About this skill

This skill manages Claude Code hooks for asciinema-tools automation, allowing installation, uninstallation, and status checking of backup and conversion hooks. It solves conflicts with existing Claude Code hooks by providing a dedicated interface for session-end automation. Developers should use it when integrating asciinema-tools with Claude Code workflows that require automatic backup or conversion on session termination.

SKILL.md

/asciinema-tools:tether

Manage Claude Code hooks for asciinema-tools automation.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

Arguments

Argument Description
install Add hooks to settings.json
uninstall Remove asciinema-tools hooks
status Show current hook configuration
--backup-on-stop Auto-backup when session ends
--convert-on-stop Auto-convert on session end
-y, --yes Skip confirmation prompts

Hook Definitions

PostToolUse Hook (backup-on-stop)

{
  "hooks": {
    "PostToolUse": [
      {
        "matcher": "Bash",
        "command": "asciinema-backup-if-active"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Execution

Skip Logic

  • If action provided -> execute directly
  • If hook type flags provided -> use specific hooks

Workflow

  1. Status: Read current ~/.claude/settings.json
  2. Action: AskUserQuestion for action type
  3. Hooks: AskUserQuestion for hook selection
  4. Execute: Modify settings.json
  5. Verify: Confirm changes applied

Examples

# Check current hook status
/asciinema-tools:tether status

# Install auto-backup hook
/asciinema-tools:tether install --backup-on-stop

# Install without prompts
/asciinema-tools:tether install -y

# Remove all asciinema hooks
/asciinema-tools:tether uninstall

Troubleshooting

Issue Cause Solution
jq not found jq not installed brew install jq
Settings file not found ~/.claude/ doesn't exist Create with mkdir -p ~/.claude
Hooks not working Session not restarted Restart Claude Code session
Backup not triggering No active recordings Start recording first with daemon

Post-Execution Reflection

After this skill completes, check before closing:

  1. Did the command succeed? — If not, fix the instruction or error table that caused the failure.
  2. Did parameters or output change? — If the underlying tool's interface drifted, update Usage examples and Parameters table to match.
  3. Was a workaround needed? — If you had to improvise (different flags, extra steps), update this SKILL.md so the next invocation doesn't need the same workaround.

Only update if the issue is real and reproducible — not speculative.
