What it does

Remotion's top-level skill, generated from the Remotion monorepo, routes an agent through creating a project, writing React markup and animation, maps, multimedia, captions, interactivity, previewing in Remotion Studio, rendering, building an app on the Player and upgrading. It bundles every sub-skill's reference files and sets house rules such as preserving the user's edits and opening the preview before rendering.
