At a glance

Record the user's screen as a video file. An agent skill from vellum-ai/vellum-assistant.

  • Works in 3 steps: commandIntent (structured command) -… → HTTP endpoints → Normal processing
  • SKILL.md covers Activation, Routing, Behavior Rules and What This Skill Does NOT Do
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Screen Recording is an agent skill from vellum-ai/vellum-assistant. Record the user's screen as a video file

Its SKILL.md is about 780 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Designed for Vellum personal assistants

The repository describes itself as: An AI Assistant that’s easy to setup, does your work 24/7, knows your preferences and gets better over time. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/screen-recording”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Vellum personal assistants

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. commandIntent (structured command) - highest priority
  2. HTTP endpoints
  3. Normal processing

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 33cc983. 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

    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

    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.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Vellum personal assistants

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Screen Recording loads about 779 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 14 tokens; SKILL.md has 384 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~14
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~779

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.

Capture screen recordings as video files attached to the conversation.

Activation

The user asks to start, stop, pause, resume, or restart a screen recording. Routing does not depend on matching phrases: see Routing below.

Routing

Recording is managed through dedicated HTTP endpoints (/v1/recordings/*) rather than text-based intent detection. Two routing mechanisms exist:

1. commandIntent (structured command) - highest priority

The macOS client can send structured intents with domain: 'screen_recording' and action: 'start' | 'stop' | 'restart' | 'pause' | 'resume'. These bypass text parsing entirely. The assistant checks for commandIntent before any text analysis.

2. HTTP endpoints

Clients call the recording HTTP endpoints directly:

  • POST /v1/recordings/start - start a screen recording
  • POST /v1/recordings/stop - stop the active recording
  • POST /v1/recordings/pause - pause the active recording
  • POST /v1/recordings/resume - resume a paused recording
  • GET /v1/recordings/status - get current recording status
  • POST /v1/recordings/status - recording lifecycle callback from the client
3. Normal processing

If no recording intent is detected, the message flows to the classifier and computer-use session as usual.

Behavior Rules

  1. Do not invoke computer use for recording-only requests. The assistant handles these directly.
  2. One recording at a time. If a recording is already active, starting another returns an "already recording" message.
  3. Conversation-linked. Each recording is linked to the conversation that started it for attachment purposes. However, since only one recording can be active at a time, stop commands from any conversation will stop the active recording regardless of which conversation started it.
  4. Permission required. Screen recording requires macOS Screen Recording permission. If denied, the user sees actionable guidance to enable it in System Settings.
  5. Mixed-intent prompts (recording + other task) are NOT intercepted by the standalone route - the recording action is deferred and executed alongside the task.
  6. Restart always reopens the source picker and requires source reselection.
  7. Restart cancel (user closes the source picker) leaves state idle - no false "recording started" message.
  8. Pause/resume toggle the recording without stopping it. The HUD shows paused state.

What This Skill Does NOT Do

  • This skill does not contain recorder logic - the RecordingManager and ScreenRecorder in the macOS app handle the actual recording.
  • This skill does not provide shell commands or scripts for recording.
  • This skill does not fall back to computer use for recording tasks.
  • This skill does not handle informational questions about recording - those flow through to normal AI response.
