docs: add 19-skills catalog to README, CLAUDE.md, and Mintlify docs (#1722)

* docs: list all 19 skills in README + add CLAUDE.md maintenance reminder

Agents discover skills via the README, so silently-out-of-date entries
kill discovery. This change:

- Adds a `## Skills` section to the README listing all 19 skills,
  grouped Router / Creation workflows / Domain skills, with a one-line
  "use when" blurb for each (sourced from each skill's SKILL.md
  frontmatter `description:`).
- Updates the existing CLAUDE.md `## Skills` section to cover all 19
  skills (was missing the domain skills, `/media-use`, `/slideshow`,
  and `/music-to-video`), mirroring the README's Router / Creation /
  Domain grouping.
- Adds a "Skill catalog maintenance" section to CLAUDE.md so future
  skill additions / renames update both surfaces and the
  `/hyperframes` router skill in lockstep.

Docs-only — no source or test changes.

* docs(mintlify): add skills catalog page + extend maintenance reminder

Per follow-up on HF#1722: the Mintlify docs at
hyperframes.heygen.com also need the skills catalog so agent
discoverability is consistent across README and docs site.

- New: docs/guides/skills.mdx (3-group catalog — router / creation
  workflows / domain skills — mirrors README structure, sourced from
  the same SKILL.md frontmatter)
- Update: docs/quickstart.mdx — completes the workflow-skills list
  (was missing /music-to-video, /slideshow, /general-video) and
  cross-links the new page
- Update: docs/introduction.mdx — adds a skills-catalog card to the
  hero CardGroup and the Next Steps section
- Update: docs/docs.json — adds /guides/skills to the Guides nav
- Update: CLAUDE.md "Skill catalog maintenance" — adds
  docs/guides/skills.mdx as the third sync target alongside README
  and skills/hyperframes/SKILL.md, and notes the count drift surface
  (README + CLAUDE.md mention "19 AI agent skills" in their intros;
  the new docs page deliberately omits a count to avoid drift)

Docs-only — no source, packages, or test changes.

* docs(readme): oxfmt table column-alignment fix

Pure whitespace — oxfmt's table-column alignment caught README.md
after the previous commit. No content change.

— Jerrai (https://claude.com/claude-code)

* docs(skills): reconcile install-command contract across README/CLAUDE/Mintlify

Per Magi's review on HF#1722: the new README/CLAUDE/skills.mdx pages
described bare `npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes` as installing all
19 skills, while existing quickstart/prompting docs said the bare command
opens a picker and `--all` installs everything.

Verified actual CLI behavior with `npx skills add --help` and a clean-dir
run: bare command opens an interactive picker for human users (the CLI
help documents `--all` as "Shorthand for --skill '*' --agent '*' -y" —
the picker-skipping form). Inside an agent the bare command auto-installs
all non-interactively, but that's an agent-detection UX shortcut, not the
public contract — documenting the picker is correct for human readers.

All touched docs now use the consistent contract:
  - `npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes`               -> interactive picker
  - `npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes --all`         -> install all 19 (skips picker)
  - `npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes --skill <name>` -> install just one

