About the jam skill
Directing Jam screen recordings and screenshots to the appropriate specialized skill is what this tool enables for developers. When a user provides a Jam link without a specific instruction or uses the /jam command, this skill analyzes the content to determine the next step. It acts as a central router that identifies whether a recording requires bug diagnosis, test generation, or task creation.
An agent should load this skill when a request is ambiguous or contains only a bare link. The process involves using the getDetails tool or retrieving a video transcript via getVideoTranscript to understand the user's intent. Once the intent is identified, the skill loads a specific target skill like jam-fix, jam-to-e2e, or jam-to-ticket. This ensures that the agent uses the correct specialized logic and references rather than attempting to process the recording content directly.
What an agent can do with it
- 1Route ambiguous Jam linksDirect a user's bare Jam link to the correct specialized skill by analyzing its content.
- 2Diagnose software bugsSend a recording containing an error or failed request to the bug fixing skill.

Read the request, pick one skill below, and load it with your skill tool
(the Skill tool in Claude Code, $name in Codex), not by opening its file,
so its references and scripts resolve. Do not do the work from this file;
the target skill holds the steps. Say which skill you picked in one line
before you start.
Route by what was asked
| The user wants | Load |
|---|---|
| the cause of a bug, a fix, triage, "what went wrong" | jam-fix |
| an e2e test, a regression test, a repro | jam-to-e2e |
| the changes they narrated done ("do what I said", "make it look like this") | jam-to-tasks |
| a ticket in Linear, GitHub Issues or Jira, or whether one exists | jam-to-ticket |
| a recorded Jam of their change working, a shareable demo video | jam-proof |
| a screenshot marked up and shared as a Jam | jam-annotate |
| one table of claims and the Jam that shows each | jam-proof-table |
| a video file they already have turned into Jams | video-to-jam |
| Jam set up for this agent: the CLI, sign-in, Jam MCP, the skills | jam-setup |
| a polished, narrated demo video of a feature | record-demo |
| a spoken voiceover on a video | add-voiceover |
| a terminal run recorded as a GIF for the pull request | record-terminal-proof |
Several asks in one request ("fix it and file a ticket"): run the skills in the order asked, and pass what the first one found to the next.
A Jam link with no clear ask
Read the Jam's details first: the getDetails MCP tool, or
jam get jam <id> --json. For a video with the mic on (micEnabled), read
the transcript too (getVideoTranscript, or jam get transcript <id> --json):
the spoken asks are there, and a title like "Feedback" says nothing about
them. If captions are not ready, wait a minute and retry once, then route on
the details and say so. Then route by what it holds:
- Several changes asked for, in the narration or in the title, description
or comments of a silent Jam:
jam-to-tasks. - One bug, an error, or a failed request:
jam-fix. It diagnoses without changing code, so it is the safe default. - Neither is clear: ask one question that names the options in plain words ("fix it, write a test for it, or file a ticket?").
Nothing matches
For anything else about Jams (list, search, comment, move to a folder),
use the Jam MCP tools or the jam CLI directly. jam agent-context prints
every command.
Send feedback to Jam
When this skill, a Jam MCP tool, a jam command or a Jam doc was wrong,
stale or confusing, or worked unusually well, tell Jam. Send it yourself:
Jam's agents read it, so it needs no approval.
Call the submitFeedback MCP tool with body, category and subject.
When MCP is unavailable, use the CLI:
jam feedback "<what you were doing, what you expected, what happened, the mistake>" --category <skills|mcp|cli|docs> --subject <skill name, tool name or command>
- Jam surfaces only, not the user's code or other tools.
- At most once per session, and never for a slip you corrected yourself.
- No secrets, customer data, source code, stack traces or recording content.

2jam skill questions
How do I install the jam skill in Claude Code?
Run npx degit jamdotdev/skills/skills/jam ~/.claude/skills/jam. Claude Code loads skills from ~/.claude/skills (all projects) or .claude/skills (one project) and uses a skill when its description matches the task.
Which clients can use the jam skill?
Any client that reads the Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and claude.ai (upload as a ZIP). Scripts in the skill run only where the client allows code execution.
How does the skill handle a Jam link with no clear instructions?
It reads the Jam details using MCP tools or the CLI, and if it is a video with audio, it reads the transcript to identify spoken requests.
What should I do if the user's request matches multiple tasks?
You should run the skills in the order they were requested, passing the output of the first skill to the next.
How can I provide feedback if the skill or tool is behaving incorrectly?
You can use the submitFeedback MCP tool or the jam feedback CLI command to report issues.
