What software dependencies are required for this skill?

This skill requires VHS (by Charmbracelet) for generating the animations. For live interactive recordings, asciinema is also required.

What is the best way to generate multiple demos at once?

The skill includes a batch generation feature that allows you to define multiple demos in a single YAML configuration file, ensuring consistency across your entire project.

How does the skill handle command timing?

The automated generator uses smart defaults, applying shorter pauses for simple commands like 'ls' and longer durations for heavy operations like 'npm install'.

Which output format should I use for my README?

GIF is the standard recommendation for README files and documentation for easy embedding, though MP4 is available for longer demos requiring better compression.

Can I customize the look and feel of the terminal demos?

Yes, you can customize the theme (e.g., Dracula, Nord, Monokai), font size, terminal width, and height to match your brand or documentation style.
