Adds `--yes` (`-y`) and `--no-tailwind` flags to `npx create-video` so it can be used non-interactively (e.g. by AI agents like Claude Code). When `--yes` is used: - TailwindCSS is installed by default (skip with `--no-tailwind`) - Agent skills are not installed - Editor is not opened - Fails hard if already inside a Git repo - Requires a template flag and directory argument Also adds a dedicated docs page for `npx create-video` under CLI Reference.

create-video: Add --yes flag for non-interactive mode
…tags - Move non-interactive examples into a dedicated "Non-interactive mode" section for linkability - Explain that agent skills can be installed manually via `npx skills add remotion-dev/skills` - Add AvailableFrom v4.0.439 tags to --yes, -y, and --no-tailwind flags Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Use CreateVideoInternals.FEATURED_TEMPLATES to render the list of available template flags instead of hardcoding them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Link --no-tailwind reference to its flag section - Link skills command to /docs/cli/skills - Add AvailableFrom v4.0.214 to --tmp flag Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The implementation is solid. All scenarios from the test plan are handled correctly:
--yeswith--tmpand a directory argument:--tmptakes precedence (directory is ignored) - acceptable edge case--yeswithout template: throws descriptive error--yeswithout directory (and no--tmp): throws descriptive error--yesinside git repo: throws descriptive error- Tailwind default with
--yes: enabled by default, disabled with--no-tailwind - Skills/editor: skipped when
--yesis used
The documentation is accurate, version constraints are correct (4.0.439 based on current 4.0.438), and code follows existing patterns.
One minor suggestion: isFlagSelected (line 35-37) is evaluated once at module load time, unlike the other flag check functions which are methods. Consider making it a function for API consistency.
