Agentic Coding

Remotion maintains a library of Agent Skills designed as best practices for working with AI agents like Claude Code and Cursor on Remotion video projects. These skills cover specialized workflows including markup and animations, map creation, captions, SaaS architecture, studio interactivity, documentation lookup, and multimedia handling. Developers can install skills via npx or when creating new projects, with a comprehensive /remotion-best-practices skill available as an entry point for agents unfamiliar with specific skill categories.

This repository provides a curated collection of open-source agent skills for Swift and Apple platform development, designed to work with Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI coding tools. It includes organized categories of skills across SwiftUI, SwiftData, Swift Concurrency, Swift Testing, and many other frameworks, plus AGENTS.md files from experts like Paul Hudson. The repository emphasizes that skills should be human-written (not AI-generated) to provide agents with knowledge they don't already possess, and contributors must ensure proper licensing and originality.

Experienced AI developers prioritize environment setup over prompt engineering. Key practices include creating an agents.md file with permanent instructions (documentation locations, MCP servers, coding conventions, validation steps) to teach the AI once rather than repeatedly, separating permanent knowledge from specialized reusable skills, and emphasizing validation as equally important as code generation. Rather than asking AI to code immediately, use Plan Mode to explore the codebase and create implementation plans first. Breaking large tasks into smaller ones with specialized subagents reduces context usage and improves outcomes. The real productivity gains come from designing the right environment—providing documentation access, MCP server integration, coding conventions, reusable skills, and self-validation capabilities—making prompts themselves surprisingly simple once the ecosystem is properly configured.
