What it does
Update Remotion Rust Ffmpeg is an agent skill from remotion-dev/remotion, published by the product's own GitHub organization.

When your agent uses it
- The final step of the rust-ffmpeg binary update chain
- Tasks that involve Video production
Example prompts
- “/update-remotion-rust-ffmpeg”
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:
bungitcargogh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Update Remotion Rust Ffmpeg loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 444 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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 444 words (~1,020 tokens).
“Require the full published rust-ffmpeg commit SHA from $update-rust-ffmpeg-sys.”
