TechSmith Desktop Automation CI

Overview

This skill separates portable checks from workstation-only product execution. Pull requests can validate scripts, enum contracts, manifests, and fixtures without installing licensed desktop software; a protected Windows lane may run a bounded smoke test only when the organization supplies an approved license and interactive session.

Prerequisites

• A repository containing the PowerShell, C#, deployment, or packaging assets
• A CI runner matrix that distinguishes ordinary hosted runners from approved TechSmith workstations
• Sanitized fixtures for COM success, missing registration, timeout, and file-output failure
• A named owner for any licensed smoke-runner credential and cleanup

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect local scripts, manifests, logs, and tests. Use WebFetch only for current primary TechSmith documentation. Use Write or Edit only after confirming the target repository file and approval boundary.
