remotion-docs — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
This skill helps an agent find current Remotion documentation and read it as Markdown. Use it before implementing Remotion features or APIs.
npx skills add remotion-dev/skills --skill remotion-docs -a claude-codeWhat remotion-docs does
remotion-docs teaches an agent to search Remotion documentation through the Algolia Search API. The agent sends a query for a concept or API, selects relevant pages, and reads the page addresses returned by the search.
It then adds the .md suffix to a documentation address and fetches the Markdown version of the page. This workflow keeps implementation work tied to current Remotion docs instead of remembered API details. The skill is available for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode.
Install it when an agent needs to verify Remotion APIs before coding. Skip it for tasks unrelated to Remotion documentation.
What it helps with
- find a Remotion documentation page for an API
- check the current usage of a Remotion function
- read Remotion docs in Markdown
- prepare an agent to work with the current API
Example prompts for the agent
- Search the Remotion docs for how to use `useVideoConfig`, then read the page as Markdown.
- Check the current API for `Sequence` before implementing the component.
- Find the Lambda rendering documentation and use it while preparing the code.
