Skill Recorder keeps your screen local until you press Analyze

Microsoft released Skill Recorder, an app that records user actions and turns them into skills and automations for AI agents via Copilot. Recording, storage, and transcription via Whisper (99 languages, ~252 MB model) are local, but pressing Analyze sends data — window titles, URLs, clipboard previews, and screen images — to GitHub cloud.

DEV Community Open source

Recording, frames, and Whisper transcription run locally
Pressing Analyze sends data to GitHub cloud for Copilot
Result is a SKILL.md skill or scheduled automation
Requires GitHub account with Copilot access; build from source on Node.js 24
