What this skill tells your AI

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

Remotion Studio operates in four modes:

Regular interactive Studio: Started with npx remotion studio. A Studio server is attached and the Studio is fully interactive. It can render server-side, use "Open in" actions, execute codemods, install packages, and perform other server-backed actions.
Regular Studio with the preview server detached: previewServerConnected is false. The Studio is effectively read-only, although client-side rendering remains available.
Read-only Studio: A deployed Studio with no server attached. Hide or disable actions that require a server. GitHub is the only supported "Open in" action.
Browser Studio: Deployed at remotion.dev/new and backed by a virtual file system that is hidden from the user. It cannot use "Open in" actions, but it can install dependencies and execute codemods.

When adding or changing a Studio action, determine which modes support it and hide or disable it everywhere else.
