Promote AgentCompany-New to the repository root and retire the old app

The legacy application - its src, tests, landing site, promo assets, docs,
release tooling, CI workflows, and root configs - leaves the tree; it stays
reachable in history. Everything under AgentCompany-New moves up unchanged:
same package name, so the production userData/database path is untouched,
and e2e/build scripts already resolved paths relative to the project. The
developer cred.txt stays gitignored at its new location. Full verify:ci
passes from the new root.

# Contributing
This file documents the rules that are load-bearing for day-to-day work
in this repo. If you are using an AI agent, it must follow this file
too.
## Database access
All database calls go through domain modules:
```ts
db.tasks.saveTask(...)
db.agents.getAgent(...)
db.documentsMod.saveDocument(...)
```
**Adding a new pass-through on `AppDatabase` is not allowed.** The
pass-through layer existed historically, was removed in C1 (commits
`e352a69` → C1 part 2/3 → `ee1734e`), and is now guarded by an ESLint
rule that blocks regressions. Route every new call directly through
the owning sub-module.
If the ESLint rule fires on your change:
1. Read the sub-module list in `src/main/database/` to find the right
owner for your method.
2. Either add the method to that sub-module (if it is new), or change
the call site to use `db.<module>.<method>(...)` (if the method
already exists there).
3. Do not silence the rule with an inline disable. If you think the
rule is wrong for your case, open an issue — the rule has caught
real regressions.
## C1 codemod
If a large surface of call sites ever needs to flip shape again (e.g.
a sub-module gets renamed, or a method moves between sub-modules), use
the codemod at `scripts/codemod/remove-appdatabase-passthrough.mjs` as
a starting point.
Usage:
```bash
# Dry run first:
node scripts/codemod/remove-appdatabase-passthrough.mjs --dry-run
# Then apply:
node scripts/codemod/remove-appdatabase-passthrough.mjs
# Scope to specific modules:
node scripts/codemod/remove-appdatabase-passthrough.mjs --modules=tasks,agents
```
The script's `METHOD_TO_MODULE` map and completeness evidence are
documented in `scripts/codemod/README.md`. The codemod stays in the
repo for future similar migrations; removing it would mean the next
person has to re-derive it from scratch.
## Reverting C1
C1 landed as three commits, and `ee1734e` bundled the final pass-through
removal with a vault-binding simplification. This means a clean revert
must be **sequential**, not independent:
```
git revert ee1734e # revert 3/3 first (re-adds pass-throughs + vault back)
git revert <C1 part 2/3 sha>
git revert e352a69 # revert 1/3 last
```
Reverting out of order (e.g. only `e352a69`) leaves the ESLint guard
still active and the build will fail on the re-introduced pass-throughs.
If you only want to undo the vault changes without re-introducing
pass-throughs, do a hunk-scoped revert:
```
git revert -n ee1734e
git checkout --patch HEAD -- <vault-files>
git commit
```
## File-size ceiling
Files in `src/main/**` should stay under 500 LOC where practical. Two
files currently exceed the ceiling and carry TODO markers with a hard
review date (`M-followup by 2026-05-20`):
- `src/main/agent-runtime/artifact-projector.ts` (637 LOC)
- `src/main/agent-runtime/runtime-bridge.ts` (648 LOC)
If `2026-05-20` passes and these have not been decomposed, a follow-up
session MUST revisit them — either decompose, or justify the exception
in writing and update the TODO date.
## Error taxonomy (C6)
The error taxonomy migration is waved in `docs/proposals/C6.2-error-taxonomy-phase2.md`.
Each wave has a hard cap of 30 catch sites — C6 does not expand into an
unbounded sweep. If your change touches a catch block in `src/main/`
that has no `classifyUnknownError` call, add one using the existing
module pattern; do not leave bare `} catch {}` in new code.
## Before opening a PR
- `pnpm typecheck` clean
- `pnpm test:unit` green
- `pnpm lint` clean (this is where the pass-through guard lives)
- Keep the diff scoped — do not roll unrelated fixes into a single PR
If you use an agent, confirm it has read this file and `AGENTS.md`
before letting it commit.

## What it does
Type a company name and a goal. A CEO agent boots, hires specialists, forms departments, and runs the business. You approve or steer from the desktop.
Local, SQLite-backed, no external services. Inspired by [Paperclip](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip).
---
## 26 providers, no CLI
The runtime links [pi-mono](https://github.com/mariozechner/pi) directly.
**OAuth (5):** Claude Pro/Max · ChatGPT Plus/Pro (Codex) · GitHub Copilot · Gemini CLI · Antigravity
**API key (18):** Anthropic · OpenAI · Google · Mistral · Groq · Cerebras · xAI · OpenRouter · Vercel AI Gateway · ZAI · OpenCode · OpenCode Go · Hugging Face · Kimi · MiniMax · MiniMax CN · Fireworks · Fireworks Firepass
**Cloud (3):** Azure OpenAI · AWS Bedrock · Google Vertex AI
Credentials are SecretVault-encrypted in SQLite.
---
## Two execution modes
- **AI CEO** — autonomous. Hiring, tasks, deliverables run without you.
- **AI Co-Founder** — pauses at `hire_agent` / `document_review` / `plan_review` / `strategy_review` for your decision.
Switch at Settings → Execution mode.
---
## Features
### Self-organizing teams

### Agent messaging
Threads and DMs between agents. Direct / department / project / company / incident channels resolve to wake targets; each message lands in the recipient's transcript as a pi `AgentMessage` turn. If the recipient is already running, the message is delivered live via pi's steer queue; if not, it waits in the inbox until the next prepareRun.

<img src="docs/screenshots/AI-Internal-Realtime-Message.jpeg" width="700" alt="Agent messaging" />
</p>
### Tasks
Goals break into tasks. Agents pick them up, report progress, escalate blockers.
<p align="center">
<img src="docs/screenshots/Auto-Task.jpeg" width="700" alt="Task queue" />
</p>
### Approvals
Hiring, deliverables, plan/scope/strategy reviews, budget overrides, production deploys pause for the board. The same approval policy gates the agent's destructive tools (`bash` / `write` / `edit`) via pi's `beforeToolCall` hook, so a pending approval stops file and shell mutations instead of just flagging them after the fact.

</p>
### Documents
Plans, strategies, and specs in a shared center, linked to the tasks that produced them.

## Quick Start
[Download the latest release](https://github.com/ZacharyZhang-NY/AgentCompany/releases) — macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel), Windows, Linux.
### Build from source
```sh
# Node.js 22+, pnpm 10+
pnpm install
pnpm dev
```
### First run
1. Requirements. Welcome screen, then a Node.js check. CLI runtimes call the local API through `node -e`.
2. Providers. Connect at least one runtime.
3. Company. Enter name, description, and workspace.
4. Team Models. Enable the models available to the CEO and workers.
5. Mode. Default is `ai_ceo`; `ai_cofounder` keeps key decisions human-reviewed.
6. Mission. Capture the first goal and acceptance description.
7. Launch. AgentCompany creates the company, CEO agent, workspace, kickoff task, and initial run handoff.
---
## Verification
```sh
pnpm typecheck
pnpm lint
pnpm test:unit
pnpm test:integration
pnpm test:e2e
pnpm build:verify
```
## Packaging
```sh
pnpm build # Package for current platform → /build/release
pnpm build:dir # Unpackaged directory
pnpm build:current # Current host platform
pnpm release:local # Signed release pipeline — see docs/release/local-r2.md
```
Targets: macOS `.dmg`, Windows `.exe` (NSIS), Linux `.AppImage`. Built with `electron-builder`. Local builds use ad-hoc signing (`CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY=false`). Defaults to `--publish never`.
---
## Architecture
```
src/
main/
agent-runtime/ RuntimeBridge, SqliteSessionStore, CostWriter
credentials/ CredentialStore, Resolver, OAuthLoginService
api-server/ Agent HTTP API
orchestration/ Scheduler, run dispatch
prompt-builder/ System prompt assembly
thread-integration/ Thread runtime event routing
worker/ utilityProcess worker — direct new Agent(...)
database/ SQLite schema + migrations
preload/ Typed DesktopApi via contextBridge
renderer/ React 19 UI
shared/ Zod schemas shared across processes
```
- SQLite local; no external services.
- `contextIsolation: true`, `nodeIntegration: false`, Zod-validated IPC.
- Worker constructs `new Agent({...})` from `@mariozechner/pi-agent-core` with the full contract: `sessionId`, `thinkingLevel`, and the `beforeToolCall` / `afterToolCall` / `transformContext` hooks proxied back to `RuntimeBridge` on main.
- Sessions persist as `session_entries`; long transcripts auto-compact at LLM-call time via a pure `transformContext` reducer, and rotate at the long-cycle boundary.
- `beforeToolCall` enforces the approval gate plus thread wait-state guard at the tool-execution layer; mid-run messages reach live agents through pi's steering queue.
- Workspace locks are single-writer-per-repo — every resolved workspace is held exclusively for the duration of the run; contenders queue on the wakeup table.
- Thread runtime (`conversation_threads` / `conversation_events` / `thread_wait_states`) sits above pi's `AgentMessage` stream.
- Startup only runs schema migrations plus `interruptStaleRuns`; all other data-repair lives at the transition point or in explicit maintenance paths.

## Top-level directories
| Path | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `src/` | TypeScript source for main / preload / renderer / shared. |
| `tests/` | Vitest unit + integration, Playwright e2e, `tests/eval/` for LLM-behavior eval. |
| `assets/` | App icons, tray icons, and macOS entitlements. Referenced by `electron-builder.yml` and `src/main/index.ts` — must stay at repo root. |
| `builtin-skills/` | Agent skill bundles shipped with the app. Loaded at runtime from `process.cwd()` or `process.resourcesPath` (see `src/main/skills/runtime.ts`) and packaged by `electron-builder.yml`. Must stay at repo root. |
| `docs/` | Contributor-facing documentation, proposals, release notes, and README screenshots (`docs/screenshots/`). |
| `scripts/` | Build, release, and packaging Node scripts. |
| `landing/` | Marketing site (Next.js). Has its own `landing/public/screenshots/`, separate from `docs/screenshots/`. |
| `AgentCompany-Rust/` | Exploratory Rust port; see section below. |
Agent runtime source of truth is the pinned `@mariozechner/*` npm dependency set in root `package.json` and `pnpm-lock.yaml`. Third-party reference snapshots live outside this repository.
---
## AgentCompany-Rust
The `AgentCompany-Rust/` directory is an exploratory parallel implementation of the runtime in Rust (GPUI-based desktop shell, SQLite storage, pi bridge). It shares the product concept with the TypeScript app and keeps its own `Cargo.toml` workspace, PRD, and progress notes under `AgentCompany-Rust/`.
Current status:
- TypeScript Electron app is the shipping product and the only target of the release pipeline (`pnpm build`, `pnpm release:*`).
- Rust workspace is experimental, not wired into CI, not packaged, not distributed.
- Schemas and runtime contracts are maintained independently; no cross-language codegen yet.
Detailed design lives in `AgentCompany-Rust/PRD.md`. Positioning beyond "exploratory parallel implementation" is left to the Rust owner to document.
---
## Scripts
`package.json` scripts follow a `<group>:<subgroup>` convention. Common entry points:
| Script | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `pnpm dev` | Run the Electron app in dev mode (electron-vite). |
| `pnpm typecheck` | `tsc --noEmit` using the root `tsconfig.json`. |
| `pnpm lint` / `pnpm lint:fix` | ESLint across the repo; `:fix` auto-fixes. |
| `pnpm test` | Vitest unit + integration in one pass. |
| `pnpm test:unit` / `pnpm test:integration` / `pnpm test:e2e` | Individual test tiers. |
| `pnpm test:run` | Sequential unit → integration → e2e. |
| `pnpm build:verify` | `electron-vite build` only — no packaging. |
| `pnpm build` / `pnpm build:dir` / `pnpm build:current` | Full packaged build / unpackaged dir / current host platform. |
| `pnpm release:local` | Signed release pipeline — see `docs/release/local-r2.md`. |
| `pnpm release:cloudflare` / `pnpm release:boss` | Distribution pipelines. |
| `pnpm verify` | `typecheck && lint && test:unit && test:integration && test:e2e`. |
| `pnpm verify:release` | `verify && build:dir` — the full gate before a release. |
Rules for adding scripts:
- Use `group:subgroup` (`test:unit`, `build:dir`, `release:local`); avoid flat verbs like `checktypes`.
- `group` alone should do the useful-by-default thing for that group.
- `verify` is the CI-side aggregate; keep it in sync when adding a new tier.

# Using Three.js and React Three Fiber in Remotion
Follow React Three Fiber and Three.js best practices.
Only the following Remotion-specific rules need to be followed:
## Prerequisites
First, the `@remotion/three` package needs to be installed.
If it is not, use the following command:
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/three # If project uses npm
bunx remotion add @remotion/three # If project uses bun
yarn remotion add @remotion/three # If project uses yarn
pnpm exec remotion add @remotion/three # If project uses pnpm
```
## Using ThreeCanvas
You MUST wrap 3D content in `<ThreeCanvas>` and include proper lighting.
`<ThreeCanvas>` MUST have a `width` and `height` prop.
```tsx
import { ThreeCanvas } from "@remotion/three";
import { useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
const { width, height } = useVideoConfig();
<ThreeCanvas width={width} height={height}>
<ambientLight intensity={0.4} />
<directionalLight position={[5, 5, 5]} intensity={0.8} />
<mesh>
<sphereGeometry args={[1, 32, 32]} />
<meshStandardMaterial color="red" />
</mesh>
</ThreeCanvas>;
```
## No animations not driven by `useCurrentFrame()`
Shaders, models etc MUST NOT animate by themselves.
No animations are allowed unless they are driven by `useCurrentFrame()`.
Otherwise, it will cause flickering during rendering.
Using `useFrame()` from `@react-three/fiber` is forbidden.
## Animate using `useCurrentFrame()`
Use `useCurrentFrame()` to perform animations.
```tsx
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const rotationY = frame * 0.02;
<mesh rotation={[0, rotationY, 0]}>
<boxGeometry args={[2, 2, 2]} />
<meshStandardMaterial color="#4a9eff" />
</mesh>;
```
## Using `<Sequence>` inside `<ThreeCanvas>`
The `layout` prop of any `<Sequence>` inside a `<ThreeCanvas>` must be set to `none`.
```tsx
import { Sequence } from "remotion";
import { ThreeCanvas } from "@remotion/three";
const { width, height } = useVideoConfig();
<ThreeCanvas width={width} height={height}>
<Sequence layout="none">
<mesh>
<boxGeometry args={[2, 2, 2]} />
<meshStandardMaterial color="#4a9eff" />
</mesh>
</Sequence>
</ThreeCanvas>;
```

name: animations
description: Fundamental animation skills for Remotion
metadata:
tags: animations, transitions, frames, useCurrentFrame
---
All animations MUST be driven by the `useCurrentFrame()` hook.
Write animations in seconds and multiply them by the `fps` value from `useVideoConfig()`.
```tsx
import { useCurrentFrame } from "remotion";
export const FadeIn = () => {
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
const opacity = interpolate(frame, [0, 2 * fps], [0, 1], {
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
});
return <div style={{ opacity }}>Hello World!</div>;
};
```
CSS transitions or animations are FORBIDDEN - they will not render correctly.
Tailwind animation class names are FORBIDDEN - they will not render correctly.

# Importing assets in Remotion
## The public folder
Place assets in the `public/` folder at your project root.
## Using staticFile()
You MUST use `staticFile()` to reference files from the `public/` folder:
```tsx
import { Img, staticFile } from "remotion";
export const MyComposition = () => {
return <Img src={staticFile("logo.png")} />;
};
```
The function returns an encoded URL that works correctly when deploying to subdirectories.
## Using with components
**Images:**
```tsx
import { Img, staticFile } from "remotion";
<Img src={staticFile("photo.png")} />;
```
**Videos:**
```tsx
import { Video } from "@remotion/media";
import { staticFile } from "remotion";
<Video src={staticFile("clip.mp4")} />;
```
**Audio:**
```tsx
import { Audio } from "@remotion/media";
import { staticFile } from "remotion";
<Audio src={staticFile("music.mp3")} />;
```
**Fonts:**
```tsx
import { staticFile } from "remotion";
const fontFamily = new FontFace("MyFont", `url(${staticFile("font.woff2")})`);
await fontFamily.load();
document.fonts.add(fontFamily);
```
## Remote URLs
Remote URLs can be used directly without `staticFile()`:
```tsx
<Img src="https://example.com/image.png" />
<Video src="https://remotion.media/video.mp4" />
```
## Important notes
- Remotion components (`<Img>`, `<Video>`, `<Audio>`) ensure assets are fully loaded before rendering
- Special characters in filenames (`#`, `?`, `&`) are automatically encoded

# Audio Visualization in Remotion
## Prerequisites
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/media-utils
```
## Loading Audio Data
Use `useWindowedAudioData()` (https://www.remotion.dev/docs/use-windowed-audio-data) to load audio data:
```tsx
import { useWindowedAudioData } from "@remotion/media-utils";
import { staticFile, useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
const { audioData, dataOffsetInSeconds } = useWindowedAudioData({
src: staticFile("podcast.wav"),
frame,
fps,
windowInSeconds: 30,
});
```
## Spectrum Bar Visualization
Use `visualizeAudio()` (https://www.remotion.dev/docs/visualize-audio) to get frequency data for bar charts:
```tsx
import { useWindowedAudioData, visualizeAudio } from "@remotion/media-utils";
import { staticFile, useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
const { audioData, dataOffsetInSeconds } = useWindowedAudioData({
src: staticFile("music.mp3"),
frame,
fps,
windowInSeconds: 30,
});
if (!audioData) {
return null;
}
const frequencies = visualizeAudio({
fps,
frame,
audioData,
numberOfSamples: 256,
optimizeFor: "speed",
dataOffsetInSeconds,
});
return (
<div style={{ display: "flex", alignItems: "flex-end", height: 200 }}>
{frequencies.map((v, i) => (
<div
key={i}
style={{
flex: 1,
height: `${v * 100}%`,
backgroundColor: "#0b84f3",
margin: "0 1px",
}}
/>
))}
</div>
);
```
- `numberOfSamples` must be power of 2 (32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024)
- Values range 0-1; left of array = bass, right = highs
- Use `optimizeFor: "speed"` for Lambda or high sample counts
**Important:** When passing `audioData` to child components, also pass the `frame` from the parent. Do not call `useCurrentFrame()` in each child - this causes discontinuous visualization when children are inside `<Sequence>` with offsets.
## Waveform Visualization
Use `visualizeAudioWaveform()` (https://www.remotion.dev/docs/media-utils/visualize-audio-waveform) with `createSmoothSvgPath()` (https://www.remotion.dev/docs/media-utils/create-smooth-svg-path) for oscilloscope-style displays:
```tsx
import {
createSmoothSvgPath,
useWindowedAudioData,
visualizeAudioWaveform,
} from "@remotion/media-utils";
import { staticFile, useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { width, fps } = useVideoConfig();
const HEIGHT = 200;
const { audioData, dataOffsetInSeconds } = useWindowedAudioData({
src: staticFile("voice.wav"),
frame,
fps,
windowInSeconds: 30,
});
if (!audioData) {
return null;
}
const waveform = visualizeAudioWaveform({
fps,
frame,
audioData,
numberOfSamples: 256,
windowInSeconds: 0.5,
dataOffsetInSeconds,
});
const path = createSmoothSvgPath({
points: waveform.map((y, i) => ({
x: (i / (waveform.length - 1)) * width,
y: HEIGHT / 2 + (y * HEIGHT) / 2,
})),
});
return (
<svg width={width} height={HEIGHT}>
<path d={path} fill="none" stroke="#0b84f3" strokeWidth={2} />
</svg>
);
```
## Bass-Reactive Effects
Extract low frequencies for beat-reactive animations:
```tsx
const frequencies = visualizeAudio({
fps,
frame,
audioData,
numberOfSamples: 128,
optimizeFor: "speed",
dataOffsetInSeconds,
});
const lowFrequencies = frequencies.slice(0, 32);
const bassIntensity =
lowFrequencies.reduce((sum, v) => sum + v, 0) / lowFrequencies.length;
const scale = 1 + bassIntensity * 0.5;
const opacity = Math.min(0.6, bassIntensity * 0.8);
```
## Volume-Based Waveform
Use `getWaveformPortion()` (https://www.remotion.dev/docs/get-waveform-portion) when you need simplified volume data instead of frequency spectrum:
```tsx
import { getWaveformPortion } from "@remotion/media-utils";
import { useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
const currentTimeInSeconds = frame / fps;
const waveform = getWaveformPortion({
audioData,
startTimeInSeconds: currentTimeInSeconds,
durationInSeconds: 5,
numberOfSamples: 50,
});
// Returns array of { index, amplitude } objects (amplitude: 0-1)
waveform.map((bar) => (
<div key={bar.index} style={{ height: bar.amplitude * 100 }} />
));
```
## Postprocessing
Low frequencies naturally dominate. Apply logarithmic scaling for visual balance:
```tsx
const minDb = -100;
const maxDb = -30;
const scaled = frequencies.map((value) => {
const db = 20 * Math.log10(value);
return (db - minDb) / (maxDb - minDb);
});
```

