Generates professional animated CLI demos as GIFs using VHS terminal recordings. Use to create terminal demos, record CLI workflows as GIFs, generate animated documentation, build demo tapes for README files, or showcase any command-line tool visually: record terminal / VHS tape / demo GIF / animate my CLI.
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
# CLI Demo Generator
Create professional animated CLI demos. Four approaches, from fully automated to pixel-precise manual control.
## Quick Start
**Simplest path** — give commands, get GIF:
```bash
python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/auto_generate_demo.py \
-c "npm install my-package" \
-c "npm run build" \
-o demo.gif
```
**Self-bootstrapping demo** — for repeatable recordings that clean their own state:
```bash
python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/auto_generate_demo.py \
-c "npm install my-package" \
-c "npm run build" \
-o demo.gif \
--bootstrap "npm uninstall my-package 2>/dev/null" \
--speed 2
```
## Critical: VHS Parser Limitations
VHS `Type` strings cannot contain `$`, `\"`, or backticks. These cause parse errors:
```tape
# FAILS — VHS parser rejects special chars
Type "echo \"hello $USER\""
Type "claude() { command claude \"$@\"; }"
```
**Workaround: base64 encode the command**, decode at runtime:
```bash
# 1. Encode your complex command
echo 'claude() { command claude "$@" 2>&1 | grep -v "noise"; }' | base64
# Output: Y2xhdWRlKCkgey4uLn0K
# 2. Use in tape
Type "echo Y2xhdWRlKCkgey4uLn0K | base64 -d > /tmp/wrapper.sh && source /tmp/wrapper.sh"

How to install
mdr add daymade/claude-code-skills/cli-demo-generator@sha256:689e1d6f62108b33The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.943df48, 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.
