Microsoft open-sources Skill Recorder: record a desktop workflow once, Copilot CLI rebuilds a reusable Skill/Automation
Community coverage notes Microsoft open-sourced Skill Recorder (github.com/microsoft/skill-recorder, ~3.9k stars). After a local screen/activity capture, GitHub Copilot CLI reconstructs an intent plus ordered steps, then builds a SKILL.md Skill or schedulable Automation for Microsoft Scout, Copilot Cowork, and Copilot Studio—preferring native agent tools (gh, web_fetch) over click replay.
