## What it does

The skill provides reference documentation for five map animation workflows in Remotion. It outlines setups for static images mounted in `<Img>`, Mapbox, MapLibre, MapTiler, and CesiumJS flythroughs.

Technique folders are completely isolated. The instructions require choosing exactly one method per shot and loading only its `TECHNIQUE.md` file. While Mapbox needs an API key to display 3D landmarks or a round globe, MapLibre runs without credentials.

## Install

### Codex (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill remotion-maps -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/remotion-maps/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Claude Code

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add openai/plugins --skill remotion-maps -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/remotion-maps/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/remotion-maps/

### Cursor

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/remotion-maps/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install openai/plugins remotion-maps
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/remotion-maps/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/openai/plugins --path plugins/remotion/skills/remotion-maps
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/remotion-maps/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/openai/plugins/tree/HEAD/plugins/remotion/skills/remotion-maps/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- set up 3D mountain flythroughs using CesiumJS
- render interactive maps without API keys using MapLibre
- draw annotations over rivers and borders with MapTiler
- animate 3D buildings and globe views in Mapbox

## Example prompts
- Create a flight simulator terrain flythrough in Remotion with CesiumJS.
- Set up a Mapbox animation showing a 3D globe and the Eiffel Tower.
- Animate a basic map with MapLibre without using an API key.

# Remotion Maps

Choose exactly one technique from the intended shot, then load only that technique's `TECHNIQUE.md`.
Every technique directory is self-contained and may be removed without breaking the others.

## [Static map](techniques/static-map/TECHNIQUE.md)

- Requires you grab a satellite image and mount it in a `<Img>` tag, and animate on top

## [Mapbox](techniques/mapbox/TECHNIQUE.md)

- Requires a Mapbox key
- Nicer styles by default
- Map can display a round globe when zoomed out
- Includes nice 3D buildings such as the Eiffel tower

## [MapLibre](techniques/maplibre/TECHNIQUE.md)

- Requires no API key, fully free
- Does not include 3D building

## [MapTiler](techniques/maptiler/TECHNIQUE.md)

- Uses MapTiler
- Annotations can be drawn on top of geographic features: borders, rivers, labels

## [CesiumJS](techniques/cesium/TECHNIQUE.md)

- Flythroughs through terrain and mountains
- "Flight simulator" perspective
```
