About add-expert

add-expert is a small, focused developer workflow skill for the Remotion repository. It solves the narrow, repetitive task of adding a new freelancer/expert to the Remotion experts page correctly and consistently, so contributors do not have to rediscover the required files and steps each time.

The skill documents a three-step procedure: add the expert's square PNG headshot to two static image paths (in the docs and promo-pages packages), append a typed entry to the experts array in a TSX data file (with fields for slug, name, image, optional website/X/GitHub/LinkedIn/email/videocall links, a since timestamp, and a JSX description), and render the expert card by running the project's bun render-cards command, verifying the generated PNG reports as newly rendered rather than pre-existing. It specifies conventions such as lowercase hyphenated slugs, setting today's date for the since field, nulling unused social fields, and placing the entry at the end of the array.

It targets Remotion maintainers and contributors making this specific site update. It is a thin, repo-specific catalogue entry — essentially the exact file paths, a code template, and one build command — rather than a general-purpose tool.

FAQ

What does this skill do?

It walks a contributor through adding a new expert to the Remotion experts page: placing a headshot image, adding a typed entry to the experts-data TSX array, and rendering the expert card image.

What are the prerequisites?

A checkout of the Remotion monorepo and the bun toolchain, since the final card-rendering step runs 'bun render-cards' inside packages/docs.

What conventions must the entry follow?

The slug must be a lowercase hyphenated version of the name, the since field set to today's date as a timestamp, unused social fields set to null, and the entry placed at the end of the experts array before the closing bracket.

How do I confirm the card rendered?

After running bun render-cards, verify the output reports 'Rendered experts-<slug>' rather than 'Existed', which indicates the generated PNG was newly created.
