macos-screen-recorder
macOS screen recorder that captures the main display PLUS system audio via ScreenCaptureKit — no BlackHole/loopback driver, no sudo, just the standard Screen Recording permission. CLI-driven; fills the headless-screen-recording-with-system-sound gap QuickTime and `screencapture -v` can't.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

## When to Use Use when you need to script a screen recording WITH system sound on macOS from the CLI (demos, captures, voice-demo recording) — the case QuickTime and `screencapture -v` can't cover without a virtual audio device. _Source: [connerkward/macos-screen-recorder-system-audio](https://github.com/connerkward/macos-screen-recorder-system-audio) (MIT)._ # macos-screen-recorder (sck-record) `sck-record.swift` → compiled `sck-record` (binary gitignored; built by `setup-machine`, or `swiftc -O sck-record.swift -o sck-record`). Records the main display + system audio via ScreenCaptureKit. ``` ./sck-record <out.mp4> <seconds> ``` **The one true differentiator:** system audio from the CLI with **zero install** — no BlackHole / loopback virtual device, no sudo; only the standard Screen Recording permission (granted once to whatever app shells out). It is *not* a general "better than OBS/Screen Studio" tool — it fills exactly the headless-CLI-with-system-audio gap. `sck-record` is the raw capture primitive — it records, nothing more. To polish a recording afterward (idle speed-up, auto-zoom, keystroke chips, smoothed cursor, vertical export), pair it with [screenstudio-alternative-s

What does the macos-screen-recorder skill do?
macOS screen recorder that captures the main display PLUS system audio via ScreenCaptureKit — no BlackHole/loopback driver, no sudo, just the standard Screen Recording permission. CLI-driven; fills the headless-screen-recording-with-system-sound gap QuickTime and `screencapture -v` can't.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill macos-screen-recorder --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
