  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 33 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by viralcode on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Remotion Video Toolkit AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/viralcode/openwhale.git /tmp/openwhale
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/openwhale/skills/remotion-video-toolkit .claude/skills/remotion-video-toolkit
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Remotion Video Toolkit in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Remotion Video Toolkit on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Remotion Video Toolkit is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Remotion Video Toolkit

Write React components, get real MP4 videos. This skill teaches your AI agent how to build with Remotion — from a first animation to a production rendering pipeline.

29 rules. Every major Remotion feature covered.


What you can build with this

Personalized video at scale Feed user data as JSON props, render a unique video per user. Think Spotify Wrapped, GitHub Unwrapped, onboarding walkthroughs — one template, thousands of outputs.

Automated social media clips Pull live data (stats, leaderboards, product metrics) and render daily or weekly video posts without anyone touching a timeline editor.

Dynamic ads and marketing videos Swap in customer name, product image, pricing. Same template, infinite variations. Render server-side via API or Lambda.

Animated data visualizations Turn dashboards and KPI reports into shareable video clips with animated charts and transitions.

TikTok and Reels captions Transcribe audio, display word-by-word highlighted subtitles, export ready for upload.

Product showcase videos Auto-generate from your database — images, specs, pricing — straight to MP4.

Educational and explainer content Animated course materials, certificate videos, step-by-step walkthroughs — all driven by code.

Video generation as a service Expose rendering as an HTTP endpoint. Your app sends JSON, gets back a video file.


Requirements

  • Node.js 18+
  • React 18+ (Remotion renders React components frame-by-frame)
  • Remotion — scaffold with npx create-video@latest
  • FFmpeg — ships with @remotion/renderer, no separate install needed
  • For serverless rendering: AWS account (Lambda) or GCP account (Cloud Run)

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Remotion Video Toolkit AI skill do?

Complete toolkit for programmatic video creation with Remotion + React. Covers animations, timing, rendering (CLI/Node.js/Lambda/Cloud Run), captions, 3D, charts, text effects, transitions, and media handling. Use when writing Remotion code, building video generation pipelines, or creating data-driven video templates.

Why use Remotion Video Toolkit on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Remotion Video Toolkit is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Remotion Video Toolkit in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/viralcode/openwhale/tree/main/skills/remotion-video-toolkit. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Remotion Video Toolkit?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Remotion Video Toolkit?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Remotion Video Toolkit with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Remotion Video Toolkit AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by viralcode. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
