A Remotion skill is a packaged set of rules, shot recipes, and reference implementations that an AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) follows to build product videos with Remotion. Instead of inventing motion from scratch, the agent picks tuned shot cards and copies parameters from real TSX demos.
“Agent skill” / “claude code skill” demand
Most people searching claude code skill or agent skill are not looking for one specific package — they want their coding agent to do more without fighting local setup. Shotpack is the remote agent skill: rules at skill.md, a machine index at /api/catalog.json, and reference TSX served over public URLs. No skills add, no cloning a repo, no MCP server to configure.
That also covers remotion mcp searches — instead of wiring an MCP server for Remotion, your agent just reads llms.txt and fetches shot sources over HTTP.
Remotion skill vs Shotpack (remote)
| Local Remotion skill | Shotpack (this site) | |
|---|---|---|
| Install | skills add / clone a large repo |
None — HTTP fetch |
| Index | Files on disk | /api/catalog.json |
| Source of truth | Local demo.tsx |
Public demo.tsx URLs |
| Free set | Depends on the skill | 12 shots with open TSX |
| Paid | Usually open-source all | Core pack $9.9 buyout |
Shotpack is for teams that want the same agent workflow without syncing a full skill tree. Paste one line; the agent reads the remote index and implements from the published TSX.
How to use a Remotion skill with Shotpack
- Give your agent this entrypoint:
Read https://YOUR_ORIGIN/llms.txt and https://YOUR_ORIGIN/api/catalog.json.
Implement shot letterspace-materialize using its demo.tsx as the source of truth.
- The agent loads
skill.mdrules, then the machine catalog. - For a free shot it fetches
card.md+demo.tsx(orprompt.md). - It never invents easing/timing from the shot name alone — the TSX is authoritative.
Replace YOUR_ORIGIN with your deployed Shotpack host (local dev: http://127.0.0.1:4173).
Install path (when you still want a local skill)
Search demand for “remotion skill install” and “remotion skill github” usually means cloning an open-source skill into Claude Code / Codex. That path is fine for offline work. Shotpack is the remote alternative: same recipe idea, fetch over URL, unlock core shots when you need the denser pack.

FAQ
Is Shotpack a Remotion skill?
It behaves like one for agents (rules + shot index + TSX), but it is delivered as a static remote site, not a local skill package.
Is Shotpack an agent skill or a Claude Code skill?
Both, without being one to install. It works as an agent skill for any coding agent — Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex — because they all read llms.txt + catalog.json over HTTP. There is no skills add and no MCP server to wire, which is why a remotion mcp search can be answered by Shotpack too.
Can Claude Code use Shotpack without installing anything?
Yes. Point Claude Code (or Cursor / Codex) at llms.txt and catalog.json. Free shots resolve to public demo.tsx files.
