Hamish explains how to install Remotion skills in an Open Terminal project and direct an AI assistant to use them. The walkthrough starts with downloading a skill ZIP or asking the assistant to clone its repository into the project directory. He then creates a folder named skills to hold the files.

The speaker describes two ways to load the instructions on demand: point the model to the folder in a chat message, or add its location to the system prompt in settings. His example message refers to a "dot skills" folder, while the earlier folder creation step uses skills. Viewers should keep that naming difference in mind when following the demonstration.

The tutorial also introduces Open WebUI's built-in task manager and scheduled automations. Hamish explains that an automation takes a model, a schedule, and instructions written as a prompt. He lists hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly intervals, then describes his own 9:30 morning workflow for researching neuromarketing and writing related skills.

For the Remotion example, he reports that the assistant loads the skills, scaffolds a project, builds its components, and renders a video. This is a workflow tutorial for local AI tooling; it does not specify model requirements, hardware, software versions, or whether the full process works offline.
