Agent-readable recordings and the AREC format

An agent-readable recording is a screen recording your AI agent can read instead of watch. These guides explain the idea, take apart the markdown twin field by field, and show you how to give Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex video context in about a minute. The underlying format, AREC (Agent Recording), is open, and the draft spec lives at /spec.
