What it does

Techsmith Prod Checklist is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Validate a Snagit or Camtasia automation release across licensing, versioning, desktop session, storage, privacy, rollback, and support readiness. Use when preparing a production rollout or scheduled media run. Trigger with "TechSmith production checklist", "Camtasia go live", or "Snagit automation readiness".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code; TechSmith product execution requires an approved Windows or macOS desktop as documented

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Deployment. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Preparing a production rollout
  • Scheduled media run
  • With TechSmith production checklist
  • Camtasia go live

Example prompts

  • “TechSmith production checklist”
  • “Camtasia go live”
  • “Snagit automation readiness”
  • “/techsmith-prod-checklist”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; TechSmith product execution requires an approved Windows or macOS desktop as documented
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Verify immutable release inputs, vendor-origin installers, checksums, code review, and test evidence.
  2. Reconcile endpoint versions, entitlement ownership, activation health, connectivity, and update policy.
  3. Test COM registration or recorder discovery and confirm interactive-session scheduling where required.
  4. Run a canary with synthetic content; validate file properties, path boundary, and cleanup.
  5. Exercise rollback without deleting libraries, projects, or user data; confirm support escalation artifacts.
  6. Issue GO only when every blocking control has evidence; otherwise name the blocker, owner, and next check.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • WebFetch
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • support.techsmith.com

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code; TechSmith product execution requires an approved Windows or macOS desktop as documented

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Techsmith Prod Checklist loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 411 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.1k

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.

TechSmith Production Go-No-Go

Overview

This skill produces a fail-closed production decision with evidence owners. It covers desktop constraints that ordinary web-service checklists miss: interactive sessions, licensed endpoints, installed type libraries, project version compatibility, local scratch, capture privacy, and artifact promotion.

Prerequisites

  • Release manifest with scripts, packages, product versions, configurations, and hashes
  • Approved endpoints, license assignments, service owner, privacy classification, and retention policy
  • Representative canary capture/export plus expected validation results
  • Rollback package, incident contacts, and maintenance window

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect local scripts, manifests, logs, and tests. Use WebFetch only for current primary TechSmith documentation. Use Write or Edit only after confirming the target repository file and approval boundary.

Current Contract

  • Every production worker maps to an approved endpoint, user/license model, product version, and data boundary.
  • Snagit COM jobs declare capture scope and interactive-session behavior.
  • Camtasia jobs use local active storage and the modern exporter supported by the pinned release.
  • Promotion requires validated output, cleanup, monitoring, and tested rollback—not merely process exit zero.

Licensing and Authentication

TechSmith desktop activation is not API authentication. Resolve individual sign-in versus business-key or approved offline activation before execution. Redact all keys, account identifiers, activation artifacts, and sensitive endpoint details.

Instructions

  1. Verify immutable release inputs, vendor-origin installers, checksums, code review, and test evidence.
  2. Reconcile endpoint versions, entitlement ownership, activation health, connectivity, and update policy.
  3. Test COM registration or recorder discovery and confirm interactive-session scheduling where required.
  4. Run a canary with synthetic content; validate file properties, path boundary, and cleanup.
  5. Exercise rollback without deleting libraries, projects, or user data; confirm support escalation artifacts.
  6. Issue GO only when every blocking control has evidence; otherwise name the blocker, owner, and next check.

Approval Boundaries

No checklist item may be waived silently. Capture privacy, entitlement, destructive uninstall, data migration, and rollback failures are hard blockers.

Output

Return GO/NO-GO, release and product versions, evidence per control, blockers, owners, canary result, rollback result, and review timestamp.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
Version inventory driftsStop rollout and reconcile workers to the pinned release.
Canary captures real user dataDelete or quarantine it under policy and replace the canary with synthetic content.
Rollback deletes dataReject the rollback plan and separate application removal from data retention.
License health unknownBlock scheduling until the entitlement owner verifies it.

Examples

The example below shows the minimum redacted evidence expected from a successful invocation of this operator workflow.

decision=NO-GO; blocker=worker-03-version-drift; owner=desktop-eng; canary=pass; rollback=pass
