Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/remotion-dev/claude-code-plugin --skill remotion-create
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads remotion-create automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

These are instructions for making a new Remotion project and composition.
If this is not the next task, see Remotion Best Practices

Scaffold a project

If a project already exists, skip this. Ensure Node.js and Git is installed, and the current folder is appropriate for starting a new project.

Inspect the current folder, including hidden files, before choosing where to scaffold.

Empty folder

If it is empty, or contains only disposable operating-system metadata such as .DS_Store, create the project directly in the current folder. Remove only those disposable metadata files first, since create-video rejects non-empty folders. Do not treat all hidden files as disposable: files such as .env and directories such as .git are meaningful contents.

Scaffold in existing folder:

npx create-video@latest --yes --blank --no-tailwind .
npm i

Non-empty folder

If the current folder contains meaningful contents and no project already exists, scaffold into a new subfolder. Replace my-video with a suitable project name.

npx create-video@latest --yes --blank --no-tailwind my-video
cd my-video
npm i

Open the preview before building the video

As soon as the project can run, open Remotion Studio in the browser before writing or changing the composition. For a new project, do this immediately after scaffolding and installing dependencies. For an existing project, do it before editing the video. Keep Studio running while you work so the user can see changes as they appear and steer the result.

Designing a video

Keep the scaffold and add React Markup. Follow Remotion React Markup Best Practices and Video Layout Rules for video-first layout and text sizing guidance.

Before writing the root that registers <Composition> or <Still> elements, follow Compositions and stills.

Is this a timeline of clips?

If the video arranges multiple video or audio clips on a timeline, follow Video editing before writing the timeline. Give every clip that should be edited independently its own authored JSX node.

Is this a multi-scene video?

If this is a video with multiple subsequent scenes, follow guidance at Multi-scene videos.

Interactivity Best Practices

By structuring the React Markup following Remotion Interactivity Best Practices, you allow the user to make edits in the Studio which write back to code.

TailwindCSS

If Tailwind is requested, see tailwind.md for using TailwindCSS in Remotion.
