* docs(studio): the browser editor in six pages, named the browser editor
* docs(studio): mute where the editor has it, and no solo control
The audio pages still described a solo control and a group-row mute that
the editor does not render. Muting is the speaker button on an audio
track (Mute track / Unmute track), the same toggle on a selected clip,
and the Muted switch; a group is silenced through its members' tracks.
The audio reference drops its solo section for the same reason.
* docs(prompting): the Prompt Guide as six topic pages
* docs(prompting): call the skill the way each agent does
The overview told every own-agent user to start with /hyperframes; Codex
uses $hyperframes, and other agents have their own way. The line now
names both and keeps the caveat the old page had.
* docs(guides): media pages titled by the task people search for
* docs(guides): background fixes as a visible section; list color grading as an agreed deletion
* docs(guides): one page per kind of video, with its prompts folded in
* docs(guides): two tiles per row on What to make; list the folded prompt pages as agreed deletions
* refactor(skills): fold six domain skills into hyperframes and media-use guides
hyperframes-core, -animation, -keyframes, -creative and -studio move to
skills/hyperframes/{core,animation,keyframes,creative,studio}/, and
hyperframes-audio moves to skills/media-use/mix/. Each moved SKILL.md becomes
a frontmatter-free GUIDE.md so installers that scan recursively for SKILL.md
no longer see them as skills; the published list goes from 21 to 15.
Relative links, code paths and skill-name mentions are rewritten to the new
locations, the catalog surfaces, marketplace core-skills list, fallback core
set, module-copy targets and skills-manifest.json follow, and
`hyperframes skills update` now removes the retired skills (RETIRED_SKILLS)
when they are still installed.

* feat(skills): slim the core entries and give media-use a HeyGen and a free path
The four entries every run opens are rewritten to what an agent cannot infer:
hyperframes 21.8 KB to 7.7 KB, hyperframes-cli 24.8 KB to 6.9 KB,
hyperframes-registry 9.9 KB to 4.3 KB, media-use 9.7 KB to 4.9 KB. Detail moved
whole into references (routing close calls and creator edits, CLI pin upgrades,
catalog search tiers, CLI conventions and feedback reports).
- hyperframes: state table, routing, the render contract, a terminal work loop
(check, snapshot, preview before render), the desktop-app hand-off, and a
table of the folded guides.
- media-use: one table of HeyGen versus free local tools per need; HeyGen
sign-in, credits and the CLI's video-agent, avatar, clone, lipsync, translate
and clipping commands; every free path works with no account.
- scripts/check-core-skills.mjs holds entries and descriptions to budget and
checks every taught `npx hyperframes` command and path; runs in lint.
- Core entries are exempt from the formatter: its table padding cost ~1.5 KB
per entry on every run.
- Content tests follow the text to its new home.

* fix(skills): plugin runs skip skills update; media-use explains HeyGen sign-in and TTS setup
The smoke eval showed a presenter request never reaching media-use and the
free voiceover failing on a missing kokoro-onnx; plugin runs also ran the
skills update the plugin rules forbid.

* chore(skills): drop a committed Python bytecode file and ignore bytecode
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(skills): align the entry with the Studio skills and keep the workflows' measured facts
The entry drops routing and the intent interview and carries the contract, the
editable-project rules and the work loop. Studio's format, runtimes, motion,
look and captions references come over for terminal use, frame presets move to
assets/, media-use gains Studio's mixing and local-command references, and
film.md and overlays.md keep what the workflow skills measured.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(skills)!: retire the workflow skills and folded guides; publish seven knowledge skills
The skill pack now publishes exactly seven skills - hyperframes,
hyperframes-cli, hyperframes-registry, media-use, figma, slideshow and
remotion-to-hyperframes - carrying knowledge, not process. The eight
workflow skills, the folded domain guides and the routing/interview
references are deleted; their measured facts already live in the
hyperframes references (format, runtimes, motion, look, captions, film,
overlays) and media-use's mixing reference.
- bake-basemap.mjs and locate.mjs move to skills/hyperframes/scripts/
(bake-basemap gains --help); extract-audio-data.py moves to
media-use/audio/scripts/ for the caption motion reference.
- skills update: the eight workflows join RETIRED_SKILLS so existing
installs prune them (by lock attribution only, since their names are
generic); naming a retired skill reports where its knowledge went and
succeeds instead of failing as unknown.
- Capture prompts point at the hyperframes skill's references/film.md;
the live-map warning names the new bake-basemap path.
- Content tests that pinned knowledge are retargeted to the kept
references; tests of deleted workflows, scripts and process go.
- Catalog surfaces, templates and docs describe the seven skills.

