Hi @joelmccracken I have just announced “asciinwriter” ([Yet another tool to generate input - #3 by russoz](https://discourse.asciinema.org/t/yet-another-tool-to-generate-input/1009/3)) that serves exactly that purpose. I wanted to script the term demo of my project.

It consumes an input like:

```auto
  SEND(git clone --quiet --depth 1 https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general.git)
 ENTER()
EXPECT($ )

  SEND(cd community.general)
 ENTER()
EXPECT($ )
  SEND(ls)
 ENTER()
EXPECT($ )

  SEND(andebox test -R -- integration --docker default --python 3.13 pipx_info)
 ENTER()
EXPECT($ )

```

In fact, since you mentioned `expect`, this one is based on `expect` (or more precisely `pexpect`, the Python implementation of if).
