What it does
Techsmith SDK Patterns is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Implement Snagit image capture behind a narrow typed adapter with official enums, ordered configuration, bounded async completion, and path-safe results. Use when productionizing COM automation in PowerShell or .NET. Trigger with "Snagit SDK patterns", "Snagit COM adapter", or "type-safe Snagit capture".
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 Development, covering Type safety. It works with PowerShell and .NET. 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
- Productionizing COM automation in PowerShell
- With Snagit SDK patterns
- Snagit COM adapter
- Type-safe Snagit capture
Example prompts
- “Snagit SDK patterns”
- “Snagit COM adapter”
- “type-safe Snagit capture”
- “/techsmith-sdk-patterns”
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.
- Read repository conventions and locate every direct COM creation or raw enum use.
- Define CaptureRequest, CaptureResult, typed enums, normalized error categories, and cancellation behavior.
- Implement a factory and adapter around the smallest official COM interface needed by the workflow.
- Add bounded event or polling completion, success checks, canonical path containment, file validation, and disposal.
- Write a fake adapter and tests for configuration order, timeout, failure, path escape, and cleanup.
- Migrate one caller at a time and compare results with one approved live capture.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80f86df. 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:
ReadGlobGrepWebFetchWriteEdit
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):
assets.techsmith.comgithub.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 SDK Patterns 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 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 422 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.

Snagit Typed COM Adapter
Overview
This skill isolates vendor COM details from business workflow code. The adapter owns object creation, enum translation, configuration order, completion deadlines, event or polling behavior, normalized errors, result validation, disposal, and a fake implementation for tests.
Prerequisites
- Windows and a language/runtime capable of COM interop
- The installed Snagit type library plus TechSmith's current guide and official samples
- A repository boundary for adapter, domain request/result, and fakes
- Approved capture inputs, destinations, timeout, and retention policy
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
- Resolve
Snagit.ImageCapture.1through one factory and report registration errors distinctly. - Represent inputs with typed values desktop
0, window1, region4; outputs file2, clipboard4. - Configure file type, naming, directory, preview, and cursor before
Capture(). - Normalize asynchronous completion to a deadline-bound result containing success, state, and canonical file path.
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
- Read repository conventions and locate every direct COM creation or raw enum use.
- Define
CaptureRequest,CaptureResult, typed enums, normalized error categories, and cancellation behavior. - Implement a factory and adapter around the smallest official COM interface needed by the workflow.
- Add bounded event or polling completion, success checks, canonical path containment, file validation, and disposal.
- Write a fake adapter and tests for configuration order, timeout, failure, path escape, and cleanup.
- Migrate one caller at a time and compare results with one approved live capture.

Approval Boundaries
Do not expose the raw COM object to application layers, accept arbitrary ProgIDs or output paths, or make unbounded capture calls from request handlers.
Output
Return adapter interface, enum source, migrated callers, test matrix, live verification, compatibility notes, and remaining raw-COM sites.
Error Handling
| Condition | Response |
|---|---|
| Type library differs | Generate or bind against the installed version and record compatibility instead of forcing a cast. |
| Completion timeout | Return a typed timeout and block output consumption. |
| COM success but file invalid | Return an artifact-validation failure and quarantine the path. |
| Disposal fails | Record it and recycle the worker before accepting more jobs. |
Examples
The example below shows the minimum redacted evidence expected from a successful invocation of this operator workflow.
CaptureRequest(Input.Window, Output.File, approvedDir, timeout) -> CaptureResult(success, canonicalPath, elapsed)Resources
