Quick brief
Use asciinema when an agent should preserve a terminal interaction as a lightweight replayable cast for bug reports, onboarding, runbooks, or skill demonstrations. This is better than ordinary video capture when the important surface is the shell session itself, including commands, timing, and searchable terminal output. The scope boundary keeps it skill-shaped: record and replay terminal workflows, not general-purpose video production or a generic developer-product listing.
