What problem does it solve? Setting up a fresh machine or new clone for code-based video production involves installing Node.js, npm dependencies, and FFmpeg, and failures like half-finished installs or missing tools are hard to diagnose. This Skill automates the entire setup and verification process so the Remotion preview and rendering pipeline work on the first try. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided Installation: Installs Node.js 16+, project dependencies via npm install, and a full system FFmpeg, explaining each step in plain language before running it. - Robust Verification: Detects broken or half-finished installs by checking for real package files rather than directory existence, and distinguishes the bundled Remotion FFmpeg from a full system install. - Permission-Aware Execution: Ships a permissions model defining which commands run silently, which ask, and which are refused, reducing approval fatigue without removing oversight. - Use Case: A new contributor clones the repository and says "Nothing runs." The assistant checks Node, installs dependencies, verifies FFmpeg filters, opens the browser preview, and hands off to the video-building workflow. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to set up this project on my machine and verify that Node, dependencies, and FFmpeg are working.
