POPJAM-specific render-breaking mistakes that fail our renderer (tsc, eslint, and Remotion render). Read this BEFORE writing animation source files. First-party supplement to the external remotion-best-practices skill.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Render-breaking pitfalls (read before writing code) > **First-party POPJAM skill.** This is maintained by us and is intentionally > separate from the externally-maintained `remotion-best-practices` skill so our > renderer-specific rules survive upstream syncs. Use it together with > `remotion-best-practices` (general Remotion knowledge) — this skill adds the > mistakes that specifically fail **POPJAM's** pipeline. POPJAM renders every animation through a strict pipeline: **`tsc --noEmit` → `eslint` → Remotion render**. If any stage fails, the whole render fails and the work is wasted. The mistakes below are the ones that actually break renders in production, ordered by how often they happen. Avoid all of them. --- ## 1. Declare or import every identifier (TS2304 "Cannot find name") Every name you reference must be either imported or defined in the same scope. Recurrent offenders: - Remotion helpers used without importing them: `interpolate`, `spring`, `Easing`, `useCurrentFrame`, `useVideoConfig`, `Sequence`, `AbsoluteFill`, `Img`, `staticFile`. - Constants referenced before/without declaration: `colors`, `COLORS`, scene constants like `SCENE_3_WAVEFORM_HEIGHTS`. …

How to install
mdr add popjam-io/skills/remotion-render-pitfalls@sha256:eaeae6e5d01c29f3The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260911.c0e764f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
