet/tap/vhs
# Also requires ttyd and ffmpegPhase 3: Execute Recording
vhs <tape-file.tape>VHS will:
- Parse tape file directives
- Launch virtual terminal (ttyd)
- Execute commands with timing
- Capture frames
- Encode to GIF using ffmpeg
Phase 4: Verify Output
- Check GIF file exists at Output path
- Verify file size is non-zero
- Report success with output location
Exit Criteria
- GIF file created at specified Output path
- File size indicates successful recording (typically >50KB)
- No error messages from VHS execution
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
If vhs is not found, verify that your Go bin directory is in your PATH (typically ~/go/bin). If the recording fails to start, ensure ttyd and ffmpeg are installed, as VHS depends on them for terminal emulation and video encoding. For "permission denied" errors when writing the GIF, check that the output directory exists and is writable.
