What it does
Remotion is an agent skill from archibate/dotfiles-opencode. Documentation for Remotion - Video creation in React. TRIGGER when working with Remotion code, video composition, React-based video generation, or user mentions "remotion", "video composition", "create animation", "create video".
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 42 other files (for example `rules/3d.md`, `rules/animations.md` and `rules/assets.md`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video production. It works with Remotion, React and FFmpeg. The repository describes itself as: Archibate's personal configuration for OpenCode.
When your agent uses it
- Working with Remotion code
- Video composition
- React-based video generation
- User mentions remotion
Example prompts
- “remotion”
- “video composition”
- “create animation”
- “/remotion”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 46b6b23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Remotion loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 384 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 384 words (~1,101 tokens).