Catalog PRs commit item sources only; CI regenerates the pages from the edited

rename is left for a non-catalog PR.

* build(cli): raise the CLI size budget for the skill references it bundles
The CLI bundles skills/hyperframes, which now carries the folded domain guides and
frame presets (155 KB to 1.08 MB in git). Budgets are the CI-measured size plus 5%:
packed 7526634, unpacked 22593213.

* test: keep repo-sweep guards meaningful after the workflow skills left
The last shell ffprobe caller and most root index.html examples lived in retired
skills. The shell detector is now pinned on a literal command line, and the
structure-rule sweep needs more than 5 roots (11 remain) rather than 30.

* feat(skills): slim figma, slideshow and remotion to the Studio shape; restore the storyboard board
slideshow 33.5 KB to 4.9, figma 18.2 to 6.2, remotion-to-hyperframes 11.0 to
4.9, each keeping the facts only it holds (the figma motion helpers, verify gate,
storyboard decoding and usage beacons; present and hand-off; the Remotion lint,
SSIM check and API map). The board page format from the storyboard recipe comes
back as hyperframes/references/storyboard.md: the desktop app's Storyboard tab
reads boards/storyboard.html by its frame, title and time classes. The entry and
the init template now say to snapshot the moments an edit changed before
replying, which the terminal eval found skipped in 22 of 38 runs.

* fix(skills): keep the voiceover carve in media-use; presets stage their own fonts
Review follow-ups on #5651:
- carve.mjs and its tests move to skills/media-use/audio/scripts; the audio
docs, mixing.md and two Studio comments point there.
- code-editorial's FRAME.md says to copy its bundled WOFF2s and add the
@font-face blocks, instead of promising the retired build-frame.mjs.
- media-use states the host rule before the HeyGen sign-in steps.
- storyboard-format marks transition_in as a note the agent builds itself.
- Two stale citations (creator-editing-recipes.md, sub-compositions.md).

* feat(skills): films that tell a story start from three storylines; maps use real imagery
Opus 5.5 arm D read motion.md and applied it, but its launch film was a
feature list (pain, three feature cards, proof, logo): film.md left story
to the model. And the map case never opened film.md, so it drew Natural
Earth outlines instead of baking satellite tiles.
- references/story.md: the generic half of Studio's moment-film story and
craft (one thing, three storylines with world and device, the hook,
beats, worlds, copy, brand, tells of a generated film). The person picks
a storyline, or the agent takes its recommendation when asked for the
file or for no stops.
- The entry's work loop names the storyline step for films over ~15 s; the
references table routes stories to story.md and maps to film.md.
- film.md points at story.md and gives maps and real places a section.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(skills): story.md follows the entry: no voiceover unless asked
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(skills): bake-basemap starts from a globe and stops waiting out its idle timeout
The Opus 5.5 map run spent 13 of its 38 minutes on parallel bakes that
stalled and 15 more recording 300 frames, after rewriting the script because
it could only start on a flat map.
- PROJECTION=globe with a seeded starfield and atmosphere, and FROM/PAN to
turn the globe to CENTER before the dive.
- Each frame polls for loaded tiles instead of waiting for an "idle" event
that had often already fired: 30 frames went from 198-219 s to 10-13 s
locally with byte-identical frames.
- Progress prints seconds a frame and minutes left; film.md shows the globe
call and says to run one bake at a time.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(skills): render in the foreground; wait on a detached render's log, never pgrep -f
Both Opus 5.5 explainer runs started a detached render, then waited with
`until ! pgrep -f "hyperframes render"`, which matches its own loop: each
render took 88-117 s and the wait sat for the tool's full 10 minutes.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(skills): route each kind of film; storylines carry look and sound; add review and sound
The entry routes by request (launch, explainer, music, data, vertical, 3D,
character) to a self-contained file under references/types/, and a film
over ~15 s now gets music and sounds on its visible actions unless the
person asked for silence. Each storyline names its look and its sound, so
picking one picks both; STORYBOARD.md frames carry `reads` and `sound`.
review.md is the whole-film pass: the check warnings, the review sheets,
seven questions to look for, P0/P1/P2 notes and REVIEW.md. motion.md gains
eases by role, six title entrances, a reading-time rule and nine measured
transitions; look.md a design plan before the first scene, with presets
kept for decks and named picks. story.md adds the second default that
generated design falls into, with what to do instead.
The blank template and format.md no longer teach the fade-and-slide-up
entrance on a dark canvas.