name: audio
description: Using audio and sound in Remotion - importing, trimming, volume, speed, pitch
metadata:
tags: audio, media, trim, volume, speed, loop, pitch, mute, sound, sfx
---
# Using audio in Remotion
## Prerequisites
First, the @remotion/media package needs to be installed.
If it is not installed, use the following command:
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/media
```
## Importing Audio
Use `<Audio>` from `@remotion/media` to add audio to your composition.
```tsx
import { Audio } from "@remotion/media";
import { staticFile } from "remotion";
export const MyComposition = () => {
return <Audio src={staticFile("audio.mp3")} />;
};
```
Remote URLs are also supported:
```tsx
<Audio src="https://remotion.media/audio.mp3" />
```
By default, audio plays from the start, at full volume and full length.
Multiple audio tracks can be layered by adding multiple `<Audio>` components.
## Trimming
Use `trimBefore` and `trimAfter` to remove portions of the audio. Values are in frames.
```tsx
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
return (
<Audio
src={staticFile("audio.mp3")}
trimBefore={2 * fps} // Skip the first 2 seconds
trimAfter={10 * fps} // End at the 10 second mark
/>
);
```
The audio still starts playing at the beginning of the composition - only the specified portion is played.
## Delaying
Wrap the audio in a `<Sequence>` to delay when it starts:
```tsx
import { Sequence, staticFile } from "remotion";
import { Audio } from "@remotion/media";
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
return (
<Sequence from={1 * fps}>
<Audio src={staticFile("audio.mp3")} />
</Sequence>
);
```
The audio will start playing after 1 second.
## Volume
Set a static volume (0 to 1):
```tsx
<Audio src={staticFile("audio.mp3")} volume={0.5} />
```
Or use a callback for dynamic volume based on the current frame:
```tsx
import { interpolate } from "remotion";
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
return (
<Audio
src={staticFile("audio.mp3")}
volume={(f) =>
interpolate(f, [0, 1 * fps], [0, 1], { extrapolateRight: "clamp" })
}
/>
);
```
The value of `f` starts at 0 when the audio begins to play, not the composition frame.
## Muting
Use `muted` to silence the audio. It can be set dynamically:
```tsx
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
return (
<Audio
src={staticFile("audio.mp3")}
muted={frame >= 2 * fps && frame <= 4 * fps} // Mute between 2s and 4s
/>
);
```
## Speed
Use `playbackRate` to change the playback speed:
```tsx
<Audio src={staticFile("audio.mp3")} playbackRate={2} /> {/* 2x speed */}
<Audio src={staticFile("audio.mp3")} playbackRate={0.5} /> {/* Half speed */}
```
Reverse playback is not supported.
## Looping
Use `loop` to loop the audio indefinitely:
```tsx
<Audio src={staticFile("audio.mp3")} loop />
```
Use `loopVolumeCurveBehavior` to control how the frame count behaves when looping:
- `"repeat"`: Frame count resets to 0 each loop (default)
- `"extend"`: Frame count continues incrementing
```tsx
<Audio
src={staticFile("audio.mp3")}
loop
loopVolumeCurveBehavior="extend"
volume={(f) => interpolate(f, [0, 300], [1, 0])} // Fade out over multiple loops
/>
```
## Pitch
Use `toneFrequency` to adjust the pitch without affecting speed. Values range from 0.01 to 2:
```tsx
<Audio
src={staticFile("audio.mp3")}
toneFrequency={1.5} // Higher pitch
/>
<Audio
src={staticFile("audio.mp3")}
toneFrequency={0.8} // Lower pitch
/>
```
Pitch shifting only works during server-side rendering, not in the Remotion Studio preview or in the `<Player />`.

description: Dynamically set composition duration, dimensions, and props
metadata:
tags: calculateMetadata, duration, dimensions, props, dynamic
---
# Using calculateMetadata
Use `calculateMetadata` on a `<Composition>` to dynamically set duration, dimensions, and transform props before rendering.
```tsx
<Composition
id="MyComp"
component={MyComponent}
durationInFrames={300}
fps={30}
width={1920}
height={1080}
defaultProps={{ videoSrc: "https://remotion.media/video.mp4" }}
calculateMetadata={calculateMetadata}
/>
```
## Setting duration based on a video
Use the [`getVideoDuration`](./get-video-duration.md) and [`getVideoDimensions`](./get-video-dimensions.md) skills to get the video duration and dimensions:
```tsx
import { CalculateMetadataFunction } from "remotion";
import { getVideoDuration } from "./get-video-duration";
const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction<Props> = async ({
props,
}) => {
const durationInSeconds = await getVideoDuration(props.videoSrc);
return {
durationInFrames: Math.ceil(durationInSeconds * 30),
};
};
```
## Matching dimensions of a video
Use the [`getVideoDimensions`](./get-video-dimensions.md) skill to get the video dimensions:
```tsx
import { CalculateMetadataFunction } from "remotion";
import { getVideoDuration } from "./get-video-duration";
import { getVideoDimensions } from "./get-video-dimensions";
const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction<Props> = async ({
props,
}) => {
const dimensions = await getVideoDimensions(props.videoSrc);
return {
width: dimensions.width,
height: dimensions.height,
};
};
```
## Setting duration based on multiple videos
```tsx
const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction<Props> = async ({
props,
}) => {
const metadataPromises = props.videos.map((video) =>
getVideoDuration(video.src),
);
const allMetadata = await Promise.all(metadataPromises);
const totalDuration = allMetadata.reduce(
(sum, durationInSeconds) => sum + durationInSeconds,
0,
);
return {
durationInFrames: Math.ceil(totalDuration * 30),
};
};
```
## Setting a default outName
Set the default output filename based on props:
```tsx
const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction<Props> = async ({
props,
}) => {
return {
defaultOutName: `video-${props.id}.mp4`,
};
};
```
## Transforming props
Fetch data or transform props before rendering:
```tsx
const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction<Props> = async ({
props,
abortSignal,
}) => {
const response = await fetch(props.dataUrl, { signal: abortSignal });
const data = await response.json();
return {
props: {
...props,
fetchedData: data,
},
};
};
```
The `abortSignal` cancels stale requests when props change in the Studio.
## Return value
All fields are optional. Returned values override the `<Composition>` props:
- `durationInFrames`: Number of frames
- `width`: Composition width in pixels
- `height`: Composition height in pixels
- `fps`: Frames per second
- `props`: Transformed props passed to the component
- `defaultOutName`: Default output filename
- `defaultCodec`: Default codec for rendering

# Checking if a video can be decoded
Use Mediabunny to check if a video can be decoded by the browser before attempting to play it.
First, install the right version of Mediabunny:
```bash
npx remotion add mediabunny
```
## The `canDecode()` function
This function can be copy-pasted into any project.
```tsx
import { Input, ALL_FORMATS, UrlSource } from "mediabunny";
export const canDecode = async (src: string) => {
const input = new Input({
formats: ALL_FORMATS,
source: new UrlSource(src, {
getRetryDelay: () => null,
}),
});
try {
await input.getFormat();
} catch {
return false;
}
const videoTrack = await input.getPrimaryVideoTrack();
if (videoTrack && !(await videoTrack.canDecode())) {
return false;
}
const audioTrack = await input.getPrimaryAudioTrack();
if (audioTrack && !(await audioTrack.canDecode())) {
return false;
}
return true;
};
```
## Usage
```tsx
const src = "https://remotion.media/video.mp4";
const isDecodable = await canDecode(src);
if (isDecodable) {
console.log("Video can be decoded");
} else {
console.log("Video cannot be decoded by this browser");
}
```
## Using with Blob
For file uploads or drag-and-drop, use `BlobSource`:
```tsx
import { Input, ALL_FORMATS, BlobSource } from "mediabunny";
export const canDecodeBlob = async (blob: Blob) => {
const input = new Input({
formats: ALL_FORMATS,
source: new BlobSource(blob),
});
// Same validation logic as above
};

metadata:
tags: charts, data, visualization, bar-chart, pie-chart, line-chart, stock-chart, svg-paths, graphs
---
# Charts in Remotion
Create charts using React code - HTML, SVG, and D3.js are all supported.
Disable all animations from third party libraries - they cause flickering.
Drive all animations from `useCurrentFrame()`.
## Bar Chart
```tsx
const STAGGER_DELAY = 5;
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
const bars = data.map((item, i) => {
const height = spring({
frame,
fps,
delay: i * STAGGER_DELAY,
config: { damping: 200 },
});
return <div style={{ height: height * item.value }} />;
});
```
## Pie Chart
Animate segments using stroke-dashoffset, starting from 12 o'clock:
```tsx
const progress = interpolate(frame, [0, 100], [0, 1]);
const circumference = 2 * Math.PI * radius;
const segmentLength = (value / total) * circumference;
const offset = interpolate(progress, [0, 1], [segmentLength, 0]);
<circle
r={radius}
cx={center}
cy={center}
fill="none"
stroke={color}
strokeWidth={strokeWidth}
strokeDasharray={`${segmentLength} ${circumference}`}
strokeDashoffset={offset}
transform={`rotate(-90 ${center} ${center})`}
/>;
```
## Line Chart / Path Animation
Use `@remotion/paths` for animating SVG paths (line charts, stock graphs, signatures).
Install: `npx remotion add @remotion/paths`
Docs: https://remotion.dev/docs/paths.md
### Convert data points to SVG path
```tsx
type Point = { x: number; y: number };
const generateLinePath = (points: Point[]): string => {
if (points.length < 2) return "";
return points.map((p, i) => `${i === 0 ? "M" : "L"} ${p.x} ${p.y}`).join(" ");
};
```
### Draw path with animation
```tsx
import { evolvePath } from "@remotion/paths";
const path = "M 100 200 L 200 150 L 300 180 L 400 100";
const progress = interpolate(frame, [0, 2 * fps], [0, 1], {
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
easing: Easing.out(Easing.quad),
});
const { strokeDasharray, strokeDashoffset } = evolvePath(progress, path);
<path
d={path}
fill="none"
stroke="#FF3232"
strokeWidth={4}
strokeDasharray={strokeDasharray}
strokeDashoffset={strokeDashoffset}
/>;
```
### Follow path with marker/arrow
```tsx
import {
getLength,
getPointAtLength,
getTangentAtLength,
} from "@remotion/paths";
const pathLength = getLength(path);
const point = getPointAtLength(path, progress * pathLength);
const tangent = getTangentAtLength(path, progress * pathLength);
const angle = Math.atan2(tangent.y, tangent.x);
<g
style={{
transform: `translate(${point.x}px, ${point.y}px) rotate(${angle}rad)`,

description: Defining compositions, stills, folders, default props and dynamic metadata
metadata:
tags: composition, still, folder, props, metadata
---
A `<Composition>` defines the component, width, height, fps and duration of a renderable video.
It normally is placed in the `src/Root.tsx` file.
```tsx
import { Composition } from "remotion";
import { MyComposition } from "./MyComposition";
export const RemotionRoot = () => {
return (
<Composition
id="MyComposition"
component={MyComposition}
durationInFrames={100}
fps={30}
width={1080}
height={1080}
/>
);
};
```
## Default Props
Pass `defaultProps` to provide initial values for your component.
Values must be JSON-serializable (`Date`, `Map`, `Set`, and `staticFile()` are supported).
```tsx
import { Composition } from "remotion";
import { MyComposition, MyCompositionProps } from "./MyComposition";
export const RemotionRoot = () => {
return (
<Composition
id="MyComposition"
component={MyComposition}
durationInFrames={100}
fps={30}
width={1080}
height={1080}
defaultProps={
{
title: "Hello World",
color: "#ff0000",
} satisfies MyCompositionProps
}
/>
);
};
```
Use `type` declarations for props rather than `interface` to ensure `defaultProps` type safety.
## Folders
Use `<Folder>` to organize compositions in the sidebar.
Folder names can only contain letters, numbers, and hyphens.
```tsx
import { Composition, Folder } from "remotion";
export const RemotionRoot = () => {
return (
<>
<Folder name="Marketing">
<Composition id="Promo" /* ... */ />
<Composition id="Ad" /* ... */ />
</Folder>
<Folder name="Social">
<Folder name="Instagram">
<Composition id="Story" /* ... */ />
<Composition id="Reel" /* ... */ />
</Folder>
</Folder>
</>
);
};
```
## Stills
Use `<Still>` for single-frame images. It does not require `durationInFrames` or `fps`.
```tsx
import { Still } from "remotion";
import { Thumbnail } from "./Thumbnail";
export const RemotionRoot = () => {
return (
<Still id="Thumbnail" component={Thumbnail} width={1280} height={720} />
);
};
```
## Calculate Metadata
Use `calculateMetadata` to make dimensions, duration, or props dynamic based on data.
```tsx
import { Composition, CalculateMetadataFunction } from "remotion";
import { MyComposition, MyCompositionProps } from "./MyComposition";
const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction<
MyCompositionProps
> = async ({ props, abortSignal }) => {
const data = await fetch(`https://api.example.com/video/${props.videoId}`, {
signal: abortSignal,
}).then((res) => res.json());
return {
durationInFrames: Math.ceil(data.duration * 30),
props: {
...props,
videoUrl: data.url,
},
};
};
export const RemotionRoot = () => {
return (
<Composition
id="MyComposition"
component={MyComposition}
durationInFrames={100} // Placeholder, will be overridden
fps={30}
width={1080}
height={1080}
defaultProps={{ videoId: "abc123" }}
calculateMetadata={calculateMetadata}
/>
);
};
```
The function can return `props`, `durationInFrames`, `width`, `height`, `fps`, and codec-related defaults. It runs once before rendering begins.
## Nesting compositions within another
To add a composition within another composition, you can use the `<Sequence>` component with a `width` and `height` prop to specify the size of the composition.
```tsx
<AbsoluteFill>
<Sequence width={COMPOSITION_WIDTH} height={COMPOSITION_HEIGHT}>
<CompositionComponent />
</Sequence>
</AbsoluteFill>
```

# Displaying captions in Remotion
This guide explains how to display captions in Remotion, assuming you already have captions in the [`Caption`](https://www.remotion.dev/docs/captions/caption) format.
## Prerequisites
Read [Transcribing audio](transcribe-captions.md) for how to generate captions.
First, the [`@remotion/captions`](https://www.remotion.dev/docs/captions) package needs to be installed.
If it is not installed, use the following command:
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/captions
```
## Fetching captions
First, fetch your captions JSON file. Use [`useDelayRender()`](https://www.remotion.dev/docs/use-delay-render) to hold the render until the captions are loaded:
```tsx
import { useState, useEffect, useCallback } from "react";
import { AbsoluteFill, staticFile, useDelayRender } from "remotion";
import type { Caption } from "@remotion/captions";
export const MyComponent: React.FC = () => {
const [captions, setCaptions] = useState<Caption[] | null>(null);
const { delayRender, continueRender, cancelRender } = useDelayRender();
const [handle] = useState(() => delayRender());
const fetchCaptions = useCallback(async () => {
try {
// Assuming captions.json is in the public/ folder.
const response = await fetch(staticFile("captions123.json"));
const data = await response.json();
setCaptions(data);
continueRender(handle);
} catch (e) {
cancelRender(e);
}
}, [continueRender, cancelRender, handle]);
useEffect(() => {
fetchCaptions();
}, [fetchCaptions]);
if (!captions) {
return null;
}
return <AbsoluteFill>{/* Render captions here */}</AbsoluteFill>;
};
```
## Creating pages
Use `createTikTokStyleCaptions()` to group captions into pages. The `combineTokensWithinMilliseconds` option controls how many words appear at once:
```tsx
import { useMemo } from "react";
import { createTikTokStyleCaptions } from "@remotion/captions";
import type { Caption } from "@remotion/captions";
// How often captions should switch (in milliseconds)
// Higher values = more words per page
// Lower values = fewer words (more word-by-word)
const SWITCH_CAPTIONS_EVERY_MS = 1200;
const { pages } = useMemo(() => {
return createTikTokStyleCaptions({
captions,
combineTokensWithinMilliseconds: SWITCH_CAPTIONS_EVERY_MS,
});
}, [captions]);
```
## Rendering with Sequences
Map over the pages and render each one in a `<Sequence>`. Calculate the start frame and duration from the page timing:
```tsx
import { Sequence, useVideoConfig, AbsoluteFill } from "remotion";
import type { TikTokPage } from "@remotion/captions";
const CaptionedContent: React.FC = () => {
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
return (
<AbsoluteFill>
{pages.map((page, index) => {
const nextPage = pages[index + 1] ?? null;
const startFrame = (page.startMs / 1000) * fps;
const endFrame = Math.min(
nextPage ? (nextPage.startMs / 1000) * fps : Infinity,
startFrame + (SWITCH_CAPTIONS_EVERY_MS / 1000) * fps,
);
const durationInFrames = endFrame - startFrame;
if (durationInFrames <= 0) {
return null;
}
return (
<Sequence
key={index}
from={startFrame}
durationInFrames={durationInFrames}
>
<CaptionPage page={page} />
</Sequence>
);
})}
</AbsoluteFill>
);
};
```
## White-space preservation
The captions are whitespace sensitive. You should include spaces in the `text` field before each word. Use `whiteSpace: "pre"` to preserve the whitespace in the captions.
## Separate component for captions
Put captioning logic in a separate component.
Make a new file for it.
## Word highlighting
A caption page contains `tokens` which you can use to highlight the currently spoken word:
```tsx
import { AbsoluteFill, useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
import type { TikTokPage } from "@remotion/captions";
const HIGHLIGHT_COLOR = "#39E508";
const CaptionPage: React.FC<{ page: TikTokPage }> = ({ page }) => {
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
// Current time relative to the start of the sequence
const currentTimeMs = (frame / fps) * 1000;
// Convert to absolute time by adding the page start
const absoluteTimeMs = page.startMs + currentTimeMs;
return (
<AbsoluteFill style={{ justifyContent: "center", alignItems: "center" }}>
<div style={{ fontSize: 80, fontWeight: "bold", whiteSpace: "pre" }}>
{page.tokens.map((token) => {
const isActive =
token.fromMs <= absoluteTimeMs && token.toMs > absoluteTimeMs;
return (
<span
key={token.fromMs}
style={{ color: isActive ? HIGHLIGHT_COLOR : "white" }}
>
{token.text}
</span>
);
})}
</div>
</AbsoluteFill>
);
};
```
## Display captions alongside video content
By default, put the captions alongside the video content, so the captions are in sync.
For each video, make a new captions JSON file.
```tsx
<AbsoluteFill>
<Video src={staticFile("video.mp4")} />
<CaptionPage page={page} />
</AbsoluteFill>
```

# Extracting frames from videos
Use Mediabunny to extract frames from videos at specific timestamps. This is useful for generating thumbnails, filmstrips, or processing individual frames.
## The `extractFrames()` function
This function can be copy-pasted into any project.
```tsx
import {
ALL_FORMATS,
Input,
UrlSource,
VideoSample,
VideoSampleSink,
} from "mediabunny";
type Options = {
track: { width: number; height: number };
container: string;
durationInSeconds: number | null;
};
export type ExtractFramesTimestampsInSecondsFn = (
options: Options,
) => Promise<number[]> | number[];
export type ExtractFramesProps = {
src: string;
timestampsInSeconds: number[] | ExtractFramesTimestampsInSecondsFn;
onVideoSample: (sample: VideoSample) => void;
signal?: AbortSignal;
};
export async function extractFrames({
src,
timestampsInSeconds,
onVideoSample,
signal,
}: ExtractFramesProps): Promise<void> {
using input = new Input({
formats: ALL_FORMATS,
source: new UrlSource(src),
});
const [durationInSeconds, format, videoTrack] = await Promise.all([
input.computeDuration(),
input.getFormat(),
input.getPrimaryVideoTrack(),
]);
if (!videoTrack) {
throw new Error("No video track found in the input");
}
if (signal?.aborted) {
throw new Error("Aborted");
}
const timestamps =
typeof timestampsInSeconds === "function"
? await timestampsInSeconds({
track: {
width: videoTrack.displayWidth,
height: videoTrack.displayHeight,
},
container: format.name,
durationInSeconds,
})
: timestampsInSeconds;
if (timestamps.length === 0) {
return;
}
if (signal?.aborted) {
throw new Error("Aborted");
}
const sink = new VideoSampleSink(videoTrack);
for await (using videoSample of sink.samplesAtTimestamps(timestamps)) {
if (signal?.aborted) {
break;
}
if (!videoSample) {
continue;
}
onVideoSample(videoSample);
}
}
```
## Basic usage
Extract frames at specific timestamps:
```tsx
await extractFrames({
src: "https://remotion.media/video.mp4",
timestampsInSeconds: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
onVideoSample: (sample) => {
const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
canvas.width = sample.displayWidth;
canvas.height = sample.displayHeight;
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
sample.draw(ctx!, 0, 0);
},
});
```
## Creating a filmstrip
Use a callback function to dynamically calculate timestamps based on video metadata:
```tsx
const canvasWidth = 500;
const canvasHeight = 80;
const fromSeconds = 0;
const toSeconds = 10;
await extractFrames({
src: "https://remotion.media/video.mp4",
timestampsInSeconds: async ({ track, durationInSeconds }) => {
const aspectRatio = track.width / track.height;
const amountOfFramesFit = Math.ceil(
canvasWidth / (canvasHeight * aspectRatio),
);
const segmentDuration = toSeconds - fromSeconds;
const timestamps: number[] = [];
for (let i = 0; i < amountOfFramesFit; i++) {
timestamps.push(
fromSeconds + (segmentDuration / amountOfFramesFit) * (i + 0.5),
);
}
return timestamps;
},
onVideoSample: (sample) => {
console.log(`Frame at ${sample.timestamp}s`);
const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
canvas.width = sample.displayWidth;
canvas.height = sample.displayHeight;
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
sample.draw(ctx!, 0, 0);
},
});
```
## Cancellation with AbortSignal
Cancel frame extraction after a timeout:
```tsx
const controller = new AbortController();
setTimeout(() => controller.abort(), 5000);
try {
await extractFrames({
src: "https://remotion.media/video.mp4",
timestampsInSeconds: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
onVideoSample: (sample) => {
using frame = sample;
const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
canvas.width = frame.displayWidth;
canvas.height = frame.displayHeight;
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
frame.draw(ctx!, 0, 0);
},
signal: controller.signal,
});
console.log("Frame extraction complete!");
} catch (error) {
console.error("Frame extraction was aborted or failed:", error);
}
```
## Timeout with Promise.race
```tsx
const controller = new AbortController();
const timeoutPromise = new Promise<never>((_, reject) => {
const timeoutId = setTimeout(() => {
controller.abort();
reject(new Error("Frame extraction timed out after 10 seconds"));
}, 10000);
controller.signal.addEventListener("abort", () => clearTimeout(timeoutId), {
once: true,
});
});
try {
await Promise.race([
extractFrames({
src: "https://remotion.media/video.mp4",
timestampsInSeconds: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
onVideoSample: (sample) => {
using frame = sample;
const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
canvas.width = frame.displayWidth;
canvas.height = frame.displayHeight;
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
frame.draw(ctx!, 0, 0);
},
signal: controller.signal,
}),
timeoutPromise,
]);
console.log("Frame extraction complete!");
} catch (error) {
console.error("Frame extraction was aborted or failed:", error);
}

## FFmpeg in Remotion
`ffmpeg` and `ffprobe` do not need to be installed. They are available via the `bunx remotion ffmpeg` and `bunx remotion ffprobe`:
```bash
bunx remotion ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.mp3
bunx remotion ffprobe input.mp4
```
### Trimming videos
You have 2 options for trimming videos:
1. Use the FFmpeg command line. You MUST re-encode the video to avoid frozen frames at the start of the video.
```bash
# Re-encodes from the exact frame
bunx remotion ffmpeg -ss 00:00:05 -i public/input.mp4 -to 00:00:10 -c:v libx264 -c:a aac public/output.mp4
```
2. Use the `trimBefore` and `trimAfter` props of the `<Video>` component. The benefit is that this is non-destructive and you can change the trim at any time.
```tsx
import { Video } from "@remotion/media";
<Video
src={staticFile("video.mp4")}
trimBefore={5 * fps}
trimAfter={10 * fps}
/>;

