Show your coding agent the bug. Skip the writeup.

Reel records your voice, clicks, console errors, network failures, and masked keystrokes, then writes a single Markdown timeline to your Downloads folder. Claude Code reads it like any other file.

What Reel does

Records what an agent needs Voice, clicks, screenshots, console errors, network failures, and masked keystrokes. The parts a coding agent can act on.

Writes the prompt for you Your intent goes at the top, then a single chronological timeline. Steer the agent by talking, or press / mid-recording to drop a typed note.

Lands on your disk recording.md and screenshots/click-N.jpg land in ~/Downloads/Reel/. Run claude from that folder and the agent has every screenshot by relative path.

  2. 2

    Review the artifact Review the generated transcript, click trail, selectors, URLs, and repro notes before anything leaves your machine.

  3. 3

    Hand it to an agent Paste the brief into Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex. Or open the saved folder and let your agent read it.
