What it does

Add Expert is an agent skill from remotion-dev/remotion, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Add a new expert to the Remotion experts page

Its SKILL.md is about 390 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video production. It works with Remotion. The repository describes itself as: 🎥 Make videos programmatically with React.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Video production

Example prompts

  • “/add-expert”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Add the expert's photo to both
  2. Add an entry to the experts array in packages/promo-pages/src/components/experts/experts-data.tsx
  3. Render the expert card by running in packages/docs

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1e4c5de. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bun

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • cal.com

    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

Add Expert loads about 392 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 14 tokens; SKILL.md has 90 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~14
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~392

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 90 words (~392 tokens).

“The image should be a square headshot (PNG format). Both paths must have the same file.”