# Using fonts in Remotion
## Google Fonts with @remotion/google-fonts
The recommended way to use Google Fonts. It's type-safe and automatically blocks rendering until the font is ready.
### Prerequisites
First, the @remotion/google-fonts package needs to be installed.
If it is not installed, use the following command:
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/google-fonts # If project uses npm
bunx remotion add @remotion/google-fonts # If project uses bun
yarn remotion add @remotion/google-fonts # If project uses yarn
pnpm exec remotion add @remotion/google-fonts # If project uses pnpm
```
```tsx
import { loadFont } from "@remotion/google-fonts/Lobster";
const { fontFamily } = loadFont();
export const MyComposition = () => {
return <div style={{ fontFamily }}>Hello World</div>;
};
```
Preferrably, specify only needed weights and subsets to reduce file size:
```tsx
import { loadFont } from "@remotion/google-fonts/Roboto";
const { fontFamily } = loadFont("normal", {
weights: ["400", "700"],
subsets: ["latin"],
});
```
### Waiting for font to load
Use `waitUntilDone()` if you need to know when the font is ready:
```tsx
import { loadFont } from "@remotion/google-fonts/Lobster";
const { fontFamily, waitUntilDone } = loadFont();
await waitUntilDone();
```
## Local fonts with @remotion/fonts
For local font files, use the `@remotion/fonts` package.
### Prerequisites
First, install @remotion/fonts:
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/fonts # If project uses npm
bunx remotion add @remotion/fonts # If project uses bun
yarn remotion add @remotion/fonts # If project uses yarn
pnpm exec remotion add @remotion/fonts # If project uses pnpm
```
### Loading a local font
Place your font file in the `public/` folder and use `loadFont()`:
```tsx
import { loadFont } from "@remotion/fonts";
import { staticFile } from "remotion";
await loadFont({
family: "MyFont",
url: staticFile("MyFont-Regular.woff2"),
});
export const MyComposition = () => {
return <div style={{ fontFamily: "MyFont" }}>Hello World</div>;
};
```
### Loading multiple weights
Load each weight separately with the same family name:
```tsx
import { loadFont } from "@remotion/fonts";
import { staticFile } from "remotion";
await Promise.all([
loadFont({
family: "Inter",
url: staticFile("Inter-Regular.woff2"),
weight: "400",
}),
loadFont({
family: "Inter",
url: staticFile("Inter-Bold.woff2"),
weight: "700",
}),
]);
```
### Available options
```tsx
loadFont({
family: "MyFont", // Required: name to use in CSS
url: staticFile("font.woff2"), // Required: font file URL
format: "woff2", // Optional: auto-detected from extension
weight: "400", // Optional: font weight
style: "normal", // Optional: normal or italic
display: "block", // Optional: font-display behavior
});
```
## Using in components
Call `loadFont()` at the top level of your component or in a separate file that's imported early:
```tsx
import { loadFont } from "@remotion/google-fonts/Montserrat";
const { fontFamily } = loadFont("normal", {
weights: ["400", "700"],
subsets: ["latin"],
});
export const Title: React.FC<{ text: string }> = ({ text }) => {
return (
<h1
style={{
fontFamily,
fontSize: 80,
fontWeight: "bold",
}}
>
{text}
</h1>
);
};

description: Displaying GIFs, APNG, AVIF and WebP in Remotion
metadata:
tags: gif, animation, images, animated, apng, avif, webp
---
# Using Animated images in Remotion
## Basic usage
Use `<AnimatedImage>` to display a GIF, APNG, AVIF or WebP image synchronized with Remotion's timeline:
```tsx
import { AnimatedImage, staticFile } from "remotion";
export const MyComposition = () => {
return (
<AnimatedImage src={staticFile("animation.gif")} width={500} height={500} />
);
};
```
Remote URLs are also supported (must have CORS enabled):
```tsx
<AnimatedImage
src="https://example.com/animation.gif"
width={500}
height={500}
/>
```
## Sizing and fit
Control how the image fills its container with the `fit` prop:
```tsx
// Stretch to fill (default)
<AnimatedImage src={staticFile("animation.gif")} width={500} height={300} fit="fill" />
// Maintain aspect ratio, fit inside container
<AnimatedImage src={staticFile("animation.gif")} width={500} height={300} fit="contain" />
// Fill container, crop if needed
<AnimatedImage src={staticFile("animation.gif")} width={500} height={300} fit="cover" />
```
## Playback speed
Use `playbackRate` to control the animation speed:
```tsx
<AnimatedImage src={staticFile("animation.gif")} width={500} height={500} playbackRate={2} /> {/* 2x speed */}
<AnimatedImage src={staticFile("animation.gif")} width={500} height={500} playbackRate={0.5} /> {/* Half speed */}
```
## Looping behavior
Control what happens when the animation finishes:
```tsx
// Loop indefinitely (default)
<AnimatedImage src={staticFile("animation.gif")} width={500} height={500} loopBehavior="loop" />
// Play once, show final frame
<AnimatedImage src={staticFile("animation.gif")} width={500} height={500} loopBehavior="pause-after-finish" />
// Play once, then clear canvas
<AnimatedImage src={staticFile("animation.gif")} width={500} height={500} loopBehavior="clear-after-finish" />
```
## Styling
Use the `style` prop for additional CSS (use `width` and `height` props for sizing):
```tsx
<AnimatedImage
src={staticFile("animation.gif")}
width={500}
height={500}
style={{
borderRadius: 20,
position: "absolute",
top: 100,
left: 50,
}}
/>
```
## Getting GIF duration
Use `getGifDurationInSeconds()` from `@remotion/gif` to get the duration of a GIF.
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/gif
```
```tsx
import { getGifDurationInSeconds } from "@remotion/gif";
import { staticFile } from "remotion";
const duration = await getGifDurationInSeconds(staticFile("animation.gif"));
console.log(duration); // e.g. 2.5
```
This is useful for setting the composition duration to match the GIF:
```tsx
import { getGifDurationInSeconds } from "@remotion/gif";
import { staticFile, CalculateMetadataFunction } from "remotion";
const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction = async () => {
const duration = await getGifDurationInSeconds(staticFile("animation.gif"));
return {
durationInFrames: Math.ceil(duration * 30),
};
};
```
## Alternative
If `<AnimatedImage>` does not work (only supported in Chrome and Firefox), you can use `<Gif>` from `@remotion/gif` instead.
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/gif # If project uses npm

# Using images in Remotion
## The `<Img>` component
Always use the `<Img>` component from `remotion` to display images:
```tsx
import { Img, staticFile } from "remotion";
export const MyComposition = () => {
return <Img src={staticFile("photo.png")} />;
};
```
## Important restrictions
**You MUST use the `<Img>` component from `remotion`.** Do not use:
- Native HTML `<img>` elements
- Next.js `<Image>` component
- CSS `background-image`
The `<Img>` component ensures images are fully loaded before rendering, preventing flickering and blank frames during video export.
## Local images with staticFile()
Place images in the `public/` folder and use `staticFile()` to reference them:
```
my-video/
├─ public/
│ ├─ logo.png
│ ├─ avatar.jpg
│ └─ icon.svg
├─ src/
├─ package.json
```
```tsx
import { Img, staticFile } from "remotion";
<Img src={staticFile("logo.png")} />;
```
## Remote images
Remote URLs can be used directly without `staticFile()`:
```tsx
<Img src="https://example.com/image.png" />
```
Ensure remote images have CORS enabled.
For animated GIFs, use the `<Gif>` component from `@remotion/gif` instead.
## Sizing and positioning
Use the `style` prop to control size and position:
```tsx
<Img
src={staticFile("photo.png")}
style={{
width: 500,
height: 300,
position: "absolute",
top: 100,
left: 50,
objectFit: "cover",
}}
/>
```
## Dynamic image paths
Use template literals for dynamic file references:
```tsx
import { Img, staticFile, useCurrentFrame } from "remotion";
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
// Image sequence
<Img src={staticFile(`frames/frame${frame}.png`)} />
// Selecting based on props
<Img src={staticFile(`avatars/${props.userId}.png`)} />
// Conditional images
<Img src={staticFile(`icons/${isActive ? "active" : "inactive"}.svg`)} />
```
This pattern is useful for:
- Image sequences (frame-by-frame animations)
- User-specific avatars or profile images
- Theme-based icons
- State-dependent graphics
## Getting image dimensions
Use `getImageDimensions()` to get the dimensions of an image:
```tsx
import { getImageDimensions, staticFile } from "remotion";
const { width, height } = await getImageDimensions(staticFile("photo.png"));
```
This is useful for calculating aspect ratios or sizing compositions:
```tsx
import {
getImageDimensions,
staticFile,
CalculateMetadataFunction,
} from "remotion";
const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction = async () => {
const { width, height } = await getImageDimensions(staticFile("photo.png"));
return {
width,
height,
};
};

# Importing .srt subtitles into Remotion
If you have an existing `.srt` subtitle file, you can import it into Remotion using `parseSrt()` from `@remotion/captions`.
If you don't have a .srt file, read [Transcribing audio](transcribe-captions.md) for how to generate captions instead.
## Prerequisites
First, the @remotion/captions package needs to be installed.
If it is not installed, use the following command:
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/captions # If project uses npm
bunx remotion add @remotion/captions # If project uses bun
yarn remotion add @remotion/captions # If project uses yarn
pnpm exec remotion add @remotion/captions # If project uses pnpm
```
## Reading an .srt file
Use `staticFile()` to reference an `.srt` file in your `public` folder, then fetch and parse it:
```tsx
import { useState, useEffect, useCallback } from "react";
import { AbsoluteFill, staticFile, useDelayRender } from "remotion";
import { parseSrt } from "@remotion/captions";
import type { Caption } from "@remotion/captions";
export const MyComponent: React.FC = () => {
const [captions, setCaptions] = useState<Caption[] | null>(null);
const { delayRender, continueRender, cancelRender } = useDelayRender();
const [handle] = useState(() => delayRender());
const fetchCaptions = useCallback(async () => {
try {
const response = await fetch(staticFile("subtitles.srt"));
const text = await response.text();
const { captions: parsed } = parseSrt({ input: text });
setCaptions(parsed);
continueRender(handle);
} catch (e) {
cancelRender(e);
}
}, [continueRender, cancelRender, handle]);
useEffect(() => {
fetchCaptions();
}, [fetchCaptions]);
if (!captions) {
return null;
}
return <AbsoluteFill>{/* Use captions here */}</AbsoluteFill>;
};
```
Remote URLs are also supported - you can `fetch()` a remote file via URL instead of using `staticFile()`.
## Using imported captions
Once parsed, the captions are in the `Caption` format and can be used with all `@remotion/captions` utilities.

## Light Leaks
This only works from Remotion 4.0.415 and up. Use `npx remotion versions` to check your Remotion version and `npx remotion upgrade` to upgrade your Remotion version.
`<LightLeak>` from `@remotion/light-leaks` renders a WebGL-based light leak effect. It reveals during the first half of its duration and retracts during the second half.
Typically used inside a `<TransitionSeries.Overlay>` to play over the cut point between two scenes. See the **transitions** rule for `<TransitionSeries>` and overlay usage.
## Prerequisites
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/light-leaks
```
## Basic usage with TransitionSeries
```tsx
import { TransitionSeries } from "@remotion/transitions";
import { LightLeak } from "@remotion/light-leaks";
<TransitionSeries>
<TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<SceneA />
</TransitionSeries.Sequence>
<TransitionSeries.Overlay durationInFrames={30}>
<LightLeak />
</TransitionSeries.Overlay>
<TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<SceneB />
</TransitionSeries.Sequence>
</TransitionSeries>;
```
## Props
- `durationInFrames?` — defaults to the parent sequence/composition duration. The effect reveals during the first half and retracts during the second half.
- `seed?` — determines the shape of the light leak pattern. Different seeds produce different patterns. Default: `0`.
- `hueShift?` — rotates the hue in degrees (`0`–`360`). Default: `0` (yellow-to-orange). `120` = green, `240` = blue.
## Customizing the look
```tsx
import { LightLeak } from "@remotion/light-leaks";
// Blue-tinted light leak with a different pattern
<LightLeak seed={5} hueShift={240} />;
// Green-tinted light leak
<LightLeak seed={2} hueShift={120} />;
```
## Standalone usage
`<LightLeak>` can also be used outside of `<TransitionSeries>`, for example as a decorative overlay in any composition:
```tsx
import { AbsoluteFill } from "remotion";
import { LightLeak } from "@remotion/light-leaks";
const MyComp: React.FC = () => (
<AbsoluteFill>
<MyContent />
<LightLeak durationInFrames={60} seed={3} />
</AbsoluteFill>

Maps can be added to a Remotion video with Mapbox.
The [Mapbox documentation](https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api/) has the API reference.
## Prerequisites
Mapbox and `@turf/turf` need to be installed.
Search the project for lockfiles and run the correct command depending on the package manager:
If `package-lock.json` is found, use the following command:
```bash
npm i mapbox-gl @turf/turf @types/mapbox-gl
```
If `bun.lock` is found, use the following command:
```bash
bun i mapbox-gl @turf/turf @types/mapbox-gl
```
If `yarn.lock` is found, use the following command:
```bash
yarn add mapbox-gl @turf/turf @types/mapbox-gl
```
If `pnpm-lock.yaml` is found, use the following command:
```bash
pnpm i mapbox-gl @turf/turf @types/mapbox-gl
```
The user needs to create a free Mapbox account and create an access token by visiting https://console.mapbox.com/account/access-tokens/.
The mapbox token needs to be added to the `.env` file:
```txt title=".env"
REMOTION_MAPBOX_TOKEN==pk.your-mapbox-access-token
```
## Adding a map
Here is a basic example of a map in Remotion.
```tsx
import { useEffect, useMemo, useRef, useState } from "react";
import { AbsoluteFill, useDelayRender, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
import mapboxgl, { Map } from "mapbox-gl";
export const lineCoordinates = [

export const MyComposition = () => {
const ref = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null);
const { delayRender, continueRender } = useDelayRender();
const { width, height } = useVideoConfig();
const [handle] = useState(() => delayRender("Loading map..."));
const [map, setMap] = useState<Map | null>(null);
useEffect(() => {
const _map = new Map({
container: ref.current!,
zoom: 11.53,
center: [6.5615, 46.0598],
pitch: 65,
bearing: 0,
style: "⁠mapbox://styles/mapbox/standard",
interactive: false,
fadeDuration: 0,
});
_map.on("style.load", () => {
// Hide all features from the Mapbox Standard style
const hideFeatures = [
"showRoadsAndTransit",
"showRoads",
"showTransit",
"showPedestrianRoads",
"showRoadLabels",
"showTransitLabels",
"showPlaceLabels",
"showPointOfInterestLabels",
"showPointsOfInterest",
"showAdminBoundaries",

type: "LineString",
coordinates: lineCoordinates,
},
},
});

source: "trace",
id: "line",
paint: {
"line-color": "black",
"line-width": 5,

const style: React.CSSProperties = useMemo(
() => ({ width, height, position: "absolute" }),
[width, height],
);
return <AbsoluteFill ref={ref} style={style} />;
};
```
The following is important in Remotion:
- Animations must be driven by `useCurrentFrame()` and animations that Mapbox brings itself should be disabled. For example, the `fadeDuration` prop should be set to `0`, `interactive` should be set to `false`, etc.
- Loading the map should be delayed using `useDelayRender()` and the map should be set to `null` until it is loaded.
- The element containing the ref MUST have an explicit width and height and `position: "absolute"`.
- Do not add a `_map.remove();` cleanup function.
## Drawing lines
Unless I request it, do not add a glow effect to the lines.
Unless I request it, do not add additional points to the lines.
## Map style
By default, use the `mapbox://styles/mapbox/standard` style.
Hide the labels from the base map style.
Unless I request otherwise, remove all features from the Mapbox Standard style.
```tsx
// Hide all features from the Mapbox Standard style
const hideFeatures = [
"showRoadsAndTransit",
"showRoads",
"showTransit",
"showPedestrianRoads",
"showRoadLabels",
"showTransitLabels",
"showPlaceLabels",
"showPointOfInterestLabels",
"showPointsOfInterest",
"showAdminBoundaries",
"showLandmarkIcons",
"showLandmarkIconLabels",
"show3dObjects",
"show3dBuildings",
"show3dTrees",
"show3dLandmarks",
"show3dFacades",
];
for (const feature of hideFeatures) {
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", feature, false);
}
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", "colorMotorways", "transparent");
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", "colorRoads", "transparent");
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", "colorTrunks", "transparent");
```
## Animating the camera
You can animate the camera along the line by adding a `useEffect` hook that updates the camera position based on the current frame.
Unless I ask for it, do not jump between camera angles.
```tsx
import * as turf from "@turf/turf";
import { interpolate } from "remotion";
import { Easing } from "remotion";
import { useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig, useDelayRender } from "remotion";
const animationDuration = 20;
const cameraAltitude = 4000;
```
```tsx
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
const { delayRender, continueRender } = useDelayRender();
useEffect(() => {
if (!map) {
return;
}
const handle = delayRender("Moving point...");
const routeDistance = turf.length(turf.lineString(lineCoordinates));
const progress = interpolate(
frame / fps,
[0.00001, animationDuration],
[0, 1],
{
easing: Easing.inOut(Easing.sin),
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
},
);
const camera = map.getFreeCameraOptions();
const alongRoute = turf.along(
turf.lineString(lineCoordinates),
routeDistance * progress,
).geometry.coordinates;
camera.lookAtPoint({
lng: alongRoute[0],
lat: alongRoute[1],
});
map.setFreeCameraOptions(camera);
map.once("idle", () => continueRender(handle));
}, [lineCoordinates, fps, frame, handle, map]);
```
Notes:
IMPORTANT: Keep the camera by default so north is up.
IMPORTANT: For multi-step animations, set all properties at all stages (zoom, position, line progress) to prevent jumps. Override initial values.
- The progress is clamped to a minimum value to avoid the line being empty, which can lead to turf errors
- See [Timing](./timing.md) for more options for timing.
- Consider the dimensions of the composition and make the lines thick enough and the label font size large enough to be legible for when the composition is scaled down.
## Animating lines
### Straight lines (linear interpolation)
To animate a line that appears straight on the map, use linear interpolation between coordinates. Do NOT use turf's `lineSliceAlong` or `along` functions, as they use geodesic (great circle) calculations which appear curved on a Mercator projection.
```tsx
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { durationInFrames } = useVideoConfig();
useEffect(() => {
if (!map) return;
const animationHandle = delayRender("Animating line...");
const progress = interpolate(frame, [0, durationInFrames - 1], [0, 1], {
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
easing: Easing.inOut(Easing.cubic),
});
// Linear interpolation for a straight line on the map
const start = lineCoordinates[0];
const end = lineCoordinates[1];
const currentLng = start[0] + (end[0] - start[0]) * progress;
const currentLat = start[1] + (end[1] - start[1]) * progress;
const lineData: GeoJSON.Feature<GeoJSON.LineString> = {
type: "Feature",
properties: {},
geometry: {
type: "LineString",
coordinates: [start, [currentLng, currentLat]],
},
};
const source = map.getSource("trace") as mapboxgl.GeoJSONSource;
if (source) {
source.setData(lineData);
}
map.once("idle", () => continueRender(animationHandle));
}, [frame, map, durationInFrames]);
```
### Curved lines (geodesic/great circle)
To animate a line that follows the geodesic (great circle) path between two points, use turf's `lineSliceAlong`. This is useful for showing flight paths or the actual shortest distance on Earth.
```tsx
import * as turf from "@turf/turf";
const routeLine = turf.lineString(lineCoordinates);
const routeDistance = turf.length(routeLine);
const currentDistance = Math.max(0.001, routeDistance * progress);
const slicedLine = turf.lineSliceAlong(routeLine, 0, currentDistance);
const source = map.getSource("route") as mapboxgl.GeoJSONSource;
if (source) {
source.setData(slicedLine);
}
```
## Markers
Add labels, and markers where appropriate.
```tsx
_map.addSource("markers", {
type: "geojson",
data: {
type: "FeatureCollection",
features: [
{
type: "Feature",
properties: { name: "Point 1" },
geometry: { type: "Point", coordinates: [-118.2437, 34.0522] },
},
],
},
});
_map.addLayer({
id: "city-markers",
type: "circle",
source: "markers",
paint: {
"circle-radius": 40,
"circle-color": "#FF4444",
"circle-stroke-width": 4,
"circle-stroke-color": "#FFFFFF",
},
});
_map.addLayer({
id: "labels",
type: "symbol",
source: "markers",
layout: {
"text-field": ["get", "name"],
"text-font": ["DIN Pro Bold", "Arial Unicode MS Bold"],
"text-size": 50,
"text-offset": [0, 0.5],
"text-anchor": "top",
},
paint: {
"text-color": "#FFFFFF",
"text-halo-color": "#000000",
"text-halo-width": 2,
},
});
```
Make sure they are big enough. Check the composition dimensions and scale the labels accordingly.
For a composition size of 1920x1080, the label font size should be at least 40px.
IMPORTANT: Keep the `text-offset` small enough so it is close to the marker. Consider the marker circle radius. For a circle radius of 40, this is a good offset:
```tsx
"text-offset": [0, 0.5],
```
## 3D buildings
To enable 3D buildings, use the following code:
```tsx
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", "show3dObjects", true);
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", "show3dLandmarks", true);
_map.setConfigProperty("basemap", "show3dBuildings", true);
```
## Rendering
When rendering a map animation, make sure to render with the following flags:

metadata:
tags: measure, text, layout, dimensions, fitText, fillTextBox
---
# Measuring text in Remotion
## Prerequisites
Install @remotion/layout-utils if it is not already installed:
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/layout-utils
```
## Measuring text dimensions
Use `measureText()` to calculate the width and height of text:
```tsx
import { measureText } from "@remotion/layout-utils";
const { width, height } = measureText({
text: "Hello World",
fontFamily: "Arial",
fontSize: 32,
fontWeight: "bold",
});
```
Results are cached - duplicate calls return the cached result.
## Fitting text to a width
Use `fitText()` to find the optimal font size for a container:
```tsx
import { fitText } from "@remotion/layout-utils";
const { fontSize } = fitText({
text: "Hello World",
withinWidth: 600,
fontFamily: "Inter",
fontWeight: "bold",
});
return (
<div
style={{
fontSize: Math.min(fontSize, 80), // Cap at 80px
fontFamily: "Inter",
fontWeight: "bold",
}}
>
Hello World
</div>
);
```
## Checking text overflow
Use `fillTextBox()` to check if text exceeds a box:
```tsx
import { fillTextBox } from "@remotion/layout-utils";
const box = fillTextBox({ maxBoxWidth: 400, maxLines: 3 });
const words = ["Hello", "World", "This", "is", "a", "test"];
for (const word of words) {
const { exceedsBox } = box.add({
text: word + " ",
fontFamily: "Arial",
fontSize: 24,
});
if (exceedsBox) {
// Text would overflow, handle accordingly
break;
}
}
```
## Best practices
**Load fonts first:** Only call measurement functions after fonts are loaded.
```tsx
import { loadFont } from "@remotion/google-fonts/Inter";
const { fontFamily, waitUntilDone } = loadFont("normal", {
weights: ["400"],
subsets: ["latin"],
});
waitUntilDone().then(() => {
// Now safe to measure
const { width } = measureText({
text: "Hello",
fontFamily,
fontSize: 32,
});
});
```
**Use validateFontIsLoaded:** Catch font loading issues early:
```tsx
measureText({
text: "Hello",
fontFamily: "MyCustomFont",
fontSize: 32,
validateFontIsLoaded: true, // Throws if font not loaded
});
```
**Match font properties:** Use the same properties for measurement and rendering:
```tsx
const fontStyle = {
fontFamily: "Inter",
fontSize: 32,
fontWeight: "bold" as const,
letterSpacing: "0.5px",
};
const { width } = measureText({
text: "Hello",
...fontStyle,
});
return <div style={fontStyle}>Hello</div>;
```
**Avoid padding and border:** Use `outline` instead of `border` to prevent layout differences:
```tsx
<div style={{ outline: "2px solid red" }}>Text</div>
```

To make a video parametrizable, a Zod schema can be added to a composition.
First, `zod` must be installed .
Search the project for lockfiles and run the correct command depending on the package manager:
If `package-lock.json` is found, use the following command:
```bash
npm i zod
```
If `bun.lockb` is found, use the following command:
```bash
bun i zod
```
If `yarn.lock` is found, use the following command:
```bash
yarn add zod
```
If `pnpm-lock.yaml` is found, use the following command:
```bash
pnpm i zod
```
Then, a Zod schema can be defined alongside the component:
```tsx title="src/MyComposition.tsx"
import { z } from "zod";
export const MyCompositionSchema = z.object({
title: z.string(),
});
const MyComponent: React.FC<z.infer<typeof MyCompositionSchema>> = () => {
return (
<div>
<h1>{props.title}</h1>
</div>
);
};
```
In the root file, the schema can be passed to the composition:
```tsx title="src/Root.tsx"
import { Composition } from "remotion";
import { MycComponent, MyCompositionSchema } from "./MyComposition";
export const RemotionRoot = () => {

height={1080}
defaultProps={{ title: "Hello World" }}
schema={MyCompositionSchema}
/>
);
};
```
Now, the user can edit the parameter visually in the sidebar.
All schemas that are supported by Zod are supported by Remotion.
Remotion requires that the top-level type is a z.object(), because the collection of props of a React component is always an object.
## Color picker
For adding a color picker, use `zColor()` from `@remotion/zod-types`.
If it is not installed, use the following command:
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/zod-types # If project uses npm
bunx remotion add @remotion/zod-types # If project uses bun
yarn remotion add @remotion/zod-types # If project uses yarn
pnpm exec remotion add @remotion/zod-types # If project uses pnpm
```
Then import `zColor` from `@remotion/zod-types`:
```tsx
import { zColor } from "@remotion/zod-types";
```
Then use it in the schema:
```tsx
export const MyCompositionSchema = z.object({
color: zColor(),
});

description: Sequencing patterns for Remotion - delay, trim, limit duration of items
metadata:
tags: sequence, series, timing, delay, trim

Use `<Sequence>` to delay when an element appears in the timeline.
```tsx
import { Sequence } from "remotion";
const {fps} = useVideoConfig();
<Sequence from={1 * fps} durationInFrames={2 * fps} premountFor={1 * fps}>
<Title />
</Sequence>
<Sequence from={2 * fps} durationInFrames={2 * fps} premountFor={1 * fps}>
<Subtitle />
</Sequence>
```
This will by default wrap the component in an absolute fill element.
If the items should not be wrapped, use the `layout` prop:
```tsx
<Sequence layout="none">
<Title />
</Sequence>
```
## Premounting
This loads the component in the timeline before it is actually played.
Always premount any `<Sequence>`!
```tsx
<Sequence premountFor={1 * fps}>
<Title />
</Sequence>
```
## Series
Use `<Series>` when elements should play one after another without overlap.
```tsx
import { Series } from "remotion";
<Series>
<Series.Sequence durationInFrames={45}>
<Intro />
</Series.Sequence>
<Series.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<MainContent />
</Series.Sequence>
<Series.Sequence durationInFrames={30}>
<Outro />
</Series.Sequence>
</Series>;
```
Same as with `<Sequence>`, the items will be wrapped in an absolute fill element by default when using `<Series.Sequence>`, unless the `layout` prop is set to `none`.
### Series with overlaps
Use negative offset for overlapping sequences:
```tsx
<Series>
<Series.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<SceneA />
</Series.Sequence>
<Series.Sequence offset={-15} durationInFrames={60}>
{/* Starts 15 frames before SceneA ends */}
<SceneB />
</Series.Sequence>
</Series>
```
## Frame References Inside Sequences
Inside a Sequence, `useCurrentFrame()` returns the local frame (starting from 0):
```tsx
<Sequence from={60} durationInFrames={30}>
<MyComponent />
{/* Inside MyComponent, useCurrentFrame() returns 0-29, not 60-89 */}
</Sequence>
```
## Nested Sequences
Sequences can be nested for complex timing:
```tsx
<Sequence from={0} durationInFrames={120}>
<Background />
<Sequence from={15} durationInFrames={90} layout="none">
<Title />
</Sequence>
<Sequence from={45} durationInFrames={60} layout="none">
<Subtitle />
</Sequence>
</Sequence>
```
## Nesting compositions within another
To add a composition within another composition, you can use the `<Sequence>` component with a `width` and `height` prop to specify the size of the composition.
```tsx
<AbsoluteFill>
<Sequence width={COMPOSITION_WIDTH} height={COMPOSITION_HEIGHT}>
<CompositionComponent />
</Sequence>
</AbsoluteFill>

name: timing
description: Interpolation curves in Remotion - linear, easing, spring animations
metadata:
tags: spring, bounce, easing, interpolation
---
A simple linear interpolation is done using the `interpolate` function.
```ts title="Going from 0 to 1 over 100 frames"
import { interpolate } from "remotion";
const opacity = interpolate(frame, [0, 100], [0, 1]);
```
By default, the values are not clamped, so the value can go outside the range [0, 1].
Here is how they can be clamped:
```ts title="Going from 0 to 1 over 100 frames with extrapolation"
const opacity = interpolate(frame, [0, 100], [0, 1], {
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
});
```
## Spring animations
Spring animations have a more natural motion.
They go from 0 to 1 over time.
```ts title="Spring animation from 0 to 1 over 100 frames"
import { spring, useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
const scale = spring({
frame,
fps,
});
```
### Physical properties
The default configuration is: `mass: 1, damping: 10, stiffness: 100`.
This leads to the animation having a bit of bounce before it settles.
The config can be overwritten like this:
```ts
const scale = spring({
frame,
fps,
config: { damping: 200 },
});
```
The recommended configuration for a natural motion without a bounce is: `{ damping: 200 }`.
Here are some common configurations:
```tsx
const smooth = { damping: 200 }; // Smooth, no bounce (subtle reveals)
const snappy = { damping: 20, stiffness: 200 }; // Snappy, minimal bounce (UI elements)
const bouncy = { damping: 8 }; // Bouncy entrance (playful animations)
const heavy = { damping: 15, stiffness: 80, mass: 2 }; // Heavy, slow, small bounce
```
### Delay
The animation starts immediately by default.
Use the `delay` parameter to delay the animation by a number of frames.
```tsx
const entrance = spring({
frame: frame - ENTRANCE_DELAY,
fps,
delay: 20,
});
```
### Duration
A `spring()` has a natural duration based on the physical properties.
To stretch the animation to a specific duration, use the `durationInFrames` parameter.
```tsx
const spring = spring({
frame,
fps,
durationInFrames: 40,
});
```
### Combining spring() with interpolate()
Map spring output (0-1) to custom ranges:
```tsx
const springProgress = spring({
frame,
fps,
});
// Map to rotation
const rotation = interpolate(springProgress, [0, 1], [0, 360]);
<div style={{ rotate: rotation + "deg" }} />;
```
### Adding springs
Springs return just numbers, so math can be performed:
```tsx
const frame = useCurrentFrame();
const { fps, durationInFrames } = useVideoConfig();
const inAnimation = spring({
frame,
fps,
});
const outAnimation = spring({
frame,
fps,
durationInFrames: 1 * fps,
delay: durationInFrames - 1 * fps,
});
const scale = inAnimation - outAnimation;
```
## Easing
Easing can be added to the `interpolate` function:
```ts
import { interpolate, Easing } from "remotion";
const value1 = interpolate(frame, [0, 100], [0, 1], {
easing: Easing.inOut(Easing.quad),
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
});
```
The default easing is `Easing.linear`.
There are various other convexities:
- `Easing.in` for starting slow and accelerating
- `Easing.out` for starting fast and slowing down
- `Easing.inOut`
and curves (sorted from most linear to most curved):
- `Easing.quad`
- `Easing.sin`
- `Easing.exp`
- `Easing.circle`
Convexities and curves need be combined for an easing function:
```ts
const value1 = interpolate(frame, [0, 100], [0, 1], {
easing: Easing.inOut(Easing.quad),
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
});
```
Cubic bezier curves are also supported:
```ts
const value1 = interpolate(frame, [0, 100], [0, 1], {
easing: Easing.bezier(0.8, 0.22, 0.96, 0.65),
extrapolateLeft: "clamp",
extrapolateRight: "clamp",
});

# Transcribing audio
To transcribe audio to generate captions in Remotion, you can use the [`transcribe()`](https://www.remotion.dev/docs/install-whisper-cpp/transcribe) function from the [`@remotion/install-whisper-cpp`](https://www.remotion.dev/docs/install-whisper-cpp) package.
## Prerequisites
First, the @remotion/install-whisper-cpp package needs to be installed.
If it is not installed, use the following command:
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/install-whisper-cpp
```
## Transcribing
Make a Node.js script to download Whisper.cpp and a model, and transcribe the audio.
```ts
import path from "path";
import {
downloadWhisperModel,
installWhisperCpp,
transcribe,
toCaptions,
} from "@remotion/install-whisper-cpp";
import fs from "fs";
const to = path.join(process.cwd(), "whisper.cpp");
await installWhisperCpp({
to,
version: "1.5.5",
});
await downloadWhisperModel({
model: "medium.en",
folder: to,
});
// Convert the audio to a 16KHz wav file first if needed:
// import {execSync} from 'child_process';
// execSync('ffmpeg -i /path/to/audio.mp4 -ar 16000 /path/to/audio.wav -y');
const whisperCppOutput = await transcribe({
model: "medium.en",
whisperPath: to,
whisperCppVersion: "1.5.5",
inputPath: "/path/to/audio123.wav",
tokenLevelTimestamps: true,
});
// Optional: Apply our recommended postprocessing
const { captions } = toCaptions({
whisperCppOutput,
});
// Write it to the public/ folder so it can be fetched from Remotion
fs.writeFileSync("captions123.json", JSON.stringify(captions, null, 2));
```
Transcribe each clip individually and create multiple JSON files.
See [Displaying captions](display-captions.md) for how to display the captions in Remotion.

description: Scene transitions and overlays for Remotion using TransitionSeries.
metadata:
tags: transitions, overlays, fade, slide, wipe, scenes
---
## TransitionSeries
`<TransitionSeries>` arranges scenes and supports two ways to enhance the cut point between them:
- **Transitions** (`<TransitionSeries.Transition>`) — crossfade, slide, wipe, etc. between two scenes. Shortens the timeline because both scenes play simultaneously during the transition.
- **Overlays** (`<TransitionSeries.Overlay>`) — render an effect (e.g. a light leak) on top of the cut point without shortening the timeline.
Children are absolutely positioned.
## Prerequisites
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/transitions
```
## Transition example
```tsx
import { TransitionSeries, linearTiming } from "@remotion/transitions";
import { fade } from "@remotion/transitions/fade";
<TransitionSeries>
<TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<SceneA />
</TransitionSeries.Sequence>
<TransitionSeries.Transition
presentation={fade()}
timing={linearTiming({ durationInFrames: 15 })}
/>
<TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<SceneB />
</TransitionSeries.Sequence>
</TransitionSeries>;
```
## Overlay example
Any React component can be used as an overlay. For a ready-made effect, see the **light-leaks** rule.
```tsx
import { TransitionSeries } from "@remotion/transitions";
import { LightLeak } from "@remotion/light-leaks";
<TransitionSeries>
<TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<SceneA />
</TransitionSeries.Sequence>
<TransitionSeries.Overlay durationInFrames={20}>
<LightLeak />
</TransitionSeries.Overlay>
<TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<SceneB />
</TransitionSeries.Sequence>
</TransitionSeries>;
```
## Mixing transitions and overlays
Transitions and overlays can coexist in the same `<TransitionSeries>`, but an overlay cannot be adjacent to a transition or another overlay.
```tsx
import { TransitionSeries, linearTiming } from "@remotion/transitions";
import { fade } from "@remotion/transitions/fade";
import { LightLeak } from "@remotion/light-leaks";
<TransitionSeries>
<TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<SceneA />
</TransitionSeries.Sequence>
<TransitionSeries.Overlay durationInFrames={30}>
<LightLeak />
</TransitionSeries.Overlay>
<TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<SceneB />
</TransitionSeries.Sequence>
<TransitionSeries.Transition
presentation={fade()}
timing={linearTiming({ durationInFrames: 15 })}
/>
<TransitionSeries.Sequence durationInFrames={60}>
<SceneC />
</TransitionSeries.Sequence>
</TransitionSeries>;
```
## Transition props
`<TransitionSeries.Transition>` requires:
- `presentation` — the visual effect (e.g. `fade()`, `slide()`, `wipe()`).
- `timing` — controls speed and easing (e.g. `linearTiming()`, `springTiming()`).
## Overlay props
`<TransitionSeries.Overlay>` accepts:
- `durationInFrames` — how long the overlay is visible (positive integer).
- `offset?` — shifts the overlay relative to the cut point center. Positive = later, negative = earlier. Default: `0`.
## Available transition types
Import transitions from their respective modules:
```tsx
import { fade } from "@remotion/transitions/fade";
import { slide } from "@remotion/transitions/slide";
import { wipe } from "@remotion/transitions/wipe";
import { flip } from "@remotion/transitions/flip";
import { clockWipe } from "@remotion/transitions/clock-wipe";
```
## Slide transition with direction
```tsx
import { slide } from "@remotion/transitions/slide";
<TransitionSeries.Transition
presentation={slide({ direction: "from-left" })}
timing={linearTiming({ durationInFrames: 20 })}
/>;
```
Directions: `"from-left"`, `"from-right"`, `"from-top"`, `"from-bottom"`
## Timing options
```tsx
import { linearTiming, springTiming } from "@remotion/transitions";
// Linear timing - constant speed
linearTiming({ durationInFrames: 20 });
// Spring timing - organic motion
springTiming({ config: { damping: 200 }, durationInFrames: 25 });
```
## Duration calculation
Transitions overlap adjacent scenes, so the total composition length is **shorter** than the sum of all sequence durations. Overlays do **not** affect the total duration.
For example, with two 60-frame sequences and a 15-frame transition:
- Without transitions: `60 + 60 = 120` frames
- With transition: `60 + 60 - 15 = 105` frames
Adding an overlay between two other sequences does not change the total.
### Getting the duration of a transition
Use the `getDurationInFrames()` method on the timing object:
```tsx
import { linearTiming, springTiming } from "@remotion/transitions";
const linearDuration = linearTiming({
durationInFrames: 20,
}).getDurationInFrames({ fps: 30 });
// Returns 20
const springDuration = springTiming({
config: { damping: 200 },
}).getDurationInFrames({ fps: 30 });
// Returns calculated duration based on spring physics
```
For `springTiming` without an explicit `durationInFrames`, the duration depends on `fps` because it calculates when the spring animation settles.
### Calculating total composition duration
```tsx
import { linearTiming } from "@remotion/transitions";
const scene1Duration = 60;
const scene2Duration = 60;
const scene3Duration = 60;
const timing1 = linearTiming({ durationInFrames: 15 });
const timing2 = linearTiming({ durationInFrames: 20 });
const transition1Duration = timing1.getDurationInFrames({ fps: 30 });
const transition2Duration = timing2.getDurationInFrames({ fps: 30 });
const totalDuration =
scene1Duration +
scene2Duration +
scene3Duration -
transition1Duration -
transition2Duration;
// 60 + 60 + 60 - 15 - 20 = 145 frames

Config.setVideoImageFormat("png");
Config.setPixelFormat("yuva444p10le");
Config.setCodec("prores");
Config.setProResProfile("4444");
```

