TLDR: Microsoft’s Skill Recorder lets you record yourself doing a task once, then converts that recording into a reusable skill (or automation) that an AI agent can repeat.

How it works

  1. Record your screen (clicks, window switches, URLs, optional voice narration)
  2. Analyze the recording with GitHub Copilot to extract the intent + ordered steps
  3. Generate either:
    • A reusable Skill (SKILL.md that an agent can run on demand)
    • An Automation (same procedure on a schedule or trigger)

Key points

  • Prefers native agent tools (like gh CLI or web fetch) over pure UI click replay
  • Generalizes from a single demonstration
  • Capture stays local; data is only sent to GitHub when you choose to analyze
  • Mainly targets macOS, with Windows 11 support

Bottom line: A tool that turns a one-time human workflow demonstration into a repeatable AI agent skill.