Files updated: README.md, CLAUDE.md, docs/guides/skills.mdx. Existing
docs/quickstart.mdx and docs/guides/prompting.mdx already used this
contract and are unchanged.

```
**Video-creation workflows** route through one entry skill — read `/hyperframes` first: it orients you to the whole surface and maps "make me a video" intent to a concrete workflow. Consult it before invoking a specific workflow:
**`/hyperframes` is the entry skill — read it first.** It's the capability map for the domain skills below AND the intent router for the creation workflows. The full README skills section mirrors this list; keep them in sync (see "Skill catalog maintenance" below).
### Creation workflows
- `/product-launch-video` — a **product** URL (or a pre-written script / text brief in no-capture mode) → product launch / promo video, up to ~3 min (sweet spot ~30-90s).
- `/website-to-video` — a **general** website / URL → a video _of_ the site (tour / showcase / social clip from captured screenshots + assets); for a product **launch / promo**, use `/product-launch-video`.
- `/faceless-explainer` — arbitrary text, **no URL and no website capture** → faceless explainer, up to ~3 min (sweet spot ~30-90s); every visual is LLM-invented (typography / abstract graphics / diagram / data-viz).
- `/embedded-captions` — an existing talking-head video (MP4) → the same footage with captions / subtitles added (verbatim rail + embedded climax, or pure-cinematic embed); the footage itself is untouched (no NLE-style editing).
- `/talking-head-recut` — an existing talking-head / interview / podcast video (MP4) → the same footage packaged with designed **graphic overlays** (kinetic titles, lower-thirds, data callouts, pull-quotes, side panels, pip) synced to the transcript; the clip plays unchanged underneath, footage untouched. Replaces the removed `/footage-recut`. For plain captions/subtitles → `/embedded-captions`.
- `/pr-to-video` — a GitHub PR (URL / `owner/repo#N` / "this PR") → code-change explainer, up to ~3 min (changelog / feature reveal / fix / refactor). A PR link, not a product website.
- `/embedded-captions` — an existing talking-head video (MP4) → the same footage with captions / subtitles added (verbatim rail + embedded climax, or pure-cinematic embed); the footage itself is untouched (no NLE-style editing).
- `/talking-head-recut` — an existing talking-head / interview / podcast video (MP4) → the same footage packaged with designed **graphic overlays** (kinetic titles, lower-thirds, data callouts, pull-quotes, side panels, PiP) synced to the transcript; the clip plays unchanged underneath, footage untouched. For plain captions/subtitles → `/embedded-captions`.
- `/motion-graphics` — a short (typically under 10s) design-led **motion graphic**, motion-is-the-message, no narration: kinetic type, a stat / number count-up, a chart, a logo sting, a lower-third / overlay, or an animated tweet / headline / captured-page highlight; rendered to MP4 or a transparent overlay. Longer / narrated / custom → `/general-video`.
- `/music-to-video` — a **music track** (audio file, or video to pull audio from) → beat-synced video (lyric / slideshow / kinetic promo). Music drives pacing; user-supplied images / videos are cut onto the same beat grid.
- `/slideshow` — a **presentation / pitch deck / interactive deck** — discrete slides, fragment reveals, branching, hotspot navigation, presenter mode. Output is a navigable deck, not a rendered video.
- `/general-video` — fallback for any other video creation (title card, longer brand / sizzle reel, multi-scene montage, static loop, custom composition); the original hyperframes flow — design → plan → layout → build → validate, any length.
- `/remotion-to-hyperframes` — port an existing Remotion (React) composition to HyperFrames HTML. One-way migration, not creation.
**Porting an existing composition?** `/remotion-to-hyperframes` translates a Remotion (React) video composition into HyperFrames HTML — a source migration, separate from the creation workflows above.
### Domain skills (loaded on demand)
Atomic capabilities the creation workflows compose against — pull one when you need that specific layer:
- `/hyperframes-core` — the composition contract: `data-*` timing attributes, `class="clip"`, tracks, sub-compositions, variables, framework-owned media playback, determinism rules. Read before writing composition HTML.
- `/hyperframes-animation` — all animation knowledge: atomic motion rules, scene blueprints, transitions, runtime adapters (GSAP default, plus Lottie / Three.js / Anime.js / CSS / WAAPI / TypeGPU).
- `/hyperframes-creative` — non-animation creative direction: `frame.md` / `design.md` handling, palettes, typography, narration, beat planning, audio-reactive visuals, composition patterns.