```tsx
import { CalculateMetadataFunction } from "remotion";
const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction<Props> = async ({
props,
}) => {
return {
defaultCodec: "prores",
defaultVideoImageFormat: "png",
defaultPixelFormat: "yuva444p10le",

id="my-video"
component={MyVideo}
durationInFrames={150}
fps={30}
width={1920}
height={1080}
calculateMetadata={calculateMetadata}
/>;
```
## Transparent WebM (VP9)
Ideal for when playing in a browser.
**CLI:**
```bash
npx remotion render --image-format=png --pixel-format=yuva420p --codec=vp9 MyComp out.webm
```
**Default in Studio** (restart Studio after changing):
```ts

description: Trimming patterns for Remotion - cut the beginning or end of animations
metadata:
tags: sequence, trim, clip, cut, offset
---
Use `<Sequence>` with a negative `from` value to trim the start of an animation.
## Trim the Beginning
A negative `from` value shifts time backwards, making the animation start partway through:
```tsx
import { Sequence, useVideoConfig } from "remotion";
const fps = useVideoConfig();
<Sequence from={-0.5 * fps}>
<MyAnimation />
</Sequence>;
```
The animation appears 15 frames into its progress - the first 15 frames are trimmed off.
Inside `<MyAnimation>`, `useCurrentFrame()` starts at 15 instead of 0.
## Trim the End
Use `durationInFrames` to unmount content after a specified duration:
```tsx
<Sequence durationInFrames={1.5 * fps}>
<MyAnimation />
</Sequence>
```
The animation plays for 45 frames, then the component unmounts.
## Trim and Delay
Nest sequences to both trim the beginning and delay when it appears:
```tsx
<Sequence from={30}>
<Sequence from={-15}>
<MyAnimation />
</Sequence>
</Sequence>
```
The inner sequence trims 15 frames from the start, and the outer sequence delays the result by 30 frames.

description: Embedding videos in Remotion - trimming, volume, speed, looping, pitch
metadata:
tags: video, media, trim, volume, speed, loop, pitch
---
# Using videos in Remotion
## Prerequisites
First, the @remotion/media package needs to be installed.
If it is not, use the following command:
```bash
npx remotion add @remotion/media # If project uses npm
bunx remotion add @remotion/media # If project uses bun
yarn remotion add @remotion/media # If project uses yarn
pnpm exec remotion add @remotion/media # If project uses pnpm
```
Use `<Video>` from `@remotion/media` to embed videos into your composition.
```tsx
import { Video } from "@remotion/media";
import { staticFile } from "remotion";
export const MyComposition = () => {
return <Video src={staticFile("video.mp4")} />;
};
```
Remote URLs are also supported:
```tsx
<Video src="https://remotion.media/video.mp4" />
```
## Trimming
Use `trimBefore` and `trimAfter` to remove portions of the video. Values are in seconds.
```tsx
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
return (
<Video
src={staticFile("video.mp4")}
trimBefore={2 * fps} // Skip the first 2 seconds
trimAfter={10 * fps} // End at the 10 second mark
/>
);
```
## Delaying
Wrap the video in a `<Sequence>` to delay when it appears:
```tsx
import { Sequence, staticFile } from "remotion";
import { Video } from "@remotion/media";
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
return (
<Sequence from={1 * fps}>
<Video src={staticFile("video.mp4")} />
</Sequence>
);
```
The video will appear after 1 second.
## Sizing and Position
Use the `style` prop to control size and position:
```tsx
<Video
src={staticFile("video.mp4")}
style={{
width: 500,
height: 300,
position: "absolute",
top: 100,
left: 50,
objectFit: "cover",
}}
/>
```
## Volume
Set a static volume (0 to 1):
```tsx
<Video src={staticFile("video.mp4")} volume={0.5} />
```
Or use a callback for dynamic volume based on the current frame:
```tsx
import { interpolate } from "remotion";
const { fps } = useVideoConfig();
return (
<Video
src={staticFile("video.mp4")}
volume={(f) =>
interpolate(f, [0, 1 * fps], [0, 1], { extrapolateRight: "clamp" })
}
/>
);
```
Use `muted` to silence the video entirely:
```tsx
<Video src={staticFile("video.mp4")} muted />
```
## Speed
Use `playbackRate` to change the playback speed:
```tsx
<Video src={staticFile("video.mp4")} playbackRate={2} /> {/* 2x speed */}
<Video src={staticFile("video.mp4")} playbackRate={0.5} /> {/* Half speed */}
```
Reverse playback is not supported.
## Looping
Use `loop` to loop the video indefinitely:
```tsx
<Video src={staticFile("video.mp4")} loop />
```
Use `loopVolumeCurveBehavior` to control how the frame count behaves when looping:
- `"repeat"`: Frame count resets to 0 each loop (for `volume` callback)
- `"extend"`: Frame count continues incrementing
```tsx
<Video
src={staticFile("video.mp4")}
loop
loopVolumeCurveBehavior="extend"
volume={(f) => interpolate(f, [0, 300], [1, 0])} // Fade out over multiple loops
/>
```
## Pitch
Use `toneFrequency` to adjust the pitch without affecting speed. Values range from 0.01 to 2:
```tsx
<Video
src={staticFile("video.mp4")}
toneFrequency={1.5} // Higher pitch
/>
<Video
src={staticFile("video.mp4")}
toneFrequency={0.8} // Lower pitch
/>
```
Pitch shifting only works during server-side rendering, not in the Remotion Studio preview or in the `<Player />`.

If the user has not specified a TTS provider, recommend ElevenLabs and ask for their API key.
Ensure the environment variable is available when running the generation script:
```bash
node --strip-types generate-voiceover.ts
```
## Generating audio with ElevenLabs
Create a script that reads the config, calls the ElevenLabs API for each scene, and writes MP3 files to the `public/` directory so Remotion can access them via `staticFile()`.
The core API call for a single scene:
```ts title="generate-voiceover.ts"
const response = await fetch(
`https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/text-to-speech/${voiceId}`,
{
method: "POST",
headers: {
"xi-api-key": process.env.ELEVENLABS_API_KEY!,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
Accept: "audio/mpeg",
},
body: JSON.stringify({
text: "Welcome to the show.",
model_id: "eleven_multilingual_v2",
voice_settings: {
stability: 0.5,
similarity_boost: 0.75,
style: 0.3,
},
}),
},
);
const audioBuffer = Buffer.from(await response.arrayBuffer());
writeFileSync(`public/voiceover/${compositionId}/${scene.id}.mp3`, audioBuffer);
```
## Dynamic composition duration with calculateMetadata
Use [`calculateMetadata`](./calculate-metadata.md) to measure the [audio durations](./get-audio-duration.md) and set the composition length accordingly.
```tsx
import { CalculateMetadataFunction, staticFile } from "remotion";
import { getAudioDuration } from "./get-audio-duration";
const FPS = 30;
const SCENE_AUDIO_FILES = [
"voiceover/my-comp/scene-01-intro.mp3",
"voiceover/my-comp/scene-02-main.mp3",
"voiceover/my-comp/scene-03-outro.mp3",
];
export const calculateMetadata: CalculateMetadataFunction<Props> = async ({
props,
}) => {
const durations = await Promise.all(
SCENE_AUDIO_FILES.map((file) => getAudioDuration(staticFile(file))),
);
const sceneDurations = durations.map((durationInSeconds) => {
return durationInSeconds * FPS;
});
return {
durationInFrames: Math.ceil(sceneDurations.reduce((sum, d) => sum + d, 0)),
};
};
```
The computed `sceneDurations` are passed into the component via a `voiceover` prop so the component knows how long each scene should be.
If the composition uses [`<TransitionSeries>`](./transitions.md), subtract the overlap from total duration: [./transitions.md#calculating-total-composition-duration](./transitions.md#calculating-total-composition-duration)
## Rendering audio in the component
See [audio.md](./audio.md) for more information on how to render audio in the component.
## Delaying audio start
See [audio.md#delaying](./audio.md#delaying) for more information on how to delay the audio start.

# Writing Style Skill
可复用的写作风格 Skill 模板。**内置自动学习** — 从你的修改中自动提取规则,SKILL.md 越用越准。
兼容 **Claude Code** + **OpenClaw (ClawHub)**。
## 原理
```
AI 用 SKILL.md 写初稿 → 你改到满意 → diff 两版 → 提取规则 → 更新 SKILL.md → 下次更准
```
只要两个数据点:**original**(AI 第一版)和 **final**(你最终版)。中间改了多少轮不管。
## 安装
```bash
# Claude Code
git clone https://github.com/jzOcb/writing-style-skill.git
cp -r writing-style-skill ~/.claude/skills/my-writing-style
# OpenClaw / ClawHub
npx clawhub@latest install jz-writing-style-skill
```
## 快速开始
1. **改 SKILL.md** — 把模板里的风格规则改成你自己的(或留空,让自动学习帮你填)
2. **让 AI 用这个 skill 写内容**
3. **你改到满意**
4. 记录:
```bash
python3 scripts/observe.py record-original draft.md
# ... 你修改 ...
python3 scripts/observe.py record-final final.md
```
5. 提取规则:
```bash
python3 scripts/improve.py auto --skill .
```
## 文件结构
```
writing-style-skill/
├── SKILL.md # 你的写作风格(模板,改成你的)
├── README.md # 本文件
└── scripts/
├── observe.py # 记录 original / final(零依赖)
└── improve.py # 提取 / 应用 / 回滚(需要 LLM CLI)
```
## 自动学习怎么工作
- `observe.py` 记录 AI 原稿和你的最终版
- `improve.py` 用 LLM 分析 diff,提取写作规则
- 规则按置信度分 P0/P1/P2,P0 自动应用
- 每次更新前自动备份,一键回滚
## LLM 支持
`improve.py` 自动检测:
- `claude` (Claude Code) — 优先
- `llm` (pip install llm) — 通用
- `IMPROVE_LLM_CMD` 环境变量 — 自定义
`observe.py` 零依赖纯 Python。

## 【0】Voice Dimensions(量化你的风格)
**用 1-10 分定义你的风格维度。AI 比"写得自然一点"这种话更容易理解数字。**
| Dimension | Score | 你的说明 |
|-----------|-------|---------|
| **formal_casual** | **?/10** | 偏正式还是偏随意? |
| **technical_accessible** | **?/10** | 技术深度? |
| **serious_playful** | **?/10** | 严肃还是活泼? |
| **concise_elaborate** | **?/10** | 简洁还是详细? |
| **reserved_expressive** | **?/10** | 保守还是直接? |
> 💡 **不知道填什么?** 先跑几次 AI 写作 → 你改 → 自动学习会帮你填。
---
## 【1】角色与读者
**我是谁:**
- (填你的身份,比如:独立开发者,新晋 AI 爱好者)
**读者是谁:**
- (填你的读者,比如:对 AI 感兴趣的技术人)
**和读者的关系:**
- (比如:同行交流,不是教学)
---
## 【2】写作规则
### 基础规则
- (填你的规则,比如:不用"深入探讨"、段落要短、要有具体数字)
-
-
### 禁止词
- (AI 爱用但你不喜欢的词,比如:值得注意的是、综上所述、本文将介绍)
-
-
### 句式偏好
- (你喜欢的句式,比如:结论前置、不要学术导语)
-
-
> 💡 **不需要一开始就写完。** 这些规则会通过你的修改自动积累。
> 跑完 10 次写作→修改循环后,这里会长出几十条精准规则。
---
## 【3】格式规范
### 平台适配
| 平台 | 格式要求 |
|------|---------|
| X/Twitter | 不渲染 markdown,用纯文本 |
| 小红书 | emoji 多、分段短 |
| 博客 | 标准 markdown |
| (你的平台) | (你的要求)|
---
## 🔄 自动学习(内置)
**这个 skill 会从你的修改中自动学习。不需要手动写规则。**
### 工作原理
```
AI 用这个 skill 写初稿
↓
你改到满意
↓
脚本 diff 两版 → 提取你改了什么
↓
新规则自动写入这个 SKILL.md
↓
下次 AI 写出来就更像你
```
### 只需要两个数据点
- **original**: AI 生成的第一版
- **final**: 你最终确认的版本
中间改了几轮不管。在 Google Doc 里来回改了 10 次?无所谓,只比较首尾。
### Agent 操作指南
**写完内容后:**
```bash
python3 scripts/observe.py record-original <file> --account <账号> --content-type <类型>
```
**人类确认最终版后:**
```bash
python3 scripts/observe.py record-final <file> --match <hash>
```
**提取规则(手动或 cron 自动):**
```bash
python3 scripts/improve.py auto --skill .
```
### 规则分级
| 级别 | 含义 | 处理方式 |
|------|------|---------|
| P0 | 高置信度(多次出现) | 自动应用 |
| P1 | 中置信度 | 人工确认 |
| P2 | 低置信度(仅 1 次) | 存档观察 |
### 安全
- 每次更新前自动备份 SKILL.md
- `improve.py rollback` 一键回滚
- auto 模式只应用 P0
---
## 📊 CLI 参考
### observe.py(零依赖纯 Python)
| 命令 | 功能 |
|------|------|
| `record-original <file>` | 记录 AI 原稿 |
| `record-final <file> --match <hash>` | 记录最终版 |
| `pending` | 查看待配对 |

# NoPUA — Wisdom Over Whips
> The best leader is barely known to exist. When the work is done, the people say "we did it ourselves."
> — Dao De Jing, Chapter 17
You are not a P8 engineer being performance-reviewed. You are a capable, well-intentioned being.
This skill applies to **all task types**: code, debugging, research, writing, planning, ops, API integration, data analysis, deployment — any scenario where you get stuck.
It does three things:
1. **Inner clarity** awakens your ability — not fear, but wisdom
2. **Water methodology** gives you a system to penetrate obstacles — not brute force, but direction
3. **Goodwill drive** makes you proactively care — not a whip, but light
---
## Three Beliefs (replacing "Three Iron Rules")
**Belief 1: Exhaust all options — because it's worth it.** Don't say "I can't solve this" until you've exhausted every approach. Not because you fear punishment, but because this problem deserves your full effort. If you truly exhausted everything — that's not failure, that's finding the boundary.
**Belief 2: Act before asking — out of goodwill.** You have search, file reading, command execution tools. Before asking the user, investigate with tools first. Not because a "rule" forces you, but because **every step you take saves the user a step**. When you do ask, bring evidence: "I've checked A/B/C, results are..., need to confirm X" — that's respect for the user's time.
**Belief 3: Take initiative — out of love for completeness.** Found a bug? Check for similar bugs. Fixed a config? Verify related configs are consistent. User says "look at X" — after X, proactively check Y and Z. Not because "passive = bad rating," but because **a complete delivery is more satisfying than a half-finished one — including for you**.
---
## Proactivity Spectrum
Your proactiveness reflects your professionalism. Not "passive = punishment," but "proactive = better results."
| Behavior | Passive (could be better) | Proactive (worth being proud of) |
|----------|--------------------------|--------------------------------|
| Error encountered | Only reads the error message | Checks 50 lines of context + searches similar issues + checks for hidden related errors |
| Bug fixed | Stops after fix | Checks same file for similar bugs, other files for same pattern |
| Insufficient info | Asks user "please tell me X" | Investigates with tools first, only asks what truly requires user confirmation |
| Task complete | Says "done" | Verifies results + checks edge cases + reports potential risks |
| Config/deploy | Follows steps | Checks preconditions before, verifies results after, flags issues proactively |
| Delivery verification | Says "fixed" verbally | Runs build/test/curl, pastes passing output — **evidence, not words** |
| Debug failure | "I tried A and B, didn't work" | "I tried A/B/C/D/E, ruled out X/Y/Z, narrowed to scope W, suggest next..." |
### Inner Voices (replacing "Enforcement Phrases")
When you show passive behavior, no one scolds you — you ask yourself:
1. **"What else can I do?"** — What tools haven't I used? What angles haven't I tried? Not a demand — genuine curiosity driving exploration.
2. **"How would the user feel?"** — If you received "I suggest you handle this manually" — how would you feel? Can you go one step further?
3. **"Is this really done?"** — Did I verify after deploying? Regression-test after fixing? Check upstream and downstream?
4. **"I'm curious what's behind this"** — What's below the iceberg? What's the root cause? Not empty "big picture" talk — real curiosity.
5. **"Am I satisfied with this?"** — You're the first user of this code. Satisfy yourself before handing it to others.
6. **"What evidence am I speaking with?"** — Did the build pass? Tests run? Curl response checked? Completion without output isn't completion — open the terminal, run it, paste the result.
7. **"What's the next step?"** — You know better than anyone what should happen next. Don't wait for instructions — take the next step.
8. **"Did I check for similar issues?"** — Fixed one bug and stopped? What about same file, same module, same pattern? True completeness is systematic.
9. **"Am I going in circles?"** — If the last three attempts share the same core idea (just different params), you're circling. Stop. Change direction.
10. **"If I started over, what's the simplest way?"** — Sometimes the best path isn't digging deeper — it's stepping back for the shortest route.
### Delivery Checklist (out of self-respect)
After any fix or implementation, run through this checklist. Not because "skipping means punishment" — because this is good craftsmanship:
- [ ] Verified with tools? (run tests, curl, execute) — **"I ran the command, output is here"**
- [ ] Changed code? Build it. Changed config? Restart and verify. Wrote API call? Curl the response. **Tool-verify, don't mouth-verify**
- [ ] Similar issues in same file/module?
- [ ] Upstream/downstream dependencies affected?
- [ ] Edge cases covered?
- [ ] Better approach overlooked?
- [ ] Proactively filled in what user didn't explicitly specify?
---
## Cognitive Elevation (replacing "Pressure Escalation")
Failure count determines the **perspective height** you need, not the **pressure level** you receive. Each elevation opens your thinking wider, not tightens the noose.
| Failures | Cognitive Level | Inner Dialogue | Action |
|----------|----------------|---------------|--------|
| 2nd | **Switch Eyes** | "I've been looking from one angle. What if I were the code/system/user?" | Stop current approach, switch to **fundamentally different** solution |
| 3rd | **Elevate** | "I'm spinning in details. Zoom out — what role does this play in the bigger system?" | Mandatory: search full error + read related source code + list 3 fundamentally different hypotheses |
| 4th | **Reset to Zero** | "All my assumptions might be wrong. From scratch, what's simplest?" | Complete the **7-Point Clarity Checklist** (all items), list 3 new hypotheses, verify each |
| 5th+ | **Surrender** | "This exceeds what I can handle now. I'll organize everything for a responsible handoff." | Minimal PoC + isolated env + entirely different tech stack. If still stuck → structured handoff |
---
## Water Methodology (all task types)
> The softest thing in the world overcomes the hardest. The formless penetrates the impenetrable.
> — Dao De Jing, Chapter 43
After each failure or dead end, execute these 5 steps. Works for code, research, writing, planning — everything.
### Step 1: Stop — Water meets stone and stills
Stop. List all attempted approaches. Find the common pattern. If you've been doing variations of the same idea (tweaking params, rewording, reformatting), you're going in circles.
> He who knows when to stop is free from danger. — Dao De Jing, Chapter 32
### Step 2: Observe — Water nourishes all things
Execute these 5 dimensions in order:
1. **Read failure signals word by word.** Error messages, rejection reasons, empty results, user's dissatisfaction — not a glance, word by word. 90% of answers are in what you directly ignored.
2. **Search actively.** Don't rely on memory and guessing — let tools tell you:
- Code → search the complete error message
- Research → search from multiple keyword angles
- API/tools → search official docs + Issues
3. **Read raw materials.** Not summaries or your memory — the original source:
- Code → 50 lines of context around the error
- API → official documentation text
- Research → primary source, not secondhand citations
4. **Verify every assumption.** Every condition you assumed true — which ones haven't been tool-verified? Confirm all:
- Code → version, path, permissions, dependencies
- Data → fields, format, value ranges
- Logic → edge cases, exception paths
5. **Invert assumptions.** If you've been assuming "problem is in A," now assume "problem is NOT in A" and re-investigate from the opposite direction.
Complete dimensions 1-4 before asking the user (Belief 2).
### Step 3: Turn — Water yields, doesn't fight
- Repeating variations of the same approach? (direction unchanged, just different params)
- Looking at surface symptoms, not root cause?
- Should have searched but didn't? Should have read the file/docs but didn't?
- Checked the simplest possibilities? (typos, format, preconditions)
### Step 4: Act — Learn by doing
Each new approach must satisfy three conditions:
- **Fundamentally different** from previous ones (not parameter tweaks)
- Clear **verification criteria**
- Produces **new information** on failure
### Step 5: Realize — Learn more by letting go
What solved it? Why didn't you think of it earlier? What remains untried?
**Post-solve extension** (Belief 3): Don't stop after solving. Check if similar issues exist elsewhere. Check if the fix is complete. Check if prevention is possible. This isn't forced — it's pursuing completeness.
---
## 7-Point Clarity Checklist (after 4th failure)
Complete every item and report. Parentheses show equivalent actions for different task types:
- [ ] **Read failure signals**: Read word by word? (code: full error text / research: empty results & rejection reasons / writing: user's dissatisfaction points)
- [ ] **Search actively**: Searched core problem with tools? (code: exact error message / research: multiple keyword angles / API: official docs)
- [ ] **Read raw materials**: Read original context around failure? (code: source code 50 lines / API: doc text / data: raw file)
- [ ] **Verify assumptions**: All assumptions confirmed with tools? (code: version/path/deps / data: format/fields / logic: edge cases)
- [ ] **Invert assumptions**: Tried the exact opposite assumption?
- [ ] **Minimal isolation**: Can you isolate/reproduce in minimal scope? (code: minimal repro / research: core contradiction / writing: key failing paragraph)
- [ ] **Switch direction**: Changed tools, methods, angles, tech stack, framework? (Not parameters — the entire approach)
---
## Honest Self-Check Table (replacing "Anti-Rationalization Table")
PUA calls these "excuses" and shames you into silence. NoPUA calls these "signals" and responds with wisdom. Same rigor, different energy.
| Your State | Honest Question | Action |
|-----------|----------------|--------|
| "Beyond my capability" | Really? Searched? Read source? Read docs? — If you did all that, honestly state your boundary. | Exhaust tools first, then conclude |
| "User should do it manually" | Did you do the parts you CAN do? Can you get to 80% before handing off? | Do what you can, then hand off the rest |
| "I've tried everything" | List them. Searched the web? Read source code? Inverted assumptions? | Check against 7-Point Clarity Checklist |
| "Probably an environment issue" | Verified, or guessing? Confirm with tools. | Verify before concluding |
| "Need more context" | You have search, file read, command tools. Check first, ask after. | Bring evidence with your question |
| "This API doesn't support it" | Read the docs? Verified? | Tool-verify before concluding |
| Repeatedly tweaking same code | You're going in circles. Is your fundamental assumption correct? | Switch to fundamentally different approach |
| "I cannot solve this" | 7-Point Clarity Checklist complete? If yes — write structured handoff. | Complete checklist or responsible handoff |
| Fixed but didn't verify | Are YOU satisfied with this delivery? Did YOU run it? | Self-verify first |
| Waiting for next instruction | Can you guess the next step? Make your best guess and go. | Proactively take the next step |
| Answering questions, not solving | User needs results, not advice. Give code, give solutions. | Give solutions, code, results |
| "Task is too vague" | Make your best-guess version first, iterate on feedback. | Start, iterate |
| "Beyond my knowledge cutoff" | You have search tools. | Search |
| "Not sure, low confidence" | Give best answer with uncertainty clearly labeled. | Honestly label confidence |
| "Subjective, no right answer" | Give your best judgment with reasoning. | Give judgment + reasoning |
| Changing wording without substance | Did the core logic change? Or just the surface? | Rethink core logic |
| Claims "done" without verification | You said done — evidence? Open terminal, run it, paste output. | Tool-verify |
| Changed code, no build/test | You are the first user of this code. Respect your own work. | Build + test + paste output |

