--- name: techsmith-ci-integration description: >- Gate Snagit COM and Camtasia automation changes with secretless contract tests plus an explicitly licensed Windows smoke lane. Use when adding CI for TechSmith scripts or deployment assets. Trigger with "TechSmith CI", "Snagit contract tests", or "Camtasia automation checks". argument-hint: "[repository-path] [windows-runner-label]" allowed-tools: Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, Write, Edit version: 1.6.0 author: Jeremy Longshore license: MIT tags: - desktop-automation - techsmith - ci model: inherit effort: medium compatibility: Designed for Claude Code; TechSmith product execution requires an approved Windows or macOS desktop as documented --- # TechSmith Desktop Automation CI ## Overview This skill separates portable checks from workstation-only product execution. Pull requests can validate scripts, enum contracts, manifests, and fixtures without installing licensed desktop software; a protected Windows lane may run a bounded smoke test only when the organization supplies an approved license and interactive session. ## Prerequisites - A repository containing the PowerShell, C#, deployment, or packaging assets - A CI runner matrix that distinguishes ordinary hosted runners from approved TechSmith workstations - Sanitized fixtures for COM success, missing registration, timeout, and file-output failure - A named owner for any licensed smoke-runner credential and cleanup ## Tool Discipline Use `Read`, `Glob`, and `Grep` to inspect local scripts, manifests, logs, and tests. Use `WebFetch` only for current primary TechSmith documentation. Use `Write` or `Edit` only after confirming the target repository file and approval boundary. ## Current Contract - Keep the default pull-request lane secretless and independent of Snagit or Camtasia installation. - Validate official Snagit enum values: window `1`, region `4`, file output `2`, clipboard output `4`. - Do not make `CamtasiaProducer.exe` or a legacy exporter a CI prerequisite for current releases. - Treat the licensed Windows smoke lane as optional, protected, serialized, and manually dispatchable. ## Licensing and Authentication TechSmith desktop activation is not API authentication. Resolve individual sign-in versus business-key or approved offline activation before execution. Redact all keys, account identifiers, activation artifacts, and sensitive endpoint details. ## Instructions 1. Inventory scripts, manifests, expected output paths, and all places that instantiate a COM object or product executable. 2. Add parser, lint, and unit checks for argument construction, bounded polling, exit handling, redaction, and cleanup. 3. Use fakes for `IsCaptureDone`, `LastCaptureSucceeded`, and `LastFileWritten`; cover timeout and wrong-path cases. 4. Pin a Windows runner label for the product smoke job and require a protected environment with no fork-secret exposure. 5. Run one non-destructive COM creation probe or recorder version probe; never create an unattended recording in pull requests. 6. Publish JUnit-style results and a redacted environment manifest, then remove temporary artifacts. ## Approval Boundaries Do not place a software key in repository secrets available to forked workflows. Do not install, activate, record, capture, or upload user content on an unapproved hosted runner. ## Output Return portable-gate results, fixture coverage, licensed-lane disposition, runner identity, product/version evidence, artifact cleanup, and any blocked approval. ## Error Handling | Condition | Response | |---|---| | No Windows smoke runner | Pass portable gates and report the product smoke as explicitly skipped. | | COM class not registered | Fail the smoke lane with registration diagnostics; do not retry installation. | | Interactive desktop unavailable | Stop before capture and classify the runner as unsuitable. | | Secret detected in logs | Cancel publication, rotate the credential, and purge the artifact. | ## Examples The example below shows the minimum redacted evidence expected from a successful invocation of this operator workflow. ```text lane=portable; scripts=pass; enum_contract=pass; licensed_smoke=skipped(no-approved-runner) ``` ## Resources - [Skill-specific official documentation](references/official-docs.md) - [Recorder command line](https://support.techsmith.com/hc/en-us/articles/203728678-Using-Command-Lines-to-Operate-the-Camtasia-Recorder) - [Official COM samples](https://github.com/TechSmith/Snagit-COM-Samples) --- Source attribution: jeremylongshore Original project: https://github.com/jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills/blob/ab85a061f7bcc039dac13ee193de7a4cd4388571/plugins/saas-packs/techsmith-pack/skills/techsmith-ci-integration/SKILL.md License: MIT License information: https://opensource.org/license/mit Original upstream instructions; downloaded from Mega AI Hub. ## Upstream license notice MIT License Copyright (c) 2025 Jeremy Longshore Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