- `/hyperframes-media` — audio + media: TTS voiceover, background music, sound effects, Whisper transcription, background removal, caption authoring (one shared `scripts/audio.mjs` engine, multi-provider).
- `/media-use` — resolve any media need (BGM, SFX, image, icon) into a frozen local file + ledger record. One verb (`resolve`) over the HeyGen catalog with manifest tracking; keeps search noise on disk.
- `/hyperframes-cli` — CLI dev loop: `init`, `add`, `lint`, `validate`, `inspect`, `preview`, `render`, `publish`, `doctor`, `lambda` (AWS Lambda cloud rendering).
- `/hyperframes-registry` — install and wire registry blocks and components into compositions via `hyperframes add`. Covers authoring a new block or component to contribute upstream.
## Skill catalog maintenance
When adding a new skill, or substantially renaming / repurposing an existing one, update all three agent-facing discoverability surfaces in lockstep:
1. The skill list above (CLAUDE.md) AND the `## Skills` section in `README.md` AND `docs/guides/skills.mdx` (rendered at [hyperframes.heygen.com/guides/skills](https://hyperframes.heygen.com/guides/skills)). Out-of-date entries silently kill discovery.
2. If the skill changes the routing surface for "make a video" requests, also update the capability map and intent router in `skills/hyperframes/SKILL.md` — that's the canonical router agents read first.
3. Mirror the Router / Creation workflows / Domain skills grouping across all three surfaces so a skill always lives in the same column.
4. Skill count appears in the README and CLAUDE.md intro lines ("19 AI agent skills…") — update on add/remove. The `docs/guides/skills.mdx` page deliberately omits a count to avoid drift; keep it count-free.
The skill's own `SKILL.md` frontmatter `description:` is the source of truth for the one-line "use when" blurb; copy from there into the catalog rather than paraphrasing.

title: Skills catalog
description: "Every HyperFrames skill agents load on demand — what each one is for, and how to install them."
---
HyperFrames ships AI agent skills via [vercel-labs/skills](https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills). They teach your agent the framework-specific patterns — `data-*` attributes, GSAP timeline registration, adapter registries, runtime-owned media playback — that generic web docs don't cover. **Install them before writing compositions** and your agent produces valid HyperFrames HTML on the first try.
The skills split into three groups:
- **Router** — the entry skill that picks a workflow for any "make me a video" request.
- **Creation workflows** — one per input shape (URL, PR, music track, captions, etc.). Read by the router; you can also invoke directly if you already know which one fits.
- **Domain skills** — atomic capabilities (animation, media, CLI, registry) the workflows compose against. Load one when you need that specific layer.
## Install
<Steps>
<Step title="Pick what to install (interactive picker)">
```bash
npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes
```
Opens a picker so you can choose which skills to add. Works with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/claude-code), [Cursor](https://cursor.sh), [Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli), [Codex CLI](https://github.com/openai/codex), [GitHub Copilot CLI](/guides/copilot-cli), and [Google Antigravity](/guides/antigravity).
</Step>
<Step title="Or install all 19 at once (skip the picker)">
```bash
npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes --all
```
Writes every skill to your project in one shot. Recommended when you want the full set without selecting from the picker.
</Step>
<Step title="Or install one skill at a time">
```bash
npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes --skill <name>
```
Pass the bare skill name (no leading `/`) — e.g. `--skill hyperframes-animation`. Useful when you want a single capability without the full set.
</Step>
<Step title="Read /hyperframes first">
Once installed, invoke `/hyperframes` in your agent. It's the capability map for everything below and routes "make me a video" intent to the right creation workflow based on your input.
</Step>
</Steps>
<Tip>
**Don't see a slash command after install?** Open a new agent session, or run `/skills` (Copilot CLI) / restart your agent's skill loader. Most agents pick up new skills on the next prompt.
</Tip>

## Source of truth
The one-line "use when" for each skill comes from its own `SKILL.md` frontmatter `description:` field in the [hyperframes repo](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/tree/main/skills). The same catalog lives in the [README's `## Skills` section](https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes#skills) and the repo `CLAUDE.md`; all three surfaces are kept in sync when a skill is added or renamed.
