What does this agent skill do?
Visual Mode is a feature in Remotion Studio that allows one to visually edit Sequences.
I've made the following observations:
Fields
- overrideId -> does keep the identity the same of a sequence, even if the file / line / column changes
- Sequence
stack-> changes on hot reload. shared by multiple sequences which have different overrideIds - Sequence file, line, column (symbolicated stack) -> does not change, but needs to be calculated asyn
nodePath-> same identity, even if line, stack and overrideId changes. async
nodePath + index is ideal way to keep track of the expanded state. that’s the end goal.
Once nodePath is mapped to overrideId, it doesn’t change otherwise component would remount and overrideId works change.
If the same stack is found already used by another sequence, we re-use the overrideId.
nodePath to symbolicated stack could theoretically change on every file change. but multiple sequences can share the same stack and then they all have the same nodePath.
We should only fetch the nodepath for every stack once
different unsymbolicated stacks could lead to the same symbolicated stack, because of fast refresh
unsymbolicated to symbolicated stack does never change because if it does, it is a different stack due to fast refresh
How can the creator link this skill?
Add the canonical catalog link to the repository README so users can inspect current installs and available audits. The publishing guide covers the complete discovery path.