* feat(cli): check warns on unread lines, dead stretches, small type, empty frame 0 and silence
A coding agent cannot watch its film, so check now measures what a viewer
notices over time. A new `craft` section holds warnings only (exit 0
unless --strict), sampled on the dense 8 fps grid the overlap pass
already seeks, skipped for --range checks:
- line_unread: a reading-size line (>= 30 px tall at 1080) on screen
under 0.4 s for 1-2 words, else under 3/4 of 0.5 s + 0.3 s a word;
the film's last line needs 2 s. Short lines are re-measured between
samples to ~0.01 s before judging. Captions-track and
data-layout-ignore text are exempt.
- dead_stretch: more than 3 s where the keepsMoving liveness signature
does not change, outside the final 3 s and any data-hold element;
quiet when sweep_static fires or a whole-composition keepsMoving
assertion owns the limit.
- text_below_floor: text under 2.6% of the short side (28 px on 1080)
held 0.5 s, one finding per file listing every element.
- first_frame_empty: frame 0 paints only the background.
- film_silent: over 15 s with no unmuted audio or audible video.
Each message names the fix and the skill reference to read. keepsMoving
now also leaves the film's last 3 s (a still end card) out of its
static runs, so the two agree.

* feat(cli): snapshot --review captures a beat sheet, seam strips and a phone sheet
snapshot --review picks the frames that show a film over time instead of
evenly spaced ones, in the same single browser session:
- review-beats.jpg: one settled frame per scene at its start + 0.3 s,
plus one per timed data-beat="name" element, labelled time and id.
Scenes are the composition's top-level timed clips and sub-composition
hosts, read like `timeline` reads rows (captions and audio excluded)
and timed by the runtime's start resolver over the live page.
- review-seam-NN.jpg: frames at -0.2, -0.1, 0, +0.1, +0.2 s around
every cut (each scene start, and any scene end no scene starts at).
- review-phone.jpg: the beat frames at 360 px wide.
--composition scopes the review to one sub-composition; with fewer than
two scenes the beats spread evenly and a note says so. snapshot also
gains --json: one envelope with every frame's path and time and, under
--review, the scenes, beats and seams behind the sheets; progress moves
to stderr.

