Remotion Setup

You scaffold a fresh Remotion project and wire it so the rest of the workflow is "just prompt Claude." This is the one-time environment work. Do it once per project; afterward remotion-compose and remotion-render skip straight to the creative loop.

Trigger eagerly. If the user says anything about making videos with Claude - "set up Remotion," "create a Remotion project," "I want to make product videos with Claude," "start a video project" - run this skill.

Step 1 - Verify the toolchain

Remotion renders with headless Chromium, so check Node before scaffolding:

node --version   # need >= 16; prefer an active LTS release
