See setup guidance ↓Original source ↗ SOURCE REVIEW Reviewed 2026-09-21 Evidence 6 linked sources Publisher Remotion Licence No redistribution license found ↗ Revision bbb139d5ba37 Read what was—and wasn’t—checked ↓ “Router for all Remotion skills” Remotion · upstream description ↗ Our analysis follows below. 01 / THE REASONING ## Why this made the selection. - Keeps new-project scaffolding separate from adding a composition to an existing project. - The inspected creation guide preserves meaningful hidden files and distinguishes opening a preview from exporting a video. ### A good fit for - Building a programmatic video with React - Previewing a composition before an explicitly requested render ### Weigh up before choosing - This is a router into a larger reference package, so copying the definition alone loses the working guidance. - No redistribution license was found in the inspected skill repository; this catalogue provides no definition download. - Remotion runtime licensing, third-party media rights and optional cloud rendering costs must be checked separately. 02 / THE REVIEW RECORD ## What we actually inspected. Source review has boundaries. A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge. ### Material inspected - skills/remotion-best-practices/SKILL.md - skills/remotion-best-practices/remotion-create/REFERENCE.md - skills/remotion-best-practices/remotion-render/REFERENCE.md ### Our findings - The creation reference checks whether the folder already contains meaningful files before scaffolding. - It starts Studio for preview but instructs the agent to render only when explicitly requested. - The rendering reference routes advanced CLI options to current Remotion documentation. ### Not established by this review - Source inspection only; no skill installation or workflow execution was performed. The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior. 03 / PUT IT TO WORK ## Add a skill to your workflow. Upstream setup instructions ↗ DOCUMENTED COMMAND npx skills add https://github.com/remotion-dev/skills/tree/bbb139d5ba3709b1ffeb27184e9579c681230a08/skills/remotion-best-practices Copy command ↗ Copying does not execute this command. It may retrieve a newer version than the reviewed source. - Install the complete skill directory with its references and helpers; a copied SKILL.md alone may be incomplete. - Choose the intended agent and project scope in the installer, then review its permissions before using the skill. ### Before you start - Node.js/npm for this installer - An agent that supports the Agent Skills format - Complete skill references and a compatible Remotion runtime - Rights to the media and fonts used in the output ### Compatibility Claude Code, Codex, Kimi Code and Cursor are named by the publisher · Node.js/Git and a Remotion React project ### Create or edit React video code and install project dependencies - Create or edit React video code and install project dependencies - Launch a local preview server - Render files or use separately authorized cloud rendering ### Cost model Skill repository installation is documented without a price; Remotion runtime licensing and local or cloud rendering are separate considerations. 04 / FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE ## The source trail.
