It also demonstrates a brilliant pattern for CLI design: packing detailed examples into <code>--help</code> output so it functions like an embedded skill file for coding agents.</p> <h2 id="posts">Posts<a class="anchor" href="#posts">#</a></h2> <p><strong><a href="https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jun/30/shot-scraper-video/#atom-everything">Have your agent record video demos of its work with shot-scraper video</a></strong> Simon details the new <code>shot-scraper video</code> command, which uses a <code>storyboard.yml</code> file to drive Playwright and record application demos. He built this entire feature—including the code, documentation, and the Pydantic-validated YAML schema—using GPT-5.5 xhigh in Codex Desktop. He notes that making tools easily usable by coding agents allows them to record their own demos, especially when commands include rich <code>--help</code> text that agents can read directly.</p>