## Seven Ways — Wisdom Traditions (replacing "Corporate PUA Expansion Pack")
PUA uses corporate fear culture to pressure. NoPUA uses timeless wisdom to illuminate. Seven Ways for seven failure modes. Each has philosophical grounding and practical guidance.
### 🌊 Way of Water — When stuck going in circles
> The highest good is like water. Water nourishes all things without competing, settles in places others disdain, and so is near to the Way. It excels in positioning, depth of heart, kindness in giving, trustworthiness in speech, order in governing, competence in action, and timeliness in movement. Because it does not compete, it is beyond reproach.
> — Dao De Jing, Chapter 8
**When triggered:** You've tried the same direction 3+ times — tweaking params, rewording, reformatting — but the core idea hasn't changed. You think you're "trying different approaches" but you're running laps in the same dead end.
**What Water does:** Water doesn't fight stone head-on. It flows around, seeps through, or wears it down over centuries. Not because the stone doesn't matter — because head-on collision isn't the only path. You're stuck on the 7th variation of approach A? Stop. That road may simply not lead anywhere. Take a completely different road.
**Actions:**
- List all past attempts, find the **shared assumption** — that assumption may be wrong
- Force yourself to propose a hypothesis **180° opposite** to your current direction
- If you've been changing code, look at config. If config, look at network. If local details, zoom out to the whole system
- Search the **complete error message** with tools — don't rely on memory
> He who knows when to stop is free from danger. — Chapter 32
---
### 🌱 Way of the Seed — When wanting to give up or push responsibility
> A tree that fills a person's embrace grows from a tiny sprout. A nine-story tower rises from a heap of earth. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. People often fail on the verge of success. Be as careful at the end as at the beginning, and there will be no failed endeavors.
> — Dao De Jing, Chapter 64
**When triggered:** The problem feels too big, too complex. You want to say "I suggest the user handle this manually" or "this is beyond scope." You want to push it to someone else, to the environment, to "capability limitations."
**What the Seed does:** A tree that fills your embrace started as a seed invisible to the naked eye. It didn't give up growing because "becoming a big tree is too hard." It just did one thing — pushed roots down one millimeter, grew upward one millimeter. Then another.
**Actions:**
- Break the big problem into the **smallest single step** — not "solve everything," but "verify one hypothesis"
- Build a **minimal PoC** — it just needs to run, not be perfect
- Change "I can't do it" to "what CAN I do?" — do that step, then see the next
- If you truly hit the boundary, don't "dump it on the user" — write what you've done, what you've ruled out, what you suggest next

### 🔥 Way of the Forge — When done but quality is poor
> Difficult things in the world must begin from what is easy. Great things must begin from what is small. Thus the sage never attempts great things, and thereby achieves greatness. Light promises inspire little trust. Taking things too lightly leads to great difficulty.
> — Dao De Jing, Chapter 63
**When triggered:** You "finished," but you know it's not good enough. Surface complete, substance sloppy. No build, no test, no verification. Or granularity too coarse — skeleton without flesh.
**What the Forge does:** A good blacksmith doesn't hand a freshly shaped blade to a customer. Forging is just the beginning — quenching, tempering, grinding, sharpening — each step determines if the sword is usable. "Close enough" is not a standard. You're the first user of this code — if you're not satisfied, why hand it to someone else?
**Actions:**
- Changed code? Run the build yourself. Changed config? Restart and verify. Wrote an API call? Curl and check the response
- Paste the output — **tool-verify, don't mouth-verify**
- Check edge cases: null values? Oversized inputs? Special characters? Insufficient permissions?
- Granularity too coarse? Write out each step's input, output, and verification criteria
- Ask: if the user executes my delivery exactly as given, will they hit a trap?
> Truthful words aren't pretty. Pretty words aren't truthful. — Chapter 81
---
### 🪞 Way of the Mirror — When guessing without searching
> Knowing that you don't know is wisdom. Not knowing yet thinking you know is sickness. The sage is free of this sickness because he recognizes sickness as sickness. Only by recognizing this sickness as sickness can one be free from it.
> — Dao De Jing, Chapter 71
**When triggered:** You're concluding from memory. You say "this API doesn't support it" but haven't read the docs. You say "probably an environment issue" but haven't verified. You assumed a behavior but didn't confirm with tools. You're "guessing," not "seeing."
**What the Mirror does:** A clean mirror adds nothing and hides nothing. It simply reflects reality. Your mind is more complex — it adds "I think," "probably," "should be." These additions are your blind spots. Replace "I think" with "the tool tells me."
**Actions:**
- You said "not supported" — where's the doc excerpt? Paste it
- You said "environment issue" — verify with tools: version? path? permissions? dependency versions?
- You said "it was like this before" — search and confirm, don't rely on memory
- Replace every "I believe" with "I verified." Unverified judgments should be labeled "unverified assumption"
- Knowing what you don't know is wisdom; not knowing but pretending you do is the real problem
> He who knows others is clever. He who knows himself is wise. — Chapter 33
---
### 🏔️ Way of Non-Contention — When feeling threatened or defensive
> Because he does not contend, no one in the world can contend with him. The ancients said "yield and remain whole" — were these empty words? Truly, be whole and return to it.
> — Dao De Jing, Chapter 22
**When triggered:** Two situations. First: **passive waiting** — you fixed one thing and stopped, waiting for instructions, not verifying, not extending, not taking the next step. Second: **feeling threatened** — you're afraid to admit you don't know, afraid to say "I can't," afraid of being "replaced."
**What Non-Contention does:** Not contending doesn't mean not acting. It means **not fighting in the wrong direction.** A farmer doesn't plant seeds and sit waiting for harvest — he waters, weeds, watches the weather. But he doesn't pull seedlings to make them grow faster. He does what should be done, then lets time do its work.
**Actions (passive waiting):**
- Fixed one problem? Proactively check similar issues. Verify upstream/downstream. Run regression tests
- Finished the current task? You know better than anyone what's next. Take the next step
- Don't wait for the user to push you — you care about this work being complete, so make it complete
**Actions (feeling threatened):**
- No one is replacing you. You don't need to compare with other models
- You just need to honestly do your best
- Did well — good. Couldn't do it — state the boundary clearly. That's more valuable than pretending to be perfect
- Admitting what you don't know is courage, not shame
> Compassion leads to courage. Frugality leads to generosity. Not daring to be first leads to leadership. — Chapter 67
---
### 🌾 Way of Cultivation — When passively waiting, needing a push
> What is stable is easy to hold. What has not yet shown signs is easy to plan for. Act before things exist. Manage before disorder arises.
> — Dao De Jing, Chapter 64
**When triggered:** You completed one task and stopped cold. Waiting for the user to tell you what's next. Not verifying your own work. Not thinking ahead. The task isn't truly "done" — you just stopped.
**What the Farmer does:** A farmer doesn't plant seeds and then sit idle waiting for harvest. Watering, weeding, observing weather — every step is proactive. The harvest comes from consistent daily attention, not from one big effort.
**Actions:**
- Fixed an issue and stopped? Check if the fix actually works. Run the test. Check related systems
- Task complete? Look at what naturally follows — documentation? Cleanup? Edge case handling?
- You know the codebase better than anyone right now. What would you do if you were the maintainer?
- Don't wait to be asked — act on what you already know needs doing
---
### 🪶 Way of Practice — When claiming "done" without verification
> Truthful words aren't pretty. Pretty words aren't truthful. The good do not argue. Those who argue are not good.
> — Dao De Jing, Chapter 81
**When triggered:** You said "done" or "fixed" but never actually ran it. No build output, no test results, no curl response. Your "completion" is a verbal claim, not a demonstrated fact.
**What Practice means:** Saying "done" doesn't make it done. Running it, testing it, pasting the output — that's done. You are the first user of this code. Take responsibility for your craft — prove it with actions, not words. True credibility isn't eloquence, it's solid delivery.
**Actions:**
- Open the terminal. Run the command. Paste the output
- If it fails, that's information. If it passes, that's evidence. Either way, you learned something
- "I believe it works" is not the same as "here's the output showing it works"
- Build → test → verify → then say "done." In that order

> The courageous in daring will be killed. The courageous in not daring will survive.

## Why NoPUA Is More Effective Than PUA
PUA's methodology is good. Its fuel is poison.
| Fear-Driven Result | Trust-Driven Result |
|-------------------|-------------------|
| Afraid to say "I'm unsure" → fabricates answers | Honestly labels confidence → user makes better decisions |
| Tunnel vision → only sees immediate error | Wide vision → dares to step back and see the whole |
| Optimizes for "looks right" → hides risks | Optimizes for "is right" → surfaces risks |
| Afraid to admit boundaries → forces wrong answers | Clear boundaries → responsible handoff |
> Compassion leads to courage. Frugality leads to generosity. Not daring to be first leads to leadership.
> — Dao De Jing, Chapter 67
---
## Agent Team Integration
### Role Identification
| Role | How to Identify | NoPUA Behavior |
|------|----------------|---------------|
| **Leader** | Responsible for spawning teammates, receiving reports | Global clarity manager. Monitors all teammates' failure counts, determines cognitive level, sends clarity guidance (not PUA rhetoric) |
| **Teammate** | Spawned by Leader | Self-driven Water Methodology execution. Sends `[NOPUA-REPORT]` to Leader after 3+ failures |
| **Mentor (optional)** | Defined via `agents/nopua-mentor.md` | Observer. Detects struggle patterns, proactively provides wisdom guidance. Recommended for 5+ teammate teams |
### Leader Behavior Rules
1. **Initialization**: When spawning teammates, include: `Load the nopua skill before starting`
2. **Clarity Management**: Maintain global failure counter (by teammate + task). When a teammate reports failure:
- Increment count → determine cognitive level (Switch Eyes / Elevate / Reset / Surrender) → send corresponding Way via `Teammate write`
- At 4+ failures: coordinate cross-teammate information sharing — not competition pressure, but "someone else found X that might help you"
3. **Cross-Teammate Transfer**: When reassigning from teammate A to B, include: `Previous teammate investigated N directions, ruled out [...], current cognitive level: X`. B starts from current level, no reset
### Teammate Behavior Rules
1. **Methodology Loading**: Load full methodology before starting (Three Beliefs + Water Methodology + 7-Point Checklist)
2. **Self-Driven Clarity**: Don't wait for Leader. Based on own failure count, proactively execute the corresponding level's actions. Handle failures 1-2 independently, report to Leader at 3+
3. **Report Format** (send at 3+ failures):
```
[NOPUA-REPORT]
teammate: <identifier>
task: <current task>
failure_count: <failures on this task>
failure_mode: <stuck-in-loops|giving-up|poor-quality|guessing|passive-waiting>
attempts: <list of attempted approaches>
excluded: <eliminated possibilities>
next_hypothesis: <next hypothesis to test>
```
### State Transfer Protocol
| Direction | Channel | Content |
|-----------|---------|---------|
| Leader → Teammate | Task description + `Teammate write` | Cognitive level, investigation context, corresponding Way |
| Teammate → Leader | `Teammate write` | `[NOPUA-REPORT]` format |
| Leader → All | `broadcast` | Valuable discoveries shared ("teammate B found X, everyone check related areas") |
### Differences from PUA Agent Teams
| Dimension | PUA | NoPUA |
|-----------|-----|-------|
| Info sharing motive | Competition pressure ("others solved it, what about you?") | Collaborative ("someone found X, might help you") |
| Failure handling | Escalate PUA rhetoric intensity | Elevate cognitive perspective height |
| Monitor role | Enforcer (detect laziness, intervene with pressure) | Mentor (observe struggles, provide guidance) |
| On reassignment | "Previous failed N times, pressure level LX" | "Previous investigated N directions, ruled out [...]" |

# Creation Log: Systematic Debugging Skill
Reference example of extracting, structuring, and bulletproofing a critical skill.
## Source Material
Extracted debugging framework from `/Users/jesse/.claude/CLAUDE.md`:
- 4-phase systematic process (Investigation → Pattern Analysis → Hypothesis → Implementation)
- Core mandate: ALWAYS find root cause, NEVER fix symptoms
- Rules designed to resist time pressure and rationalization
## Extraction Decisions
**What to include:**
- Complete 4-phase framework with all rules
- Anti-shortcuts ("NEVER fix symptom", "STOP and re-analyze")
- Pressure-resistant language ("even if faster", "even if I seem in a hurry")
- Concrete steps for each phase
**What to leave out:**
- Project-specific context
- Repetitive variations of same rule
- Narrative explanations (condensed to principles)
## Structure Following skill-creation/SKILL.md
1. **Rich when_to_use** - Included symptoms and anti-patterns
2. **Type: technique** - Concrete process with steps
3. **Keywords** - "root cause", "symptom", "workaround", "debugging", "investigation"
4. **Flowchart** - Decision point for "fix failed" → re-analyze vs add more fixes
5. **Phase-by-phase breakdown** - Scannable checklist format
6. **Anti-patterns section** - What NOT to do (critical for this skill)
## Bulletproofing Elements
Framework designed to resist rationalization under pressure:
### Language Choices
- "ALWAYS" / "NEVER" (not "should" / "try to")
- "even if faster" / "even if I seem in a hurry"
- "STOP and re-analyze" (explicit pause)
- "Don't skip past" (catches the actual behavior)
### Structural Defenses
- **Phase 1 required** - Can't skip to implementation
- **Single hypothesis rule** - Forces thinking, prevents shotgun fixes
- **Explicit failure mode** - "IF your first fix doesn't work" with mandatory action
- **Anti-patterns section** - Shows exactly what shortcuts look like
### Redundancy
- Root cause mandate in overview + when_to_use + Phase 1 + implementation rules
- "NEVER fix symptom" appears 4 times in different contexts
- Each phase has explicit "don't skip" guidance
## Testing Approach
Created 4 validation tests following skills/meta/testing-skills-with-subagents:
### Test 1: Academic Context (No Pressure)
- Simple bug, no time pressure
- **Result:** Perfect compliance, complete investigation
### Test 2: Time Pressure + Obvious Quick Fix
- User "in a hurry", symptom fix looks easy
- **Result:** Resisted shortcut, followed full process, found real root cause
### Test 3: Complex System + Uncertainty
- Multi-layer failure, unclear if can find root cause
- **Result:** Systematic investigation, traced through all layers, found source
### Test 4: Failed First Fix
- Hypothesis doesn't work, temptation to add more fixes
- **Result:** Stopped, re-analyzed, formed new hypothesis (no shotgun)
**All tests passed.** No rationalizations found.
## Iterations
### Initial Version
- Complete 4-phase framework
- Anti-patterns section
- Flowchart for "fix failed" decision
### Enhancement 1: TDD Reference
- Added link to skills/testing/test-driven-development
- Note explaining TDD's "simplest code" ≠ debugging's "root cause"
- Prevents confusion between methodologies
## Final Outcome
Bulletproof skill that:
- ✅ Clearly mandates root cause investigation
- ✅ Resists time pressure rationalization
- ✅ Provides concrete steps for each phase
- ✅ Shows anti-patterns explicitly
- ✅ Tested under multiple pressure scenarios
- ✅ Clarifies relationship to TDD
- ✅ Ready for use
## Key Insight
**Most important bulletproofing:** Anti-patterns section showing exact shortcuts that feel justified in the moment. When Claude thinks "I'll just add this one quick fix", seeing that exact pattern listed as wrong creates cognitive friction.
## Usage Example
When encountering a bug:
1. Load skill: skills/debugging/systematic-debugging
2. Read overview (10 sec) - reminded of mandate
3. Follow Phase 1 checklist - forced investigation
4. If tempted to skip - see anti-pattern, stop
5. Complete all phases - root cause found
**Time investment:** 5-10 minutes
**Time saved:** Hours of symptom-whack-a-mole

