Implementation verdict
Replaces manual screen recording and editing for feature demos. Requires shot-scraper 1.10+, Playwright 1.61.0+, YAML storyboard definition. Ready now—author shipped it today and demonstrates a working example. Key blocker was Playwright's screencast width limitation, now fixed. Start with --help output as your spec: it's detailed enough for LLMs to generate valid storyboards directly.