* fix(cli): craft warnings stay out of --strict; a hold gets a real next action, not a caret
Craft findings (unread lines, dead stretches, small type, an empty first
frame, silence) are judgment calls a film may break on purpose, so
--strict keeps gating defects only. The check reference no longer
suggests a blinking caret to keep a still frame moving.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(cli): review spreads beats when every scene starts together; map credits skip the type floor
A map film whose basemap and overlay both start at 0 s got one beat
frame; the even spread now keys on distinct scene starts. film.md tells
agents to mark the imagery credit data-layout-ignore and back it, since
the new type floor flagged it on the first real run.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(cli): review frames each scene at its middle too, not only 0.3 s in
On the first real explainer, 0.3 s into a scene showed a bare colour
field before its title entered. Each scene longer than about a second
and a half now adds a frame at its middle, so the sheet shows what the
scene builds.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(skills): a film is built from a numeric SPEC.md, with defaults banned by name and a look test
Studied in full: flxrnc's Motion Lab (vague vs directed prompt), 0xMovez's
course, EianLu's riso skill, agentchengfeng's style samples and the two
Opus 5.5 guides. Their common point: adjectives are where the default look
lives, so the agent now writes SPEC.md before any scene (GOAL, OUTPUT,
TIME, LOOK, MOTION, SHOTS, BANNED, QA), with a number for every adjective.
spec.md bans the defaults by name, unless the brand or reference uses
them (a dark void with small things floating, glow and particles, the
cream-serif-mono-label look, fade-and-slide-up, corner brackets), and
grows that list after the first render. Each storyline gets a 3 s test of
its hero shot before the pick; a look is written as the rules of one
medium. Composition numbers: the hero fills 40% of the frame, one hero
move per shot, the shot's information in within 2.5 s then a held poster.
motion.md adds springs by damping ratio, shorter exits, overlap, stagger
and the beat grid; review.md reviews as a harsh director and grows BANNED;
vertical.md takes the riso skill's measured safe band; explainer.md the
shapes of information.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(skills): story before look; every object reads as itself; posters only for info cards
The first spec-driven C02 swapped the dark default for a flat Swiss
poster, and the story went with it: two black bars nobody read as mirrors,
slogans instead of cause and effect, a storyline picked for its picture.
The spec now serves the story: a storyline is picked for the story a
stranger would follow, the look test asks first whether a stranger
understands what they see, and SPEC.md gains an OBJECTS line giving each
thing the material and details that make it read without a label. The
2.5 s held-poster rule is limited to information cards; in a story film
every shot causes the next. Explainers start from a person or situation
the viewer knows. Review names every object as a stranger would and
treats one that needs explaining as a P0.

* fix(skills): storylines are three films in words, each with a device and a form
The three storylines are pitched as text and the person picks from them;
nothing is built for a storyline before the pick, so the 3 s hero-shot
look test is gone. Ideas pair a device with a form, five or more first,
keeping the three that differ most, and the one stop states the rest in
an assumption line that names every paid item beside its free option.

* ci: list main's new embedded-captions hf-cli test among the retired workflow files

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(core): keep the audio preset comment within core's size budget
The comment's new citation to media-use's mixing reference made the published
package 14 bytes larger than its budget, which sits at main's exact size.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(cli): craft keeps its own 8 fps grid; comments back within the checks
Review on #5651 found that the merge moved craft onto the overlap pass's
times, which main caps at 180, so a brief line in a long film fell between
samples and line_unread missed it. Craft now builds its own grid at 8 fps up to
600 samples, as before the merge, and a 60 s film with a line shown for 0.2 s
pins it.
The Comments check passes again: REVIEW.md and STORYLINES.md join the files a
skill writes into a project, the comment lines this branch added come back
under each file's share at the merge-base, and the audio preset comment drops
a word the check reads as history.