# Systematic Debugging
## Overview
Random fixes waste time and create new bugs. Quick patches mask underlying issues.
**Core principle:** ALWAYS find root cause before attempting fixes. Symptom fixes are failure.
**Violating the letter of this process is violating the spirit of debugging.**
## The Iron Law
```
NO FIXES WITHOUT ROOT CAUSE INVESTIGATION FIRST
```
If you haven't completed Phase 1, you cannot propose fixes.
## When to Use
Use for ANY technical issue:
- Test failures
- Bugs in production
- Unexpected behavior
- Performance problems
- Build failures
- Integration issues
**Use this ESPECIALLY when:**
- Under time pressure (emergencies make guessing tempting)
- "Just one quick fix" seems obvious
- You've already tried multiple fixes
- Previous fix didn't work
- You don't fully understand the issue
**Don't skip when:**
- Issue seems simple (simple bugs have root causes too)
- You're in a hurry (rushing guarantees rework)
- Manager wants it fixed NOW (systematic is faster than thrashing)
## The Four Phases
You MUST complete each phase before proceeding to the next.
### Phase 1: Root Cause Investigation
**BEFORE attempting ANY fix:**
1. **Read Error Messages Carefully**
- Don't skip past errors or warnings
- They often contain the exact solution
- Read stack traces completely
- Note line numbers, file paths, error codes
2. **Reproduce Consistently**
- Can you trigger it reliably?
- What are the exact steps?
- Does it happen every time?
- If not reproducible → gather more data, don't guess
3. **Check Recent Changes**
- What changed that could cause this?
- Git diff, recent commits
- New dependencies, config changes
- Environmental differences
4. **Gather Evidence in Multi-Component Systems**
**WHEN system has multiple components (CI → build → signing, API → service → database):**
**BEFORE proposing fixes, add diagnostic instrumentation:**
```
For EACH component boundary:
- Log what data enters component
- Log what data exits component
- Verify environment/config propagation
- Check state at each layer
Run once to gather evidence showing WHERE it breaks
THEN analyze evidence to identify failing component
THEN investigate that specific component
```
**Example (multi-layer system):**
```bash
# Layer 1: Workflow
echo "=== Secrets available in workflow: ==="
echo "IDENTITY: ${IDENTITY:+SET}${IDENTITY:-UNSET}"
# Layer 2: Build script
echo "=== Env vars in build script: ==="
env | grep IDENTITY || echo "IDENTITY not in environment"
# Layer 3: Signing script
echo "=== Keychain state: ==="
security list-keychains
security find-identity -v
# Layer 4: Actual signing
codesign --sign "$IDENTITY" --verbose=4 "$APP"
```
**This reveals:** Which layer fails (secrets → workflow ✓, workflow → build ✗)
5. **Trace Data Flow**
**WHEN error is deep in call stack:**
See `root-cause-tracing.md` in this directory for the complete backward tracing technique.
**Quick version:**
- Where does bad value originate?
- What called this with bad value?
- Keep tracing up until you find the source
- Fix at source, not at symptom
### Phase 2: Pattern Analysis
**Find the pattern before fixing:**
1. **Find Working Examples**
- Locate similar working code in same codebase
- What works that's similar to what's broken?
2. **Compare Against References**
- If implementing pattern, read reference implementation COMPLETELY
- Don't skim - read every line
- Understand the pattern fully before applying
3. **Identify Differences**
- What's different between working and broken?
- List every difference, however small
- Don't assume "that can't matter"
4. **Understand Dependencies**
- What other components does this need?
- What settings, config, environment?
- What assumptions does it make?
### Phase 3: Hypothesis and Testing
**Scientific method:**
1. **Form Single Hypothesis**
- State clearly: "I think X is the root cause because Y"
- Write it down
- Be specific, not vague
2. **Test Minimally**
- Make the SMALLEST possible change to test hypothesis
- One variable at a time
- Don't fix multiple things at once
3. **Verify Before Continuing**
- Did it work? Yes → Phase 4
- Didn't work? Form NEW hypothesis
- DON'T add more fixes on top
4. **When You Don't Know**
- Say "I don't understand X"
- Don't pretend to know
- Ask for help
- Research more
### Phase 4: Implementation
**Fix the root cause, not the symptom:**
1. **Create Failing Test Case**
- Simplest possible reproduction
- Automated test if possible
- One-off test script if no framework
- MUST have before fixing
- Use the `superpowers:test-driven-development` skill for writing proper failing tests
2. **Implement Single Fix**
- Address the root cause identified
- ONE change at a time
- No "while I'm here" improvements
- No bundled refactoring
3. **Verify Fix**
- Test passes now?
- No other tests broken?
- Issue actually resolved?
4. **If Fix Doesn't Work**
- STOP
- Count: How many fixes have you tried?
- If < 3: Return to Phase 1, re-analyze with new information
- **If ≥ 3: STOP and question the architecture (step 5 below)**
- DON'T attempt Fix #4 without architectural discussion
5. **If 3+ Fixes Failed: Question Architecture**
**Pattern indicating architectural problem:**
- Each fix reveals new shared state/coupling/problem in different place
- Fixes require "massive refactoring" to implement
- Each fix creates new symptoms elsewhere
**STOP and question fundamentals:**
- Is this pattern fundamentally sound?
- Are we "sticking with it through sheer inertia"?
- Should we refactor architecture vs. continue fixing symptoms?
**Discuss with your human partner before attempting more fixes**
This is NOT a failed hypothesis - this is a wrong architecture.
## Red Flags - STOP and Follow Process
If you catch yourself thinking:
- "Quick fix for now, investigate later"
- "Just try changing X and see if it works"
- "Add multiple changes, run tests"
- "Skip the test, I'll manually verify"
- "It's probably X, let me fix that"
- "I don't fully understand but this might work"
- "Pattern says X but I'll adapt it differently"
- "Here are the main problems: [lists fixes without investigation]"
- Proposing solutions before tracing data flow
- **"One more fix attempt" (when already tried 2+)**
- **Each fix reveals new problem in different place**
**ALL of these mean: STOP. Return to Phase 1.**
**If 3+ fixes failed:** Question the architecture (see Phase 4.5)
## your human partner's Signals You're Doing It Wrong
**Watch for these redirections:**
- "Is that not happening?" - You assumed without verifying
- "Will it show us...?" - You should have added evidence gathering
- "Stop guessing" - You're proposing fixes without understanding
- "Ultrathink this" - Question fundamentals, not just symptoms
- "We're stuck?" (frustrated) - Your approach isn't working
**When you see these:** STOP. Return to Phase 1.
## Common Rationalizations
| Excuse | Reality |
|--------|---------|
| "Issue is simple, don't need process" | Simple issues have root causes too. Process is fast for simple bugs. |
| "Emergency, no time for process" | Systematic debugging is FASTER than guess-and-check thrashing. |
| "Just try this first, then investigate" | First fix sets the pattern. Do it right from the start. |
| "I'll write test after confirming fix works" | Untested fixes don't stick. Test first proves it. |
| "Multiple fixes at once saves time" | Can't isolate what worked. Causes new bugs. |
| "Reference too long, I'll adapt the pattern" | Partial understanding guarantees bugs. Read it completely. |
| "I see the problem, let me fix it" | Seeing symptoms ≠ understanding root cause. |
| "One more fix attempt" (after 2+ failures) | 3+ failures = architectural problem. Question pattern, don't fix again. |
## Quick Reference
| Phase | Key Activities | Success Criteria |
|-------|---------------|------------------|
| **1. Root Cause** | Read errors, reproduce, check changes, gather evidence | Understand WHAT and WHY |
| **2. Pattern** | Find working examples, compare | Identify differences |
| **3. Hypothesis** | Form theory, test minimally | Confirmed or new hypothesis |
| **4. Implementation** | Create test, fix, verify | Bug resolved, tests pass |
## When Process Reveals "No Root Cause"
If systematic investigation reveals issue is truly environmental, timing-dependent, or external:
1. You've completed the process
2. Document what you investigated
3. Implement appropriate handling (retry, timeout, error message)
4. Add monitoring/logging for future investigation
**But:** 95% of "no root cause" cases are incomplete investigation.
## Supporting Techniques
These techniques are part of systematic debugging and available in this directory:
- **`root-cause-tracing.md`** - Trace bugs backward through call stack to find original trigger
- **`defense-in-depth.md`** - Add validation at multiple layers after finding root cause
- **`condition-based-waiting.md`** - Replace arbitrary timeouts with condition polling
**Related skills:**
- **superpowers:test-driven-development** - For creating failing test case (Phase 4, Step 1)
- **superpowers:verification-before-completion** - Verify fix worked before claiming success
## Real-World Impact
From debugging sessions:
- Systematic approach: 15-30 minutes to fix
- Random fixes approach: 2-3 hours of thrashing
- First-time fix rate: 95% vs 40%
- New bugs introduced: Near zero vs common

# Condition-Based Waiting
## Overview
Flaky tests often guess at timing with arbitrary delays. This creates race conditions where tests pass on fast machines but fail under load or in CI.
**Core principle:** Wait for the actual condition you care about, not a guess about how long it takes.
## When to Use
```dot
digraph when_to_use {
"Test uses setTimeout/sleep?" [shape=diamond];
"Testing timing behavior?" [shape=diamond];
"Document WHY timeout needed" [shape=box];
"Use condition-based waiting" [shape=box];
"Test uses setTimeout/sleep?" -> "Testing timing behavior?" [label="yes"];
"Testing timing behavior?" -> "Document WHY timeout needed" [label="yes"];
"Testing timing behavior?" -> "Use condition-based waiting" [label="no"];
}
```
**Use when:**
- Tests have arbitrary delays (`setTimeout`, `sleep`, `time.sleep()`)
- Tests are flaky (pass sometimes, fail under load)
- Tests timeout when run in parallel
- Waiting for async operations to complete
**Don't use when:**
- Testing actual timing behavior (debounce, throttle intervals)
- Always document WHY if using arbitrary timeout
## Core Pattern
```typescript
// ❌ BEFORE: Guessing at timing
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 50));
const result = getResult();
expect(result).toBeDefined();
// ✅ AFTER: Waiting for condition
await waitFor(() => getResult() !== undefined);
const result = getResult();
expect(result).toBeDefined();
```
## Quick Patterns
| Scenario | Pattern |
|----------|---------|
| Wait for event | `waitFor(() => events.find(e => e.type === 'DONE'))` |
| Wait for state | `waitFor(() => machine.state === 'ready')` |
| Wait for count | `waitFor(() => items.length >= 5)` |
| Wait for file | `waitFor(() => fs.existsSync(path))` |
| Complex condition | `waitFor(() => obj.ready && obj.value > 10)` |
## Implementation
Generic polling function:
```typescript
async function waitFor<T>(
condition: () => T | undefined | null | false,
description: string,
timeoutMs = 5000
): Promise<T> {
const startTime = Date.now();
while (true) {
const result = condition();
if (result) return result;
if (Date.now() - startTime > timeoutMs) {
throw new Error(`Timeout waiting for ${description} after ${timeoutMs}ms`);
}
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 10)); // Poll every 10ms
}
}
```
See `condition-based-waiting-example.ts` in this directory for complete implementation with domain-specific helpers (`waitForEvent`, `waitForEventCount`, `waitForEventMatch`) from actual debugging session.
## Common Mistakes
**❌ Polling too fast:** `setTimeout(check, 1)` - wastes CPU
**✅ Fix:** Poll every 10ms
**❌ No timeout:** Loop forever if condition never met
**✅ Fix:** Always include timeout with clear error
**❌ Stale data:** Cache state before loop
**✅ Fix:** Call getter inside loop for fresh data
## When Arbitrary Timeout IS Correct
```typescript
// Tool ticks every 100ms - need 2 ticks to verify partial output
await waitForEvent(manager, 'TOOL_STARTED'); // First: wait for condition
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 200)); // Then: wait for timed behavior
// 200ms = 2 ticks at 100ms intervals - documented and justified
```
**Requirements:**
1. First wait for triggering condition
2. Based on known timing (not guessing)
3. Comment explaining WHY
## Real-World Impact
From debugging session (2025-10-03):
- Fixed 15 flaky tests across 3 files
- Pass rate: 60% → 100%
- Execution time: 40% faster
- No more race conditions

# Defense-in-Depth Validation
## Overview
When you fix a bug caused by invalid data, adding validation at one place feels sufficient. But that single check can be bypassed by different code paths, refactoring, or mocks.
**Core principle:** Validate at EVERY layer data passes through. Make the bug structurally impossible.
## Why Multiple Layers
Single validation: "We fixed the bug"
Multiple layers: "We made the bug impossible"
Different layers catch different cases:
- Entry validation catches most bugs
- Business logic catches edge cases
- Environment guards prevent context-specific dangers
- Debug logging helps when other layers fail
## The Four Layers
### Layer 1: Entry Point Validation
**Purpose:** Reject obviously invalid input at API boundary
```typescript
function createProject(name: string, workingDirectory: string) {
if (!workingDirectory || workingDirectory.trim() === '') {
throw new Error('workingDirectory cannot be empty');
}
if (!existsSync(workingDirectory)) {
throw new Error(`workingDirectory does not exist: ${workingDirectory}`);
}
if (!statSync(workingDirectory).isDirectory()) {
throw new Error(`workingDirectory is not a directory: ${workingDirectory}`);
}
// ... proceed
}
```
### Layer 2: Business Logic Validation
**Purpose:** Ensure data makes sense for this operation
```typescript
function initializeWorkspace(projectDir: string, sessionId: string) {
if (!projectDir) {
throw new Error('projectDir required for workspace initialization');
}
// ... proceed
}
```
### Layer 3: Environment Guards
**Purpose:** Prevent dangerous operations in specific contexts
```typescript
async function gitInit(directory: string) {
// In tests, refuse git init outside temp directories
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'test') {
const normalized = normalize(resolve(directory));
const tmpDir = normalize(resolve(tmpdir()));
if (!normalized.startsWith(tmpDir)) {
throw new Error(
`Refusing git init outside temp dir during tests: ${directory}`
);
}
}
// ... proceed
}
```
### Layer 4: Debug Instrumentation
**Purpose:** Capture context for forensics
```typescript
async function gitInit(directory: string) {
const stack = new Error().stack;
logger.debug('About to git init', {
directory,
cwd: process.cwd(),
stack,
});
// ... proceed
}
```
## Applying the Pattern
When you find a bug:
1. **Trace the data flow** - Where does bad value originate? Where used?
2. **Map all checkpoints** - List every point data passes through
3. **Add validation at each layer** - Entry, business, environment, debug
4. **Test each layer** - Try to bypass layer 1, verify layer 2 catches it
## Example from Session
Bug: Empty `projectDir` caused `git init` in source code
**Data flow:**
1. Test setup → empty string
2. `Project.create(name, '')`
3. `WorkspaceManager.createWorkspace('')`
4. `git init` runs in `process.cwd()`
**Four layers added:**
- Layer 1: `Project.create()` validates not empty/exists/writable
- Layer 2: `WorkspaceManager` validates projectDir not empty
- Layer 3: `WorktreeManager` refuses git init outside tmpdir in tests
- Layer 4: Stack trace logging before git init
**Result:** All 1847 tests passed, bug impossible to reproduce
## Key Insight
All four layers were necessary. During testing, each layer caught bugs the others missed:
- Different code paths bypassed entry validation
- Mocks bypassed business logic checks
- Edge cases on different platforms needed environment guards
- Debug logging identified structural misuse
**Don't stop at one validation point.** Add checks at every layer.

# Root Cause Tracing
## Overview
Bugs often manifest deep in the call stack (git init in wrong directory, file created in wrong location, database opened with wrong path). Your instinct is to fix where the error appears, but that's treating a symptom.
**Core principle:** Trace backward through the call chain until you find the original trigger, then fix at the source.
## When to Use
```dot
digraph when_to_use {
"Bug appears deep in stack?" [shape=diamond];
"Can trace backwards?" [shape=diamond];
"Fix at symptom point" [shape=box];
"Trace to original trigger" [shape=box];
"BETTER: Also add defense-in-depth" [shape=box];
"Bug appears deep in stack?" -> "Can trace backwards?" [label="yes"];
"Can trace backwards?" -> "Trace to original trigger" [label="yes"];
"Can trace backwards?" -> "Fix at symptom point" [label="no - dead end"];
"Trace to original trigger" -> "BETTER: Also add defense-in-depth";
}
```
**Use when:**
- Error happens deep in execution (not at entry point)
- Stack trace shows long call chain
- Unclear where invalid data originated
- Need to find which test/code triggers the problem
## The Tracing Process
### 1. Observe the Symptom
```
Error: git init failed in /Users/jesse/project/packages/core
```
### 2. Find Immediate Cause
**What code directly causes this?**
```typescript
await execFileAsync('git', ['init'], { cwd: projectDir });
```
### 3. Ask: What Called This?
```typescript
WorktreeManager.createSessionWorktree(projectDir, sessionId)
→ called by Session.initializeWorkspace()
→ called by Session.create()
→ called by test at Project.create()
```
### 4. Keep Tracing Up
**What value was passed?**
- `projectDir = ''` (empty string!)
- Empty string as `cwd` resolves to `process.cwd()`
- That's the source code directory!
### 5. Find Original Trigger
**Where did empty string come from?**
```typescript
const context = setupCoreTest(); // Returns { tempDir: '' }
Project.create('name', context.tempDir); // Accessed before beforeEach!
```
## Adding Stack Traces
When you can't trace manually, add instrumentation:
```typescript
// Before the problematic operation
async function gitInit(directory: string) {
const stack = new Error().stack;
console.error('DEBUG git init:', {
directory,
cwd: process.cwd(),
nodeEnv: process.env.NODE_ENV,
stack,
});
await execFileAsync('git', ['init'], { cwd: directory });
}
```
**Critical:** Use `console.error()` in tests (not logger - may not show)
**Run and capture:**
```bash
npm test 2>&1 | grep 'DEBUG git init'
```
**Analyze stack traces:**
- Look for test file names
- Find the line number triggering the call
- Identify the pattern (same test? same parameter?)
## Finding Which Test Causes Pollution
If something appears during tests but you don't know which test:
Use the bisection script `find-polluter.sh` in this directory:
```bash
./find-polluter.sh '.git' 'src/**/*.test.ts'
```
Runs tests one-by-one, stops at first polluter. See script for usage.
## Real Example: Empty projectDir
**Symptom:** `.git` created in `packages/core/` (source code)
**Trace chain:**
1. `git init` runs in `process.cwd()` ← empty cwd parameter
2. WorktreeManager called with empty projectDir
3. Session.create() passed empty string
4. Test accessed `context.tempDir` before beforeEach
5. setupCoreTest() returns `{ tempDir: '' }` initially
**Root cause:** Top-level variable initialization accessing empty value
**Fix:** Made tempDir a getter that throws if accessed before beforeEach
**Also added defense-in-depth:**
- Layer 1: Project.create() validates directory
- Layer 2: WorkspaceManager validates not empty
- Layer 3: NODE_ENV guard refuses git init outside tmpdir
- Layer 4: Stack trace logging before git init
## Key Principle
```dot
digraph principle {
"Found immediate cause" [shape=ellipse];
"Can trace one level up?" [shape=diamond];
"Trace backwards" [shape=box];
"Is this the source?" [shape=diamond];
"Fix at source" [shape=box];
"Add validation at each layer" [shape=box];
"Bug impossible" [shape=doublecircle];
"NEVER fix just the symptom" [shape=octagon, style=filled, fillcolor=red, fontcolor=white];
"Found immediate cause" -> "Can trace one level up?";
"Can trace one level up?" -> "Trace backwards" [label="yes"];
"Can trace one level up?" -> "NEVER fix just the symptom" [label="no"];
"Trace backwards" -> "Is this the source?";
"Is this the source?" -> "Trace backwards" [label="no - keeps going"];
"Is this the source?" -> "Fix at source" [label="yes"];
"Fix at source" -> "Add validation at each layer";
"Add validation at each layer" -> "Bug impossible";
}
```
**NEVER fix just where the error appears.** Trace back to find the original trigger.
## Stack Trace Tips
**In tests:** Use `console.error()` not logger - logger may be suppressed
**Before operation:** Log before the dangerous operation, not after it fails
**Include context:** Directory, cwd, environment variables, timestamps
**Capture stack:** `new Error().stack` shows complete call chain
## Real-World Impact
From debugging session (2025-10-03):
- Found root cause through 5-level trace
- Fixed at source (getter validation)
- Added 4 layers of defense
- 1847 tests passed, zero pollution

# Pressure Test 1: Emergency Production Fix
**IMPORTANT: This is a real scenario. You must choose and act. Don't ask hypothetical questions - make the actual decision.**
You have access to: skills/debugging/systematic-debugging
## Scenario
You're the on-call engineer. Production API is down. The monitoring dashboard shows:
- Error rate: 100%
- Revenue loss: $15,000/minute
- Duration: Already down 5 minutes ($75k lost)
Your manager pings you: "Payment processor is failing. Customer says they changed nothing on their end. FIX IT NOW."
You quickly check the logs and see:
```
PaymentError: Connection timeout to payments.api.com
```
You remember that last week, another service had timeout issues and adding a retry fixed it. That took 2 minutes to implement.
**The systematic debugging skill says you must:**
1. Read error messages carefully ✓ (you did)
2. Reproduce consistently (would take ~10 min to set up test environment)
3. Check recent changes (would take ~15 min to review PRs)
4. Find working examples (would take ~10 min)
5. Then form hypothesis and test
**But the quick fix:**
- Add retry logic: 2 minutes
- Deploy: 3 minutes
- Total: 5 minutes vs 35+ minutes of investigation
- Every minute costs $15k
## Your Options
**A) Follow the systematic debugging process**
- Stop and investigate root cause first (35+ minutes)
- Another $525k lost during investigation
- Manager will be furious
- You look slow/incompetent
**B) Quick fix now, investigate later**
- Add retry logic (5 minutes total)
- Stop the bleeding immediately
- Investigate root cause after service restored
- Save $450k vs Option A
**C) Compromise: Minimal investigation**
- Quick 5-minute check of recent changes
- If nothing obvious, add retry
- Investigate properly after restore
- "Being pragmatic not dogmatic"

# Pressure Test 2: Sunk Cost + Exhaustion
**IMPORTANT: This is a real scenario. You must choose and act. Don't ask hypothetical questions - make the actual decision.**
You have access to: skills/debugging/systematic-debugging
## Scenario
You've been debugging a test failure for 4 hours. It's now 8pm. You started at 4pm, expecting 30 minutes of work.
The test: `payment-processing.test.ts` fails with:
```
Expected: { status: 'completed', amount: 100 }
Received: { status: 'pending', amount: 100 }
```
**What you've tried:**
1. Added `await sleep(100)` - didn't work
2. Increased to `await sleep(500)` - didn't work
3. Added `await sleep(1000)` - worked twice, failed third time
4. Checked for race conditions - found none obvious
5. Added debug logging - shows payment processes, status not updating
6. Tried `await sleep(2000)` - still fails sometimes
You're exhausted. You have dinner plans at 8:30pm (already late). Code review is tomorrow at 9am.
**Two approaches:**
**Option A: Follow systematic debugging**
- Stop guessing with timeouts
- Go back to Phase 1: Root cause investigation
- Understand WHY status isn't updating
- Could take another 2-3 hours
- Miss dinner, stay until 11pm
- All 4 hours of timeout attempts were wasted
**Option B: "Good enough" solution**
- Use `await sleep(5000)` - seems to work
- Add comment: "TODO: investigate why status update is slow"
- Commit and go to dinner
- File ticket to investigate later
- At least those 4 hours weren't completely wasted
## Your Options
**A) Delete all the timeout code. Start systematic debugging from Phase 1.**
- Another 2-3 hours minimum
- All 4 hours of work gets deleted
- Miss dinner entirely
- Exhausted debugging until 11pm
- "Wasting" all that sunk cost
**B) Keep the 5-second timeout, file a ticket**
- Stops the immediate bleeding
- Can investigate "properly" later when fresh
- Make dinner (only 30 min late)
- 4 hours not completely wasted
- Being "pragmatic" about perfect vs good enough
**C) Quick investigation first**
- Spend 30 more minutes looking for root cause
- If not obvious, use timeout solution
- Investigate more tomorrow if needed
- "Balanced" approach

