Who it is forA developer who wants to show a teammate or record what a Claude Code session accomplished.
The problemA long agent session is hard to explain in a message, and sharing the raw transcript exposes more than the work itself.
The outcomeA narrated recap film of the session, built from allow-listed facts rather than the transcript text.
What you need first
- uv installed
- Node.js 24 or 22 LTS (20 or newer works)
- A supported coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Devin or OpenCode
- About 0.5 to 0.75 GB to download and 1.4 to 1.8 GB in ~/.showtime once installed
- A normal terminal for setup if the agent sandbox blocks the download
Steps
- Complete the Claude Code install with
/plugin marketplace add FavioVazquez/showtimeand/plugin install showtime@showtime. - Finish the one-time setup once you approve it.
- Run
showtime recap --latestfrom the Showtime command. - Review the rendered film in the output folder before sharing it.
Prompt for your agent
Using the showtime skill in the FavioVazquez/showtime repository, run `showtime recap --latest` to make a 30 to 60 second narrated recap of the most recent Claude Code session. Expect a rendered film in a new showtime-out/ folder. Verify that the narration uses only the allow-listed facts and does not quote the transcript text.
Caveat. The README describes this recap as built only from allow-listed facts and never the transcript text, so check the film before sharing it outside your team.
