Summary

The Remotion Upgrade agent skill automates the process of updating Remotion and its associated packages, including Mediabunny, to their latest compatible versions, handling both CLI-driven and manual upgrade paths. This agent skill is designed for developers maintaining projects that use the Remotion framework, ensuring their video rendering applications stay current with the latest features and fixes. It is a skill with 29K installs, indicating widespread adoption within the registry. It first inspects project manifests and lockfiles to determine the package manager and existing Remotion CLI setup. If `@remotion/cli` is present, it directly executes `npx remotion upgrade` to update all packages and project-local Remotion skills. Otherwise, it manually finds and upgrades all `remotion` and `@remotion/*` dependencies, determines and installs the compatible `mediabunny` versions, and explicitly updates a list of common Remotion skills.

Skill Definition

Inspect the project manifests and lockfile to identify the package manager and workspaces. Preserve unrelated changes.
Determine whether @remotion/cli is locally available. If it is, run:
```
npx remotion upgrade
```
This also updates project-local Remotion skills. Skip the manual upgrade below.
If @remotion/cli is not available, upgrade manually:
- Get the latest stable Remotion version with npm view remotion version.
- Find every installed remotion and @remotion/* dependency across the project and upgrade them all to that exact version. Preserve their dependency sections and the project's workspace or catalog conventions.
- Read the @remotion/studio dependencies for the target Remotion version using npm view @remotion/studio@<version> dependencies --json. Align installed auxiliary packages such as zod, mediabunny, and @huggingface/transformers with the versions listed there. Use the mediabunny version for installed @mediabunny/* packages.
- Run the project's package manager to update its lockfile.

If @remotion/cli is not available, update the installed Remotion skills:

npx skills update remotion-best-practices remotion-captions remotion-create remotion-docs remotion-interactivity remotion-license remotion-maps remotion-markup remotion-multimedia remotion-render remotion-saas remotion-studio remotion-upgrade --yes

Review the manifest and lockfile diff. Ensure all Remotion packages use one version and installed auxiliary packages use their recommended versions. If the CLI is available, run npx remotion versions as an additional check.

The Remotion releases contain the changelog and may be useful for summarizing relevant changes after the upgrade.
