About this capability

Start the local @remotion/convert app and open it in the Codex browser. Use when the user invokes /convert or $convert, asks to launch convert.remotion.dev locally, or wants to inspect the Convert package UI.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by remotion-dev/remotion in .agents/skills/convert/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Overview

Prepare the Remotion monorepo, launch the Convert app, and open the served URL in the Codex in-app browser.

Workflow

  1. From the repository root, run:
bun i && bun run build
  1. Start the Convert app:
cd packages/convert && bun run dev
  1. Keep the server process running and read its output for the local URL. The expected default is http://localhost:5173, but follow the printed URL if Vite chooses another port.
  2. Open the URL in the Codex in-app browser. If no browser tool is available yet, use tool_search for the in-app browser control tool, then navigate to the local URL.
  3. Tell the user the Convert URL and whether this is a newly started or already running server.
