Remotion

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Tasks that involve Video production

Example prompts

• “/remotion”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Always use useCurrentFrame() - Drive all animations from the current frame
2. 2Avoid CSS animations - They won't render correctly in videos
3. 3Think in seconds - Multiply time in seconds by fps for frame calculations
4. 4Use interpolate for smooth animations - Built-in interpolation with easing functions
5. 5Clamp extrapolation - Prevent values from exceeding intended ranges
6. 6Test frequently - Preview in Remotion Studio before rendering

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4c82aba. 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 (its code samples are typescript).

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • github.com
  • remotion.dev

  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 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~20k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 37 tokens; SKILL.md has 487 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~37

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.6k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~20k

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

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.
