What it does

Techsmith Security Basics is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Harden Snagit and Camtasia automation around capture consent, license secrecy, local storage, share destinations, least privilege, and artifact review. Use when threat-modeling or approving a TechSmith workflow. Trigger with "TechSmith security", "secure Snagit automation", or "Camtasia data controls".

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 Security, covering Threat modeling. 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

  • Threat-modeling
  • Approving a TechSmith workflow
  • With TechSmith security
  • Secure Snagit automation

Example prompts

  • “TechSmith security”
  • “secure Snagit automation”
  • “Camtasia data controls”
  • “/techsmith-security-basics”

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. Map actors, endpoint privileges, capture devices, project/media paths, share outputs, activation flow, and downstream publishers.
  2. Classify threats: unintended capture, secret leakage, path traversal, malicious project/media, unauthorized upload, and persistence.
  3. Constrain worker identity, session access, COM/recorder operations, input/output roots, and network destinations.
  4. Configure approved deployment restrictions for sharing, updates, analytics, assets, or cloud features according to policy.
  5. Add redacted audit events for authorization, job identity, product/version, output hash, validation, promotion, and deletion.
  6. Exercise denial, cancellation, wrong-path, secret-scan, and incident-containment scenarios before approval.

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:

    • 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):

    • assets.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 Security Basics 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 410 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
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 Desktop Automation Security Boundary

Overview

Desktop capture and media production cross sensitive screen, microphone, camera, filesystem, cloud-sharing, and licensing boundaries. This skill makes those boundaries explicit and keeps automation narrower than an interactive user's full capabilities.

Prerequisites

  • Workflow, users, endpoints, product versions, and data classification
  • Approved capture subjects, devices, destinations, retention, and sharing policy
  • License model and secret owner
  • Deployment controls, endpoint protection, audit logging, and incident response

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

  • Software keys and offline activation artifacts are secrets; keep them out of code, chat, logs, and unrestricted process arguments.
  • Require explicit scope and consent for screen, microphone, camera, and clipboard operations.
  • Use allowlisted local input/output roots and promote only validated artifacts.
  • Use TechSmith deployment controls to disable unapproved share destinations or connected features rather than relying on operator memory.

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. Map actors, endpoint privileges, capture devices, project/media paths, share outputs, activation flow, and downstream publishers.
  2. Classify threats: unintended capture, secret leakage, path traversal, malicious project/media, unauthorized upload, and persistence.
  3. Constrain worker identity, session access, COM/recorder operations, input/output roots, and network destinations.
  4. Configure approved deployment restrictions for sharing, updates, analytics, assets, or cloud features according to policy.
  5. Add redacted audit events for authorization, job identity, product/version, output hash, validation, promotion, and deletion.
  6. Exercise denial, cancellation, wrong-path, secret-scan, and incident-containment scenarios before approval.

Approval Boundaries

Do not disable endpoint security, broaden share outputs, record hidden devices, retain clipboard data, or upload artifacts merely to prove connectivity.

Output

Return assets, threats, controls, residual risks, data-flow boundaries, deployment restrictions, audit events, test evidence, and accountable owners.

Error Handling

ConditionResponse
