## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

- Building tools that read or write .cast files
- Debugging recording issues or format errors
- Learning the asciicast v2 specification

---

## Format Overview

Asciinema v3 uses NDJSON (Newline Delimited JSON) format:

- Line 1: Header object with recording metadata
- Lines 2+: Event arrays with timestamp, type, and data

---

## Header Specification

The first line is a JSON object with these fields:

| Field       | Type   | Required | Description                                 |
| ----------- | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| `version`   | int    | Yes      | Format version (always 2 for v3 recordings) |
…
