Drive a Smelter server over its HTTP API to compose video and audio. Use this whenever configuring, composing, mixing, layouting, streaming, or recording video/audio with a Smelter server through HTTP requests (JSON request bodies, snake_case fields) — registering inputs (MP4, RTP, HLS, WHIP, WHEP, RTMP, DeckLink, V4L2), outputs (MP4, RTP, HLS, WHIP, WHEP, RTMP), building scenes from components (View, Tiles, Rescaler, Text, Image, InputStream, Shader, WebView), configuring encoders and resources, handling WebSocket events, or side-channel processing. Reach for this skill instead of guessing the Smelter HTTP API or its route paths, JSON field names, defaults, and enum values — it is the complete reference, so you don't need to browse smelter.dev. Targets Smelter server v0.6.0. (If you're instead driving Smelter from React/TypeScript code with the `@swmansion/smelter` packages, a separate `smelter-ts-docs` skill covers that SDK.)

Build video and audio applications with the Smelter TypeScript SDK (`@swmansion/smelter` and its runtime packages `@swmansion/smelter-node`, `@swmansion/smelter-web-client`, `@swmansion/smelter-web-wasm`). Use this whenever composing, mixing, layouting, streaming, or recording video/audio with Smelter's React-like component API — registering inputs (MP4, RTMP, RTP, HLS, WHIP, WHEP, camera, screen capture), outputs (MP4, RTMP, HLS, WHIP, WHEP, canvas), components (View, Tiles, Rescaler, Text, Image, Mp4, InputStream, Shader, WebView, Show, SlideShow), hooks, encoders, shaders, or side-channel processing. Reach for this skill instead of guessing Smelter's API or its prop names, defaults, and runtime availability — it is the complete reference, so you don't need to browse smelter.dev. Targets SDK v0.4.0.

Update the `smelter-http-api-docs` reference skill (in the smelter-labs/skills repo) from the Smelter website docs in this repo. Use whenever the user wants to sync, refresh, regenerate, port, or update the Smelter HTTP API docs skill — for example after editing docs under src/content/docs/http-api, after a new Smelter server release, or when they say the HTTP API docs skill is "out of date", "stale", or "behind the website". This skill reconciles existing skill content with the website rather than blindly overwriting it. It does NOT create the docs skill from scratch.

Update the `smelter-ts-docs` reference skill (in the smelter-labs/skills repo) from the Smelter website docs in this repo. Use whenever the user wants to sync, refresh, regenerate, port, or update the Smelter TypeScript SDK docs skill — for example after editing docs under src/content/docs/ts-sdk, after a new Smelter or SDK release, or when they say the docs skill is "out of date", "stale", or "behind the website". This skill reconciles existing skill content with the website rather than blindly overwriting it. It does NOT create the docs skill from scratch.

Comprehensive reference for building applications with the Smelter TypeScript SDK (@swmansion/smelter). Smelter is a media processing framework that uses React components to define video/audio compositions. Use this skill when the user is building, debugging, or extending a Smelter TypeScript application, asking about Smelter components, hooks, inputs, outputs, resources, or choosing between runtime packages (@swmansion/smelter-node, @swmansion/smelter-web-client, @swmansion/smelter-web-wasm). Triggers: "smelter", "@swmansion/smelter", video composition in TypeScript/React, mixing video streams, RTMP streaming with Smelter, video processing pipeline with React.
