Thirty-two published videos were the raw render output. One 20-second catalog
preview was 60 MB at 25 Mbps — Blu-ray bitrate for a screen capture in a docs
page. Nothing autoplays, so no page shipped that silently, but a reader who
pressed play paid for it.
Re-encoded at 1280 wide, CRF 28, faststart, keeping audio where it existed.
Measured PSNR against the originals at ~38.5 dB, which is visually identical —
the first check I ran returned nothing and I mistook that for a pass, so this
number comes from a filter that actually worked.
Worth correcting one thing I said earlier: the catalog is not systemically
over-encoded. 190 videos, 0.36 GB, about 1.9 MB each. Six were over 10 MB. I
found two monsters and generalised from them.
Pages carrying more than 8 MB of video: 26 before, and the heaviest went from
140 MB to under 15 MB.
The durable fix is in generate-catalog-previews.ts, which had no delivery encode
at all — it published the render master directly. It has a web pass now, so the
next preview is born small instead of being cleaned up later.
Removed on request. The demo let a reader change a headline and an accent on a
ten-second composition, which undersold the thing the page is arguing for — the
Showcase wall above it does more for that in less space.
The component and its build apparatus go with it in #2977; nothing else on the
page referenced them.
Rewrites the pages that survive the restructure so they lead with what a reader
can accomplish, and points them at the sections added in the previous commit.
Page set and navigation are unchanged here; only content moves.
Keeps the skill count in README. CLAUDE.md's catalog-maintenance rule requires
the count to live in README and CLAUDE.md, and both now agree with the 19
directories under skills/.
* 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Agents discover skills via the README, so silently-out-of-date entries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.

## What
Add 28 transition blocks from the Hyperframe Template Structure catalog, bringing the registry to 53 total items.
### Shader transitions (14 blocks, WebGL, 4s each)
`domain-warp-dissolve`, `ridged-burn`, `whip-pan`, `sdf-iris`, `ripple-waves`, `gravitational-lens`, `cinematic-zoom`, `chromatic-radial-split`, `glitch`, `swirl-vortex`, `thermal-distortion`, `flash-through-white`, `cross-warp-morph`, `light-leak`
### CSS transition showcases (14 blocks, various durations)
`transitions-3d`, `transitions-blur`, `transitions-cover`, `transitions-destruction`, `transitions-dissolve`, `transitions-distortion`, `transitions-grid`, `transitions-light`, `transitions-mechanical`, `transitions-other`, `transitions-push`, `transitions-radial`, `transitions-scale`, `transitions-shader`
## Why
Phase D content accumulation. Transitions are the most-requested category for the catalog.
## How
- Shader transitions extracted from `shader-showcase.zip`, each a standalone HTML with WebGL shaders
- CSS transitions extracted from `showcase-bundle.zip`, each a standalone showcase page
- All tagged with `transition` + `shader` or `showcase` for catalog grouping
- Preview thumbnails generated for all 28 blocks
- Catalog pages + index regenerated
## Test plan
- [x] All 28 blocks produce preview thumbnails
- [x] `registry-item.json` validates for all blocks
- [x] Catalog pages generated (45 total items in catalog-index.json)
- [x] `oxfmt --check` passes
* feat(skills): add hyperframes-cli skill for CLI workflow guidance
Adds a new skill that teaches AI agents how to use the HyperFrames CLI
(init, lint, dev, render, doctor). Previously, agents had no way to
discover the CLI — the compose-video skill only covered HTML authoring.
This led to agents searching for binaries, finding the monorepo, and
running bun run studio manually instead of using npx hyperframes dev.
Also registers the skill in init.ts so new projects get it bundled
alongside hyperframes-compose and hyperframes-captions.

* refactor(cli): rename dev command to preview
The command starts a preview server — "preview" describes what users
are doing more accurately than "dev". Updates the command name, file
name, all CLI references, docs, skills, and template CLAUDE.md.
22 files updated across CLI source, docs, skills, and templates.

* fix(skills): replace stale dev reference with preview in CLI skill
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(docs): catch remaining dev references missed in rename
- testing-local-changes.mdx: two inline command examples
- troubleshooting.mdx: anchor link #dev → #preview, "dev server" → "preview server"
- cli.mdx: "dev server" → "preview server"

Major improvements across all 18 pages:
- Use Mintlify components: <Steps> for tutorials, <Tabs> for alternatives,
<CodeGroup> for multi-platform commands, <Tree> for directory structures,
<AccordionGroup> for FAQ/scannable content, <Mermaid> for diagrams
- Add filename annotations to all code blocks (e.g., ```html index.html)
- Add numbered comments inside multi-step code examples
- Show expected terminal output after CLI commands
- Add "When to use" / "When NOT to use" sections to all package pages
- Add "Next Steps" CardGroup to every page (no dead-end pages)
- Cross-link between pages at point of curiosity (not just "see also" dumps)
- Expand thin pages (engine, studio) with architecture details and examples
- Add decision guides (rendering modes, template selection)
- Use <Warning> and <Note> sparingly (max 2-3 per page)
Also adds DOCS_GUIDELINES.md at repo root with writing standards.
