$ npx skills add remotion-dev/skills --skill remotion-docs

$ npx skills add remotion-dev/skills

The first command installs just this skill, by the name in its SKILL.md; the second installs the whole repository.

This skill teaches you how to discover and read current Remotion documentation. If this is not relevant, load Remotion Best Practices instead.

Searching the docs

Use the Algolia search API to find relevant documentation pages:

POST https://plsduol1ca-dsn.algolia.net/1/indexes/*/queries?x-algolia-api-key=3e42dbd4f895fe93ff5cf40d860c4a85&x-algolia-application-id=PLSDUOL1CA
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

{
  "requests": [
    {
      "query": "<your search query>",
      "indexName": "remotion",
      "params": "attributesToRetrieve=[\"hierarchy.lvl0\",\"hierarchy.lvl1\",\"hierarchy.lvl2\",\"url\"]&hitsPerPage=10"
    }
  ]
}

Each hit contains a url field pointing to the documentation page.

Fetching a page as Markdown

Append .md to any Remotion docs URL to retrieve its Markdown source (saves tokens):

https://www.remotion.dev/docs/use-video-config.md
https://www.remotion.dev/docs/sequence.md
https://www.remotion.dev/docs/lambda/rendermediaonlambda.md

Workflow

Search Algolia for the concept or API you need.
Pick the most relevant URL(s) from the results.
Fetch each URL with the .md suffix.
Implement using the current documentation rather than memorized API knowledge.

How this issue was made

Source: github.com/remotion-dev/skills, branch main, last pushed 24 September 2026.
Licence: All rights reserved — view on GitHub — with no detectable licence, this issue links rather than republishes: the skills are omitted from the agent manifest and from the whole-book markdown.
Discovery: 12 skills found by walking the repository tree for SKILL.md, not by matching a directory convention. One layout observed: skills/*/SKILL.md.
Issue colours: Resolved from a curated brand profile — hue 254°, chroma 0.190. Two accent tones are generated per issue and each is proven against its own ground before it ships: a single accent that passes AA on both light and dark paper is arithmetically impossible.
Heading repairs: None needed in this skill: the outline was already valid.
Spec compliance: Every skill satisfies the Agent Skills specification’s frontmatter rules.
Images: Images inside a skill come from the upstream repository. Where the author gave no alternative text we mark the image decorative rather than inventing a description — a plausible caption we made up is worse than none for the reader who depends on it.
Signal: Install counts come from skills.sh. They measure downloads, not quality, and an unranked repository is not an unread one.
Agent surfaces: The whole issue is available as one markdown document at /remotion-dev/skills.md, and each skill at its own .md URL.
Publication: Set by Skills Docs from the source repository. Body text is Literata at the reader’s chosen size and measure; code is Geist Mono. Nothing on this page was written by us except this paragraph.
