Use this skills whenever you are dealing with Remotion code to obtain the domain-specific knowledge.
When dealing with captions or subtitles, load the ./rules/subtitles.md file for more information.
For some video operations, such as trimming videos or detecting silence, FFmpeg should be used. Load the ./rules/ffmpeg.md file for more information.
When needing to visualize audio (spectrum bars, waveforms, bass-reactive effects), load the ./rules/audio-visualization.md file for more information.
When needing to use sound effects, load the ./rules/sound-effects.md file for more information.

development
Guides a founder through the full Y Combinator batch application end-to-end. A 10-phase workflow that captures the live YC form, profiles the founders, stress-tests the idea via an embedded grill loop, runs a mandatory 5-agent parallel external research pass on the startup, drafts every form field with anti-pattern and accepted-example checks, produces founder-video bullet notes (no script), runs a final adversarial gate, generates paste-ready submission answers, unlocks an interview-prep simulator after invite, and supports reapplicant delta tracking and post-decision post-mortems. Writes a documented markdown trail under a user-chosen workspace. Use when a founder wants to prepare a YC batch application, build their founder video, drill mock YC interview questions, or reapply with delta evidence. Don't use for pitch-deck design unrelated to YC, generic startup advice without applying, or post-funding work.
development
Authors engineering blog posts end-to-end: launch deep-dives, incident postmortems, architecture migrations, performance case studies, tutorials, AI/agent system writeups, security disclosures, and research-to-product translations. Picks the correct archetype, plans the abstraction ladder, enforces an evidence cadence (diagrams, benchmarks, profiles, traces, code, ablations), tunes voice against publisher house styles (Datadog, Vercel, GitHub, AWS, Meta, Cloudflare, Jane Street), and runs a pre-publish gate for narrative momentum and disclosure ethics. Use when drafting a new engineering post, restructuring a draft that feels flat, deciding which evidence form belongs where, validating that depth and product context are balanced, or preparing a postmortem, migration, or performance narrative for external publication. Do not use for API reference documentation, README authoring, marketing copy, release notes, generic SEO content, ghost-written executive thought leadership, or non-engineering long-form essays.
tools
Provides guardrails for user-facing UI work: usability heuristics, accessibility floors, design-system discipline, component states, microcopy, motion, dark mode, responsive behavior, and human-AI UX. Use when designing, generating, reviewing, or refactoring visible product surfaces such as components, pages, dashboards, forms, dialogs, loading/empty/error states, or AI interfaces. Do not use for backend-only work, infrastructure, CLI/TUI design, or pure documentation editing.
tools
Master TypeScript's advanced type system including generics, conditional types, mapped types, template literals, and utility types for building type-safe applications. Use when implementing complex type logic, creating reusable type utilities, or ensuring compile-time type safety in TypeScript projects. Don't use for plain JavaScript, runtime validation libraries (Zod, Yup), or basic TypeScript syntax questions.
