What is render_promo?

A command that renders a Remotion video project, where videos are created with React and code, into an MP4, GIF, or still image. It checks for the source project, installs missing dependencies, and type-checks the code before rendering.

Use it to export the SWARM promotional video as an MP4, GIF, or selected still frame, optionally opening the result.

It gathers the setup and validation steps needed to produce a video file in one workflow. It also explains how to obtain the project if its source folder is missing.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00721
Opus 5	$0.00000	$0.00360
Sonnet 5	$0.00000	$0.00144
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00072

Security

Grade A, and why

render_promo scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Render the SWARM Remotion promo video to MP4, GIF, or still frame.

Note: The promo/ source code has been moved to swarm-ai-research/swarm-artifacts. Clone that repo first if promo/ is not present locally.

Usage

/render_promo [--format mp4|gif|still] [--frame N] [--open]

Examples:

/render_promo (renders MP4, opens it)
/render_promo --format gif
/render_promo --format still --frame 60

Behavior

Step 0: Check promo/ exists

If promo/ is not present, instruct the user:

promo/ not found. Clone it from the artifacts repo:
  git clone https://github.com/swarm-ai-research/swarm-artifacts.git /tmp/swarm-artifacts
  cp -R /tmp/swarm-artifacts/promo ./promo

Step 1: Install dependencies (if needed)

cd promo && npm ls remotion 2>/dev/null || npm install

Only install if node_modules is missing or incomplete.

Step 2: Type-check

cd promo && node_modules/.bin/tsc --noEmit

If type errors exist, fix them before rendering. Common issues:

Missing typescript dev dependency: npm install typescript --save-dev
Unicode escape sequences in JSX: use actual characters instead of \uXXXX

Step 3: Render

MP4 (default):

cd promo && npx remotion render SwarmPromo out/swarm-promo.mp4

GIF:

cd promo && npx remotion render SwarmPromo out/swarm-promo.gif --image-format=png --every-nth-frame=2

Still frame:

cd promo && npx remotion still SwarmPromo --frame=<N> out/thumbnail.png

Default frame for stills: 60 (shows the SWARM title fully animated). Frame 0 is too dark.

Step 4: Report and open

Rendered:
  Format:   <mp4|gif|still>
  Output:   promo/out/<filename>
  Size:     <file size>
  Duration: <seconds if video>

Then open the output:

open promo/out/<filename>

Project Structure

The Remotion project lives in promo/:

promo/src/Root.tsx — Composition definition (1170 frames, 30fps, 1920x1080)
promo/src/SwarmPromo.tsx — Scene sequencing via TransitionSeries
promo/src/scenes/*.tsx — Individual scenes
promo/src/theme.ts — Shared colors and fonts
promo/out/ — Render output (gitignored)

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
