Affaan Mustafa df76bdfb51 feat: port remotion-video-creation skill (29 rules), restore missing files
New skill:
- remotion-video-creation: 29 domain-specific Remotion rules covering 3D/Three.js,
  animations, audio, captions, charts, compositions, fonts, GIFs, Lottie,
  measuring, sequencing, tailwind, text animations, timing, transitions,
  trimming, and video embedding. Ported from personal skills.

Restored:
- autonomous-agent-harness/SKILL.md (was in commit but missing from worktree)
- lead-intelligence/ (full directory restored from branch commit)

Updated:
- manifests/install-modules.json: added remotion-video-creation to media-generation
- README.md + AGENTS.md: synced counts to 139 skills

Catalog validates: 30 agents, 60 commands, 139 skills.

# 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,
};
};
```
