OpenAI Codex ‘Record & Replay’: Turn Screen Recordings Into Reusable Automation Skills The script explains a new OpenAI Codex feature, Record and Replay, which lets you record a recurring computer or browser task (like uploading a YouTube video) and automatically converts the recorded clicks, typing, and window content into a natural-language skill file (skill.md) that Codex can reuse for automated workflows. It shows how to enable Computer Use, Google Chrome, and the Record and Replay plugin, which sets up an MCP server and can record up to 30 minutes, with guidance to avoid sensitive information. A demo records creating a Google Sheet and collecting top stories from Hacker News and trending GitHub repos, then stopping the recording to synthesize the workflow into a skill that can be invoked automatically or via @ mentions. The script highlights that Codex may prefer connectors and deterministic scripts over UI clicking, sometimes augmenting the task to produce richer results than the original demo. 00:00 Codex Record and Replay 00:31 Why It Matters 01:19 Enable the Plugin 02:31 How Skills Are Invoked 03:12 Recording a Demo Workflow 04:10 Skill File Generated 05:23 Reusing the Skill 06:00 Scripts and Connectors 07:44 Results and Takeaways 09:00 Wrap Up and Subscribe
