cli-demo-generatorGenerates professional animated CLI demos as GIFs using VHS terminal recordings.
CLI Demo Generator is an agent skill from daymade/claude-code-skills. Generates professional animated CLI demos as GIFs using VHS terminal recordings. Use to create terminal demos, record CLI workflows as GIFs, generate animated documentation, build demo tapes for README files, or showcase any command-line tool visually: record terminal / VHS tape / demo GIF / animate my CLI.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 15 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/examples/batch-config.yaml`, `references/advanced_patterns.md` and `references/best_practices.md`).
It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: Professional Claude Code skills marketplace featuring production-ready skills for enhanced development workflows. The licence is MIT.
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3c268d6. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Python and Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3brewbashffmpegFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
CLI Demo Generator loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 475 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.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Simplest path — give commands, get GIF:
python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/auto_generate_demo.py \
-c "npm install my-package" \
-c "npm run build" \
-o demo.gifSelf-bootstrapping demo — for repeatable recordings that clean their own state:
python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/auto_generate_demo.py \
-c "npm install my-package" \
-c "npm run build" \
-o demo.gif \
--bootstrap "npm uninstall my-package 2>/dev/null" \
--speed 2VHS Type strings cannot contain $, \", or backticks. These cause parse errors:
# FAILS — VHS parser rejects special chars
Type "echo \"hello $USER\""
Type "claude() { command claude \"$@\"; }"Workaround: base64 encode the command, decode at runtime:
# 1. Encode your complex command
echo 'claude() { command claude "$@" 2>&1 | grep -v "noise"; }' | base64
# Output: Y2xhdWRlKCkgey4uLn0K
# 2. Use in tape
Type "echo Y2xhdWRlKCkgey4uLn0K | base64 -d > /tmp/wrapper.sh && source /tmp/wrapper.sh"This pattern is essential for output filtering, function definitions, and any command with shell special characters.
python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/auto_generate_demo.py \
-c "command1" -c "command2" \
-o output.gif \
--title "My Demo" \
--theme "Catppuccin Latte" \
--font-size 24 \
--width 1400 --height 600| Flag | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
-c | required | Command to include (repeatable) |
-o | required | Output GIF path |
--title | none | Title shown at start |
--theme | Dracula | VHS theme name |
--font-size | 16 | Font size in pt |
--width | 1400 | Terminal width px |
--height | 700 | Terminal height px |
--bootstrap | none | Hidden setup command (repeatable) |
--filter | none | Regex pattern to filter from output |
--speed | 1 | Playback speed multiplier (uses gifsicle) |
--no-execute | false | Generate .tape only |
Smart timing: install/build/test/deploy → 3s, ls/pwd/echo → 1s, others → 2s.
Create multiple demos from one config:
# demos.yaml
demos:
- name: "Install"
output: "install.gif"
commands: ["npm install my-package"]
- name: "Usage"
output: "usage.gif"
commands: ["my-package --help", "my-package run"]python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/batch_generate.py demos.yaml --output-dir ./gifsRecord a live terminal session:
bash ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/record_interactive.sh output.gif --theme "Catppuccin Latte"
# Type commands naturally, Ctrl+D when doneRequires asciinema (brew install asciinema).
For maximum control, write a tape directly. Templates in assets/templates/:
basic.tape — simple command sequenceinteractive.tape — typing simulationself-bootstrap.tape — self-cleaning demo with hidden setup (recommended for repeatable demos)These patterns come from production use. See references/advanced_patterns.md for full details.
Demos that clean previous state, set up environment, and hide all of it from the viewer:
Hide
Type "cleanup-previous-state 2>/dev/null"
Enter
Sleep 2s
Type "clear"
Enter
Sleep 500ms
Show
Type "the-command-users-see"
Enter
Sleep 3sThe Hide → commands → clear → Show sequence is critical. clear wipes the terminal buffer so hidden commands don't leak into the GIF.
Filter noisy progress lines from commands that produce verbose output:
# Hidden: create a wrapper function that filters noise
Hide
Type "echo <base64-encoded-wrapper> | base64 -d > /tmp/w.sh && source /tmp/w.sh"
Enter
Sleep 500ms
Type "clear"
Enter
Sleep 500ms
Show
# Visible: clean command, filtered output
Type "my-noisy-command"
Enter
Sleep 3sAfter recording, verify GIF content by extracting key frames:
# Extract frames at specific positions
ffmpeg -i demo.gif -vf "select=eq(n\,100)" -frames:v 1 /tmp/frame.png -y 2>/dev/null
# View the frame (Claude can read images)
# Use Read tool on /tmp/frame.png to verify contentUse gifsicle to speed up recordings without re-recording:
# 2x speed (halve frame delay)
gifsicle -d2 original.gif "#0-" > fast.gif
# 1.5x speed
gifsicle -d4 original.gif "#0-" > faster.gifKeep tape files generic with placeholders, replace at build time:
# In tape file
Type "claude plugin marketplace add MARKETPLACE_REPO"
# In build script
sed "s|MARKETPLACE_REPO|$DETECTED_REPO|g" template.tape > rendered.tape
vhs rendered.tape| Context | Width | Height | Font | Duration |

See references/best_practices.md for detailed guidelines.
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| VHS not installed | brew install charmbracelet/tap/vhs |
| gifsicle not installed | brew install gifsicle |
| GIF too large | Reduce dimensions, sleep times, or use --speed 2 |
| Text wraps/breaks | Increase --width or decrease --font-size |
VHS parse error on $ or \" | Use base64 encoding (see Critical section above) |
| Hidden commands leak into GIF | Add clear + Sleep 500ms before Show |
| Commands execute before previous finishes | Increase Sleep duration |
references/vhs_syntax.md is the full VHS tape-file reference — every command,
setting, and key name, with the argument forms each accepts. Read it when writing
a tape by hand, when a tape parses but behaves unexpectedly, or when you need a
command this SKILL.md does not show an example of.
Required: VHS (brew install charmbracelet/tap/vhs)
Optional: gifsicle (speed-up), asciinema (interactive recording), ffmpeg (frame verification), PyYAML (batch YAML configs)

Generates professional animated CLI demos as GIFs using VHS terminal recordings. CLI Demo Generator is an agent skill from daymade/claude-code-skills. Generates professional animated CLI demos as GIFs using VHS terminal recordings.
CLI Demo Generator fits situations like: create terminal demos; record CLI workflows as GIFs; generate animated documentation; build demo tapes for README files.
Run `npx skills add daymade/claude-code-skills --skill cli-demo-generator -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (cli-demo-generator in daymade/claude-code-skills) into .claude/skills/cli-demo-generator in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add daymade/claude-code-skills --skill cli-demo-generator -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (cli-demo-generator in daymade/claude-code-skills) into .agents/skills/cli-demo-generator in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add daymade/claude-code-skills --skill cli-demo-generator -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/cli-demo-generator, .gemini/skills/cli-demo-generator, .github/skills/cli-demo-generator and .opencode/skills/cli-demo-generator in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, CLI Demo Generator needs Python and a shell for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python3, brew, bash and ffmpeg). Our summary lists: Python 3; Node.js; A Bash shell.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
CLI Demo Generator is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 4.4k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
