What is video-generation?

A workflow for creating videos that are stored in a code repository using Remotion, a tool that renders videos from React and TypeScript code. It covers project setup, brand styling, audio attribution, rendering, and continuous-integration handling.

Use it for README hero videos, landing-page demos, case-study clips, and other product videos that need to be reviewed and maintained in code.

It gives repository-based videos a repeatable structure and keeps their source, assets, and rendering rules with the project. It is separate from one-off videos that are not committed to a repository.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Any agent

npx skills add desplega-ai/agent-swarm --skill video-generation

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/desplega-ai/agent-swarm

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install agent-swarm, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 30 skills, 11 commands, 5 agents, 6 hooks, 1 MCP server.

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	$0.00120	$0.02772
Opus 5.5	$0.00048	$0.01109
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00024	$0.00554
Haiku 4.5	$0.00012	$0.00277

Security

Grade B, and why

video-generation scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 15d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 196 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Video generation (Remotion)

Remotion (React + TypeScript) is the stack for videos that live in a repo: README heroes, landing demos, case-study clips, thread dramatizations. assets/video-source/ in desplega-ai/agent-swarm is the reference implementation; read it before starting a new project.

Golden rules

Remotion for repo-committed video. npx remotion studio for previews, remotion render for mp4s. For a one-off design-led cut with no repo, use open-prompt-showreel instead.
Ask for audio, don't pick it. Music is a brand call. A person on the team chooses the track (CC0 or CC BY 4.0, for example from https://freesound.org). Never grab something yourself; ask. There is no default bed.
Attribute in the video folder's README. Artist name, source URL, license. Not in the repo root README; in the video project's own README.
Design tokens mirror the product. Pull colors and fonts from the product's own globals.css (Agent Swarm: Space Grotesk + Space Mono, zinc dark palette, amber #f2a93b accent). Do not invent new ones.
Honest read pacing. The first draft always over-packs the opening and under-weights the payoff. Compress setup scenes, expand the one that carries the message. See "Pacing" below.
One Remotion project, many compositions. Do not spin up a new repo per video. Register additional <Composition> entries in src/Root.tsx and add a build:<slug> script.

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.

video-generation is a skill published in the GitHub repository desplega-ai/agent-swarm (891 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 120 tokens to every session and 2,772 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-02.
