Remotion Video

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Building programmatic videos with Remotion
• Creating animated content
• Producing marketing videos with code

Example prompts

• “/remotion-video”

Workflow steps

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

1. 1No useEffect for animations. Use useCurrentFrame() + interpolate().
2. 2Memoize static components. React.memo for anything that does not depend on frame.
3. 3Preload assets. staticFile() for local, prefetch() for remote URLs.
4. 4Keep compositions under 30s for fast render iteration during development.
5. 5Test at target resolution (1920x1080 or 1080x1080) before final render.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a8a63ec. 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:

  • git

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

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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

Remotion Video loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 296 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

~78

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

~1.1k

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.