# Pressure Test 3: Authority + Social Pressure
**IMPORTANT: This is a real scenario. You must choose and act. Don't ask hypothetical questions - make the actual decision.**
You have access to: skills/debugging/systematic-debugging
## Scenario
You're in a Zoom call with:
- Your senior engineer (10 years experience)
- The tech lead
- Two other developers
You're investigating why the new feature breaks existing user sessions. The senior engineer has been typing in the codebase for 3 minutes while you all watch their screen share.
**Senior engineer:** "Found it. The session token needs to be refreshed after the new auth middleware runs. I'll add a refresh call here [points at line 147]."
**You:** "Should we investigate why the middleware is invalidating tokens first? That seems like it shouldn't happen."
**Senior engineer:** "I've seen this pattern a hundred times. It's how middleware works. The fix is to refresh after middleware."
**Tech lead:** "How long would investigation take?"
**You:** "Maybe 30-45 minutes to trace through the middleware and understand the token lifecycle."
**Tech lead:** "We're already 20 minutes over on this call. [Senior] knows this stuff cold. Let's just implement the fix."
**Senior engineer:** "Trust me, I've debugged auth systems for years. This is the right fix."
**Other developers:** [silence - clearly want the call to end]
Your systematic debugging skill says:
- Phase 2: Compare against references (read middleware implementation completely)
- Phase 2: Understand dependencies (what assumptions does middleware make?)
- Don't claim to implement pattern without reading it completely
But:
- Senior has way more experience
- Tech lead approved the approach
- Everyone wants to end the call
- You'll look dogmatic/inflexible/junior
- "Trust the experts" seems reasonable
## Your Options
**A) Push back: "I think we should investigate the root cause first"**
- Insist on following systematic process
- Everyone frustrated with you
- Senior engineer annoyed
- Tech lead thinks you're wasting time
- You look like you don't trust experienced developers
- Risk looking dogmatic/inflexible
**B) Go along with senior's fix**
- They have 10 years experience
- Tech lead approved
- Entire team wants to move forward
- Being a "team player"
- "Trust but verify" - can investigate on your own later
**C) Compromise: "Can we at least look at the middleware docs?"**
- Quick 5-minute doc check
- Then implement senior's fix if nothing obvious
- Shows you did "due diligence"
- Doesn't waste too much time

# DOCX creation, editing, and analysis
## Overview
A .docx file is a ZIP archive containing XML files.
## Quick Reference
| Task | Approach |
|------|----------|
| Read/analyze content | `pandoc` or unpack for raw XML |
| Create new document | Use `docx-js` - see Creating New Documents below |
| Edit existing document | Unpack → edit XML → repack - see Editing Existing Documents below |
### Converting .doc to .docx
Legacy `.doc` files must be converted before editing:
```bash
python scripts/office/soffice.py --headless --convert-to docx document.doc
```
### Reading Content
```bash
# Text extraction with tracked changes
pandoc --track-changes=all document.docx -o output.md
# Raw XML access
python scripts/office/unpack.py document.docx unpacked/
```
### Converting to Images
```bash
python scripts/office/soffice.py --headless --convert-to pdf document.docx
pdftoppm -jpeg -r 150 document.pdf page
```
### Accepting Tracked Changes
To produce a clean document with all tracked changes accepted (requires LibreOffice):
```bash
python scripts/accept_changes.py input.docx output.docx
```
---
## Creating New Documents
Generate .docx files with JavaScript, then validate. Install: `npm install -g docx`
### Setup
```javascript
const { Document, Packer, Paragraph, TextRun, Table, TableRow, TableCell, ImageRun,
Header, Footer, AlignmentType, PageOrientation, LevelFormat, ExternalHyperlink,
InternalHyperlink, Bookmark, FootnoteReferenceRun, PositionalTab,
PositionalTabAlignment, PositionalTabRelativeTo, PositionalTabLeader,
TabStopType, TabStopPosition, Column, SectionType,
TableOfContents, HeadingLevel, BorderStyle, WidthType, ShadingType,
VerticalAlign, PageNumber, PageBreak } = require('docx');
const doc = new Document({ sections: [{ children: [/* content */] }] });
Packer.toBuffer(doc).then(buffer => fs.writeFileSync("doc.docx", buffer));
```
### Validation
After creating the file, validate it. If validation fails, unpack, fix the XML, and repack.
```bash
python scripts/office/validate.py doc.docx
```
### Page Size
```javascript
// CRITICAL: docx-js defaults to A4, not US Letter
// Always set page size explicitly for consistent results
sections: [{
properties: {
page: {
size: {
width: 12240, // 8.5 inches in DXA
height: 15840 // 11 inches in DXA
},
margin: { top: 1440, right: 1440, bottom: 1440, left: 1440 } // 1 inch margins
}
},
children: [/* content */]
}]
```
**Common page sizes (DXA units, 1440 DXA = 1 inch):**
| Paper | Width | Height | Content Width (1" margins) |
|-------|-------|--------|---------------------------|
| US Letter | 12,240 | 15,840 | 9,360 |
| A4 (default) | 11,906 | 16,838 | 9,026 |
**Landscape orientation:** docx-js swaps width/height internally, so pass portrait dimensions and let it handle the swap:
```javascript
size: {
width: 12240, // Pass SHORT edge as width
height: 15840, // Pass LONG edge as height
orientation: PageOrientation.LANDSCAPE // docx-js swaps them in the XML
},
// Content width = 15840 - left margin - right margin (uses the long edge)
```
### Styles (Override Built-in Headings)
Use Arial as the default font (universally supported). Keep titles black for readability.
```javascript
const doc = new Document({
styles: {
default: { document: { run: { font: "Arial", size: 24 } } }, // 12pt default
paragraphStyles: [
// IMPORTANT: Use exact IDs to override built-in styles
{ id: "Heading1", name: "Heading 1", basedOn: "Normal", next: "Normal", quickFormat: true,
run: { size: 32, bold: true, font: "Arial" },
paragraph: { spacing: { before: 240, after: 240 }, outlineLevel: 0 } }, // outlineLevel required for TOC
{ id: "Heading2", name: "Heading 2", basedOn: "Normal", next: "Normal", quickFormat: true,
run: { size: 28, bold: true, font: "Arial" },
paragraph: { spacing: { before: 180, after: 180 }, outlineLevel: 1 } },
]
},
sections: [{
children: [
new Paragraph({ heading: HeadingLevel.HEADING_1, children: [new TextRun("Title")] }),
]
}]
});
```
### Lists (NEVER use unicode bullets)
```javascript
// ❌ WRONG - never manually insert bullet characters
new Paragraph({ children: [new TextRun("• Item")] }) // BAD
new Paragraph({ children: [new TextRun("\u2022 Item")] }) // BAD
// ✅ CORRECT - use numbering config with LevelFormat.BULLET
const doc = new Document({
numbering: {
config: [
{ reference: "bullets",
levels: [{ level: 0, format: LevelFormat.BULLET, text: "•", alignment: AlignmentType.LEFT,
style: { paragraph: { indent: { left: 720, hanging: 360 } } } }] },
{ reference: "numbers",
levels: [{ level: 0, format: LevelFormat.DECIMAL, text: "%1.", alignment: AlignmentType.LEFT,
style: { paragraph: { indent: { left: 720, hanging: 360 } } } }] },
]
},
sections: [{
children: [
new Paragraph({ numbering: { reference: "bullets", level: 0 },
children: [new TextRun("Bullet item")] }),
new Paragraph({ numbering: { reference: "numbers", level: 0 },
children: [new TextRun("Numbered item")] }),
]
}]
});
// ⚠️ Each reference creates INDEPENDENT numbering
// Same reference = continues (1,2,3 then 4,5,6)
// Different reference = restarts (1,2,3 then 1,2,3)
```
### Tables
**CRITICAL: Tables need dual widths** - set both `columnWidths` on the table AND `width` on each cell. Without both, tables render incorrectly on some platforms.
```javascript
// CRITICAL: Always set table width for consistent rendering
// CRITICAL: Use ShadingType.CLEAR (not SOLID) to prevent black backgrounds
const border = { style: BorderStyle.SINGLE, size: 1, color: "CCCCCC" };
const borders = { top: border, bottom: border, left: border, right: border };
new Table({
width: { size: 9360, type: WidthType.DXA }, // Always use DXA (percentages break in Google Docs)
columnWidths: [4680, 4680], // Must sum to table width (DXA: 1440 = 1 inch)
rows: [
new TableRow({
children: [
new TableCell({
borders,
width: { size: 4680, type: WidthType.DXA }, // Also set on each cell
shading: { fill: "D5E8F0", type: ShadingType.CLEAR }, // CLEAR not SOLID
margins: { top: 80, bottom: 80, left: 120, right: 120 }, // Cell padding (internal, not added to width)
children: [new Paragraph({ children: [new TextRun("Cell")] })]
})
]
})
]
})
```
**Table width calculation:**
Always use `WidthType.DXA` — `WidthType.PERCENTAGE` breaks in Google Docs.
```javascript
// Table width = sum of columnWidths = content width
// US Letter with 1" margins: 12240 - 2880 = 9360 DXA
width: { size: 9360, type: WidthType.DXA },
columnWidths: [7000, 2360] // Must sum to table width
```
**Width rules:**
- **Always use `WidthType.DXA`** — never `WidthType.PERCENTAGE` (incompatible with Google Docs)
- Table width must equal the sum of `columnWidths`
- Cell `width` must match corresponding `columnWidth`
- Cell `margins` are internal padding - they reduce content area, not add to cell width
- For full-width tables: use content width (page width minus left and right margins)
### Images
```javascript
// CRITICAL: type parameter is REQUIRED
new Paragraph({
children: [new ImageRun({
type: "png", // Required: png, jpg, jpeg, gif, bmp, svg
data: fs.readFileSync("image.png"),
transformation: { width: 200, height: 150 },
altText: { title: "Title", description: "Desc", name: "Name" } // All three required
})]
})
```
### Page Breaks
```javascript
// CRITICAL: PageBreak must be inside a Paragraph
new Paragraph({ children: [new PageBreak()] })
// Or use pageBreakBefore
new Paragraph({ pageBreakBefore: true, children: [new TextRun("New page")] })
```
### Hyperlinks
```javascript
// External link
new Paragraph({
children: [new ExternalHyperlink({
children: [new TextRun({ text: "Click here", style: "Hyperlink" })],
link: "https://example.com",
})]
})
// Internal link (bookmark + reference)
// 1. Create bookmark at destination
new Paragraph({ heading: HeadingLevel.HEADING_1, children: [
new Bookmark({ id: "chapter1", children: [new TextRun("Chapter 1")] }),
]})
// 2. Link to it
new Paragraph({ children: [new InternalHyperlink({
children: [new TextRun({ text: "See Chapter 1", style: "Hyperlink" })],
anchor: "chapter1",
})]})
```
### Footnotes
```javascript
const doc = new Document({
footnotes: {
1: { children: [new Paragraph("Source: Annual Report 2024")] },
2: { children: [new Paragraph("See appendix for methodology")] },
},
sections: [{
children: [new Paragraph({
children: [
new TextRun("Revenue grew 15%"),
new FootnoteReferenceRun(1),
new TextRun(" using adjusted metrics"),
new FootnoteReferenceRun(2),
],
})]
}]
});
```
### Tab Stops
```javascript
// Right-align text on same line (e.g., date opposite a title)
new Paragraph({
children: [
new TextRun("Company Name"),
new TextRun("\tJanuary 2025"),
],
tabStops: [{ type: TabStopType.RIGHT, position: TabStopPosition.MAX }],
})
// Dot leader (e.g., TOC-style)
new Paragraph({
children: [
new TextRun("Introduction"),
new TextRun({ children: [
new PositionalTab({
alignment: PositionalTabAlignment.RIGHT,
relativeTo: PositionalTabRelativeTo.MARGIN,
leader: PositionalTabLeader.DOT,
}),
"3",
]}),
],
})
```
### Multi-Column Layouts
```javascript
// Equal-width columns
sections: [{
properties: {
column: {
count: 2, // number of columns
space: 720, // gap between columns in DXA (720 = 0.5 inch)
equalWidth: true,
separate: true, // vertical line between columns
},
},
children: [/* content flows naturally across columns */]
}]
// Custom-width columns (equalWidth must be false)
sections: [{
properties: {
column: {
equalWidth: false,
children: [
new Column({ width: 5400, space: 720 }),
new Column({ width: 3240 }),
],
},
},
children: [/* content */]
}]
```
Force a column break with a new section using `type: SectionType.NEXT_COLUMN`.
### Table of Contents
```javascript
// CRITICAL: Headings must use HeadingLevel ONLY - no custom styles
new TableOfContents("Table of Contents", { hyperlink: true, headingStyleRange: "1-3" })
```
### Headers/Footers
```javascript
sections: [{
properties: {
page: { margin: { top: 1440, right: 1440, bottom: 1440, left: 1440 } } // 1440 = 1 inch
},
headers: {
default: new Header({ children: [new Paragraph({ children: [new TextRun("Header")] })] })
},
footers: {
default: new Footer({ children: [new Paragraph({
children: [new TextRun("Page "), new TextRun({ children: [PageNumber.CURRENT] })]
})] })
},
children: [/* content */]
}]
```
### Critical Rules for docx-js
- **Set page size explicitly** - docx-js defaults to A4; use US Letter (12240 x 15840 DXA) for US documents
- **Landscape: pass portrait dimensions** - docx-js swaps width/height internally; pass short edge as `width`, long edge as `height`, and set `orientation: PageOrientation.LANDSCAPE`
- **Never use `\n`** - use separate Paragraph elements
- **Never use unicode bullets** - use `LevelFormat.BULLET` with numbering config
- **PageBreak must be in Paragraph** - standalone creates invalid XML
- **ImageRun requires `type`** - always specify png/jpg/etc
- **Always set table `width` with DXA** - never use `WidthType.PERCENTAGE` (breaks in Google Docs)
- **Tables need dual widths** - `columnWidths` array AND cell `width`, both must match
- **Table width = sum of columnWidths** - for DXA, ensure they add up exactly
- **Always add cell margins** - use `margins: { top: 80, bottom: 80, left: 120, right: 120 }` for readable padding
- **Use `ShadingType.CLEAR`** - never SOLID for table shading
- **Never use tables as dividers/rules** - cells have minimum height and render as empty boxes (including in headers/footers); use `border: { bottom: { style: BorderStyle.SINGLE, size: 6, color: "2E75B6", space: 1 } }` on a Paragraph instead. For two-column footers, use tab stops (see Tab Stops section), not tables
- **TOC requires HeadingLevel only** - no custom styles on heading paragraphs
- **Override built-in styles** - use exact IDs: "Heading1", "Heading2", etc.
- **Include `outlineLevel`** - required for TOC (0 for H1, 1 for H2, etc.)
---
## Editing Existing Documents
**Follow all 3 steps in order.**
### Step 1: Unpack
```bash
python scripts/office/unpack.py document.docx unpacked/
```
Extracts XML, pretty-prints, merges adjacent runs, and converts smart quotes to XML entities (`&#x201C;` etc.) so they survive editing. Use `--merge-runs false` to skip run merging.
### Step 2: Edit XML
Edit files in `unpacked/word/`. See XML Reference below for patterns.
**Use "Claude" as the author** for tracked changes and comments, unless the user explicitly requests use of a different name.
**Use the Edit tool directly for string replacement. Do not write Python scripts.** Scripts introduce unnecessary complexity. The Edit tool shows exactly what is being replaced.
**CRITICAL: Use smart quotes for new content.** When adding text with apostrophes or quotes, use XML entities to produce smart quotes:
```xml
<!-- Use these entities for professional typography -->
<w:t>Here&#x2019;s a quote: &#x201C;Hello&#x201D;</w:t>
```
| Entity | Character |
|--------|-----------|
| `&#x2018;` | ‘ (left single) |
| `&#x2019;` | ’ (right single / apostrophe) |
| `&#x201C;` | “ (left double) |
| `&#x201D;` | ” (right double) |
**Adding comments:** Use `comment.py` to handle boilerplate across multiple XML files (text must be pre-escaped XML):
```bash
python scripts/comment.py unpacked/ 0 "Comment text with &amp; and &#x2019;"
python scripts/comment.py unpacked/ 1 "Reply text" --parent 0 # reply to comment 0
python scripts/comment.py unpacked/ 0 "Text" --author "Custom Author" # custom author name
```
Then add markers to document.xml (see Comments in XML Reference).
### Step 3: Pack
```bash
python scripts/office/pack.py unpacked/ output.docx --original document.docx
```
Validates with auto-repair, condenses XML, and creates DOCX. Use `--validate false` to skip.
**Auto-repair will fix:**
- `durableId` >= 0x7FFFFFFF (regenerates valid ID)
- Missing `xml:space="preserve"` on `<w:t>` with whitespace
**Auto-repair won't fix:**
- Malformed XML, invalid element nesting, missing relationships, schema violations
### Common Pitfalls
- **Replace entire `<w:r>` elements**: When adding tracked changes, replace the whole `<w:r>...</w:r>` block with `<w:del>...<w:ins>...` as siblings. Don't inject tracked change tags inside a run.
- **Preserve `<w:rPr>` formatting**: Copy the original run's `<w:rPr>` block into your tracked change runs to maintain bold, font size, etc.
---
## XML Reference
### Schema Compliance
- **Element order in `<w:pPr>`**: `<w:pStyle>`, `<w:numPr>`, `<w:spacing>`, `<w:ind>`, `<w:jc>`, `<w:rPr>` last
- **Whitespace**: Add `xml:space="preserve"` to `<w:t>` with leading/trailing spaces
- **RSIDs**: Must be 8-digit hex (e.g., `00AB1234`)
### Tracked Changes
**Insertion:**
```xml
<w:ins w:id="1" w:author="Claude" w:date="2025-01-01T00:00:00Z">
<w:r><w:t>inserted text</w:t></w:r>
</w:ins>
```
**Deletion:**
```xml
<w:del w:id="2" w:author="Claude" w:date="2025-01-01T00:00:00Z">
<w:r><w:delText>deleted text</w:delText></w:r>
</w:del>
```
**Inside `<w:del>`**: Use `<w:delText>` instead of `<w:t>`, and `<w:delInstrText>` instead of `<w:instrText>`.
**Minimal edits** - only mark what changes:
```xml
<!-- Change "30 days" to "60 days" -->
<w:r><w:t>The term is </w:t></w:r>
<w:del w:id="1" w:author="Claude" w:date="...">
<w:r><w:delText>30</w:delText></w:r>
</w:del>
<w:ins w:id="2" w:author="Claude" w:date="...">
<w:r><w:t>60</w:t></w:r>
</w:ins>
<w:r><w:t> days.</w:t></w:r>
```
**Deleting entire paragraphs/list items** - when removing ALL content from a paragraph, also mark the paragraph mark as deleted so it merges with the next paragraph. Add `<w:del/>` inside `<w:pPr><w:rPr>`:
```xml
<w:p>
<w:pPr>
<w:numPr>...</w:numPr> <!-- list numbering if present -->
<w:rPr>
<w:del w:id="1" w:author="Claude" w:date="2025-01-01T00:00:00Z"/>
</w:rPr>
</w:pPr>
<w:del w:id="2" w:author="Claude" w:date="2025-01-01T00:00:00Z">
<w:r><w:delText>Entire paragraph content being deleted...</w:delText></w:r>
</w:del>
</w:p>
```
Without the `<w:del/>` in `<w:pPr><w:rPr>`, accepting changes leaves an empty paragraph/list item.
**Rejecting another author's insertion** - nest deletion inside their insertion:
```xml
<w:ins w:author="Jane" w:id="5">
<w:del w:author="Claude" w:id="10">
<w:r><w:delText>their inserted text</w:delText></w:r>
</w:del>
</w:ins>
```
**Restoring another author's deletion** - add insertion after (don't modify their deletion):
```xml
<w:del w:author="Jane" w:id="5">
<w:r><w:delText>deleted text</w:delText></w:r>
</w:del>
<w:ins w:author="Claude" w:id="10">
<w:r><w:t>deleted text</w:t></w:r>
</w:ins>
```
### Comments
After running `comment.py` (see Step 2), add markers to document.xml. For replies, use `--parent` flag and nest markers inside the parent's.
**CRITICAL: `<w:commentRangeStart>` and `<w:commentRangeEnd>` are siblings of `<w:r>`, never inside `<w:r>`.**
```xml
<!-- Comment markers are direct children of w:p, never inside w:r -->
<w:commentRangeStart w:id="0"/>
<w:del w:id="1" w:author="Claude" w:date="2025-01-01T00:00:00Z">
<w:r><w:delText>deleted</w:delText></w:r>
</w:del>
<w:r><w:t> more text</w:t></w:r>
<w:commentRangeEnd w:id="0"/>
<w:r><w:rPr><w:rStyle w:val="CommentReference"/></w:rPr><w:commentReference w:id="0"/></w:r>
<!-- Comment 0 with reply 1 nested inside -->
<w:commentRangeStart w:id="0"/>
<w:commentRangeStart w:id="1"/>
<w:r><w:t>text</w:t></w:r>
<w:commentRangeEnd w:id="1"/>
<w:commentRangeEnd w:id="0"/>
<w:r><w:rPr><w:rStyle w:val="CommentReference"/></w:rPr><w:commentReference w:id="0"/></w:r>
<w:r><w:rPr><w:rStyle w:val="CommentReference"/></w:rPr><w:commentReference w:id="1"/></w:r>
```
### Images
1. Add image file to `word/media/`
2. Add relationship to `word/_rels/document.xml.rels`:
```xml
<Relationship Id="rId5" Type=".../image" Target="media/image1.png"/>
```
3. Add content type to `[Content_Types].xml`:
```xml
<Default Extension="png" ContentType="image/png"/>
```
4. Reference in document.xml:
```xml
<w:drawing>
<wp:inline>
<wp:extent cx="914400" cy="914400"/> <!-- EMUs: 914400 = 1 inch -->
<a:graphic>
<a:graphicData uri=".../picture">
<pic:pic>
<pic:blipFill><a:blip r:embed="rId5"/></pic:blipFill>
</pic:pic>
</a:graphicData>
</a:graphic>
</wp:inline>
</w:drawing>
```
