TechSmith Local Capture and File Events

Overview

Snagit COM offers capture event callbacks or completion polling, while local files can be observed with an operating-system watcher; these are local signals, not authenticated vendor webhooks. This skill converts noisy callbacks into durable artifact-ready events only after the file is stable and valid.

Prerequisites

• Approved local directory, artifact types, data classification, and retention
• One durable event store with job identity, source path hash, and processing state
• A bounded watcher lifetime, reconciliation interval, and shutdown behavior
• Downstream consumer contract and quarantine destination

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.
