Convert .cast recordings to .txt for analysis. TRIGGERS - convert cast, cast to txt, strip ANSI, batch convert.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# asciinema-converter

Convert asciinema .cast recordings to clean .txt files for Claude Code analysis. Achieves 950:1 compression (3.8GB -> 4MB) by stripping ANSI codes and JSON structure.

> **Platform**: macOS, Linux (requires asciinema CLI v2.4+)

> **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.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

- Converting .cast recordings to searchable .txt format
- Preparing recordings for Claude Code Read/Grep tools
- Batch converting multiple recordings
- Reducing storage size of session archives
- Extracting clean text from ANSI-coded terminal output

---

## Why Convert?

| Format | Size (22h session) | Claude Code Compatible | Searchable |
| ------ | ------------------ | ---------------------- | ---------- |
| .cast  | 3.8GB              | No (NDJSON + ANSI)     | Via jq     |
| .txt   | ~4MB               | Yes (clean text)       | Grep/Read  |

**Key benefit**: Claude Code's Read and Grep tools work directly on .txt output.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add terrylica/cc-skills/asciinema-converter@sha256:04f9cb0d4847425a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260401.b664eaf, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
