openclicky-screen-tour

name	openclicky-screen-tour
description	Create recordable OpenClicky visual tours with multiple simultaneous markers, area-focused overlays, primary cursor choreography, screenshots, captions, and TTS. Use when the user asks to show several things at once, focus markers into one screen region, make a demo easier to record, explain what is on screen visually, or animate a guided screen tour.
version	1.0.0
argument-hint	[area or topic to tour visually]

OpenClicky compatibility guardrails

• Follow ../_shared/OpenClickySkillCompatibilityPolicy.md before acting.
• Verify required local commands, tools, keys, or bridge endpoints before promising execution.
• Treat sends, publishes, deploys, deletes, moves, merges, playlist/library changes, cloud writes, and app-control clicks as external writes unless this skill narrows them further.
• Stop and report the exact missing setup step for unavailable tools, auth, or macOS permissions; do not loop or silently switch to browser automation.

Use OpenClicky's local external-control bridge to create a visual tour directly on the user's screen.

Bridge base URL:

Health check before a tour if unsure:

curl -s http://127.0.0.1:32123/health

Core behavior

• Use POST /cursors for multiple simultaneous temporary markers.
• Use default POST /cursor for the primary OpenClicky pointer choreography. This uses OpenClicky's existing smooth point-and-return animation and must not warp the real macOS pointer.
• Use POST /speak for a short spoken explanation.
• Use POST /screenshot first when you need to see or locate the UI.
• Use POST /clear between scenes so old markers do not clutter the recording.

Keep tours short, visual, and recordable. Prefer 3-6 markers, short captions, and one clear area of the screen.

Coordinate model

Coordinates are macOS/AppKit global screen coordinates with origin at the bottom-left of the global desktop.

For recordable area-focused tours, calculate points from the current screen's visibleFrame rather than hardcoding coordinates. This avoids marker clusters on different displays.

Area-focused multi-marker tour

Use this pattern when the user says something like:

• "focus them all in the top left quarter"
• "I want to record this more easily"
• "show multiple things at the same time"
• "move them around and describe parts of this area"

Screenshot-driven tour

When the user asks you to describe what is on the screen:

1. Capture screenshots.
2. Inspect the screenshot content.
3. Pick a compact region if the user wants to record.
4. Place simultaneous secondary markers for visible items.
5. Use primary /cursor to visit the most important items.
6. Speak one short summary.

curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:32123/screenshot \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"focused":false}'

The screenshot response includes image paths and display frames. Use the display frame to convert visual positions to AppKit coordinates.

Tour guidelines

• Keep labels to 1-3 words when possible.
• Keep all points inside the requested region.
• Avoid hardcoded low coordinates like 500,500; they can cluster at the bottom-left on large displays.
• Clear stale overlays before changing scenes.
• Use secondary markers for simultaneous context and the primary cursor for the current focus.
• Prefer a short spoken setup before the markers and a short spoken recap after.
• If the user is recording, use a compact region and avoid covering important text with large captions.

Minimal commands

Multiple markers:

curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:32123/cursors \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"durationMs":4500,"cursors":[{"x":640,"y":980,"caption":"Menu","accentHex":"#60A5FA"},{"x":820,"y":820,"caption":"Editor","accentHex":"#34D399"}]}'

Primary choreography:

curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:32123/cursor \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"x":820,"y":820,"caption":"Editor","durationMs":2500}'

Speak:

curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:32123/speak \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"text":"I am marking the important parts of this area.","interrupt":true}'

Clear:

curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:32123/clear

Current visual tool boundary

Screen tours may use primary cursor choreography, secondary marker cursors, captions, screenshots, speech, clear, temporary freehand scribbles, and temporary rectangle highlights. They must not promise unsupported spotlight masks, persistent highlight boxes, arrows, or area dimming.

Use show_scribble for short freehand emphasis and show_highlight / show_rectangle for bounded areas. The renderer clamps duration, line width, opacity, and desktop bounds. Use /clear between scenes.
