What it does
Helps with ai & agent building tasks.
Files
/asciinema-tools:play
Play terminal recordings in a dedicated iTerm2 window.
Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.
Arguments
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
file | Path to .cast file |
-s, --speed | Playback speed (e.g., -s 6) |
-i, --idle-time-limit | Max idle time in seconds |
-l, --loop | Loop playback |
-r, --resize | Match terminal to recording size |
-m, --markers | Pause on markers |
Execution
Invoke the asciinema-player skill with user-selected options.
Skip Logic
- If
fileprovided -> skip Phase 1 (file selection) - If
-sprovided -> skip Phase 2 (speed selection) - If any of
-i/-l/-r/-mprovided -> skip Phase 3 (options)
Workflow
1. Preflight: Check iTerm2 and asciinema 2. Discovery: Find .cast files 3. Selection: AskUserQuestion for file 4. Speed: AskUserQuestion for playback speed 5. Options: AskUserQuestion for additional options 6. Launch: Open iTerm2 via AppleScript
Examples
# Play recording at normal speed
/asciinema-tools:play session.cast
# Play at 6x speed
/asciinema-tools:play session.cast -s 6
# Play with idle time limit and looping
/asciinema-tools:play session.cast -i 2 -lTroubleshooting
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| iTerm2 not found | Not installed | brew install --cask iterm2 |
| Window not opening | AppleScript issue | Grant iTerm2 accessibility permissions |
| Playback stuttering | Large file | Use -i 1 to cap idle time |
Post-Execution Reflection
After this skill completes, check before closing:
1. Did the command succeed? — If not, fix the instruction or error table that caused the failure. 2. Did parameters or output change? — If the underlying tool's interface drifted, update Usage examples and Parameters table to match. 3. Was a workaround needed? — If you had to improvise (different flags, extra steps), update this SKILL.md so the next invocation doesn't need the same workaround.
Only update if the issue is real and reproducible — not speculative.
