This hits a real pain point. Writing SKILL.md files by hand for agent frameworks sounds simple but takes forever - you have to think through every edge case and decision branch.
The screen recording approach is smart because it captures implicit knowledge - the things you do instinctively that you would never think to document. Like checking if a field is empty before proceeding, or handling a slightly different UI state.
Would love to see how it handles workflows that span multiple apps (e.g., copy from browser, paste into terminal, check output, then update a spreadsheet). That is where manual skill-writing really breaks down.
