About this Skill
Renders a terminal demo video from code: a command types itself out, output lines stream in with a blinking caret, and a success line lands in the accent color. The script of the video is a small data array — swap the lines and the same project produces a demo for any CLI tool, automation, or deploy pipeline.

FAQ
How do I change what the terminal says?
Edit the LINES array at the top of the component — text, color, start frame, and speed per line.
Can it show my real tool's output?
Yes. Paste your real lines in; keep each under about 52 characters so nothing overflows the card.
