issue is an agent skill that formats Remotion GitHub issue titles and teaches safe multiline body handling when using gh.

About

The issue skill is a Remotion-focused agent playbook for opening, updating, and commenting on GitHub issues using the gh CLI and consistent naming. Solo and indie maintainers shipping video tooling in the Remotion monorepo use it to prefix titles by package (`@remotion/lambda`: …) or by surface (Docs:, Studio:, CI:) so triage stays searchable. It encodes title anti-patterns and the critical rule that long bodies must not be inlined in shell arguments, which otherwise corrupts Markdown on GitHub. It does not replace full issue graph management—linking sub-issues and blocking relationships belongs to issue-management. Install it when your agent drafts issues frequently and you want Remotion conventions applied every time without manual copy-paste from CONTRIBUTING docs.

  • Package-prefixed titles like `@remotion/player`: action for scoped changes
  • Broad prefixes: Docs:, Studio:, Build:, CI:, Repo: when impact spans those surfaces
  • Explicit ban on vague titles (Bug, Fix issue) in favor of action-oriented copy
  • Never pass multiline Markdown via shell --body; avoids literal \n on GitHub
  • Defers parent/sub-issue and blocked-by graphs to the separate issue-management skill

What it does

Create or edit Remotion monorepo GitHub issues with correct package-prefixed titles and bodies that survive the gh CLI without mangled newlines.

Who is it for?

Remotion contributors or fork maintainers who automate issue creation with Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex and use GitHub CLI.

Skip if: Skip if you're on GitLab only, repos with no Remotion-style package naming, or workflows that only need issue linking without create/edit formatting.

When should I use this skill?

Creating, editing, or commenting on GitHub issues for Remotion; use issue-management for parent/sub-issue and blocking relationships.

What you get

Issues land with scannable, package-scoped titles and bodies that render correctly on GitHub, with hierarchy work routed to issue-management when needed.

  • Correctly titled GitHub issue
  • Comment or update with intact multiline Markdown

Use this skill when creating, editing, or commenting on GitHub issues. For parent issues, sub-issues, blocked-by, and blocking relationships, use the `issue-management` skill.

Issue title format

Use concise, action-oriented titles.

If the issue primarily affects a package, prefix the title with the package name:

`@remotion/package`: Change description

Examples:

`@remotion/player`: Support keyboard shortcuts for fullscreen
`@remotion/lambda`: Improve retry message for failed renders
`@remotion/docs`: Add examples contribution guide

If the issue affects the website/docs broadly, use:

Docs: Change description

If the issue affects the Studio broadly, use:

Studio: Change description

If the issue affects the monorepo or infrastructure broadly, use:

Build: Change description
CI: Change description
Repo: Change description

Avoid vague titles such as:

Bug
Fix issue
Examples follow-up

Prefer:

Docs: Add a skill for creating examples

Never pass multiline Markdown inline

Do not pass issue bodies, PR bodies, or long comments inline through shell arguments.

Avoid:

gh issue create --title "Docs: Add examples skill" --body "Line one\n\nLine two"

This can accidentally send literal \n characters to GitHub instead of real newlines.

Instead, always write Markdown to a temporary file and pass it with --body-file.

Creating an issue

1. Write the issue body to a temp Markdown file:

cat > /tmp/remotion-issue-body.md <<'EOF'
Summary of the issue.

## Tasks

- [ ] First task
- [ ] Second task

## Context

Related to #1234.
EOF

2. Create the issue using --body-file:

gh issue create \
  --title 'Docs: Add a skill for creating examples' \
  --body-file /tmp/remotion-issue-body.md

Prefer using the write tool to create the temp Markdown file instead of shell heredocs when operating as an agent.

Editing an issue body

1. Write the full replacement body to a temp Markdown file. 2. Edit the issue using --body-file:

gh issue edit 1234 --body-file /tmp/remotion-issue-body.md

After editing, verify that the body renders as intended:

gh issue view 1234 --json body --jq .body

Make sure the output contains real blank lines, not literal \n escape sequences.

Adding an issue comment

For multiline comments, also use a file:

gh issue comment 1234 --body-file /tmp/remotion-issue-comment.md

Creating or linking related issues

For parent issues, sub-issues, blocked-by, and blocking relationships, use the `issue-management` skill. Prefer the new gh issue create and gh issue edit relationship flags over hand-written GraphQL mutations.

Updating a PR or issue after linking a related issue

If a PR or issue mentions follow-up work that is now tracked by a related issue, replace vague checklist items with the concrete issue number.

Prefer:

The Remotion skill for creating examples is tracked separately in sub-issue #8158, not in this PR.

Avoid:

- [ ] Add a Remotion skill for creating an example

if that work is not part of the current PR.

Final verification checklist

After creating or editing an issue:

  • [ ] View the issue body with gh issue view <number> --json body --jq .body
  • [ ] Confirm Markdown has real newlines
  • [ ] Confirm the title follows the package/docs/studio naming convention
  • [ ] Confirm issue references such as #1234 are correct
  • [ ] If adding issue relationships, follow the issue-management skill and confirm the intended links

FAQ

Who is issue for?

Developers and small teams contributing to Remotion-style monorepos who want agents to draft GitHub issues with consistent titles and safe body submission.

When should I use issue?

Use it during Build/PM when creating, editing, or commenting on issues via gh; pair with issue-management when you need sub-issues or blocked-by links.

Is issue safe to install?

It guides git/network CLI usage—review the Security Audits panel on this Prism page before granting shell and GitHub access to your agent.
