shot-scraper video is a new command in shot-scraper 1.10 that accepts a storyboard.yml script and uses Playwright to record videos. It allows coding agents to auto-generate feature demos, such as demonstrating Datasette creating a new table from pasted CSV. The video was scripted by GPT-5.5 xhigh in Codex Desktop and generated via this command. The development process, including code and documentation, was also handled by GPT-5.5, making this a showcase of coding agent-assisted development.