* fix(cli): snapshot no longer transcodes every iPhone clip it never plays
snapshot served Studio's media proxies by default, so its page server transcoded every browser-hostile clip (every HEVC clip) in full at load. Snapshots show frames extracted with FFmpeg and never use those copies. Proxies are now served only with --proxy; hyperframes.json media.autoProxy no longer turns them on for snapshots.
* docs: snapshot makes no media proxy unless asked
* feat(cli): judge text behind a transparent video by its decoded alpha in check
The layout audit treated every <video> as opaque over its whole box, so a
caption between footage and a remove-background cutout always failed
text_occluded and needed data-layout-allow-occlusion, which also hid a word
the subject's head fully covered.
check now draws the video's current (seeked) frame into one reused,
downscaled scratch canvas, once per sample and only for a video a text probe
lands under. A fully opaque frame keeps today's behaviour. A frame with
transparency is judged per rendered word against its alpha: partial cover is
an info finding carrying the most covered word's share, and a word 80% hidden
or two neighbouring words each half hidden is an error. A frame that cannot
be read falls back to opaque with a video_alpha_unread info note.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(cli): check finds words under narrow, mirrored or backed cutouts
Review follow-ups on #5657:
- A matte the probe walk passes over, even at clear-alpha points, now triggers
the per-word check, so a feature between two probe columns (an arm, a mic
stand) still fails the word it hides.
- Mirrored videos and images map viewport points through the flip; a rotated,
skewed or 3D-transformed video falls back to opaque with video_alpha_unread.
- A video with an opaque CSS background keeps its whole box occluding.
- cli.mdx lists every unread cause and why a fully transparent frame is one.

The from-file a-roll video gets data-start="0" so a scaffold lints clean, and

* fix(studio): atomic muted edits, cutout keeps sound on a linked audio
Muted and Has audio track commit one batched write (one persist, one
undo entry) and remove data-has-audio instead of writing an empty
marker. Unmuting a video probes its src: audible -> true, silent ->
false, probe failed -> absent. Remove background on an audible video
inserts a linked sibling <audio> with the original sound in the same
write, replacing the drop-the-sound confirm.

* fix(producer): skip hidden videos when auto-adding video audio
A video hidden in Studio is dropped by the mixer, so its src never reached
existingAudioSrcs and the render re-added it at full volume. The video parser
now records the shared hidden predicate and the auto-detect step skips hidden
videos.

* fix(core): wrap looping Lottie by frame so a loop never holds at its seam
* fix(core): a looping Lottie starts each cycle on frame 0 despite float error
* docs(skills): the agent presents a tailor-made storyboard page instead of a Studio board
Adds the storyboard recipe (decisions first, beat fields, a self-contained
storyboard.html contact sheet, a review round) distilled from the launch
films, and rewrites the review loop, brief contract, storyboard format and
workflow steps that still described the deleted board and comments file.
* docs(skills): reconcile the sketch pass with the beautiful storyboard sheet
Review found: the recipe's storyboard.html cell spec (real fonts, real
colors) contradicted review-loop's own sketch definition (wireframe, no
brand treatment). The sketch is static, not unstyled; only motion is
deferred to the build pass. Also fixes a frame-packet boundary note, a
craft-device citation, and a provenance overclaim.
* feat(cli): render summary names the capture path, gpu mode and stage timings
* fix(lint): drop gsap_exit_missing_hard_kill, its hazard does not reproduce on cold workers
* fix(cli): render slow-path hint fires only when the gpu was auto-probed
* test(cli): isolate agent hint suite from ambient agent env keys
The suite runs inside agent sessions. Ambient env keys fill the 16-key
hint cap and fail assertions that a plain shell would pass.
* docs(music-to-video): drop leftover hard-kill mandate after lint rule removal
Frame workers still required a tl.set hard-kill that the dropped lint
rule no longer enforces. Align the self-check with montage.md.
* refactor(cli): share hint-key pattern and collapse render summary args
Export HINT_KEY_PATTERN for the test isolation strip. Read duration and
frame count from the perf summary instead of passing them beside it.
* test(cli): lock capture-mode preference and 16-key hint isolation
Session mode, including drawelement, must print over observability.
The hint suite now fails if ambient keys already fill the 16-key cap.
* feat(cli): default BeginFrame, agent blank, and looks quality
Local auto render opts out of the software-GPU screenshot clamp so
BeginFrame can run. init --agent scaffolds a centered Inter blank with
no prompts. --quality looks (now the default) is CRF 16; delivery is high.
* fix(cli): honor screenshot env and teach agent pitfalls on the happy path
Local auto still requests BeginFrame unless PRODUCER_FORCE_SCREENSHOT=true.
The agent blank fills its canvas so --resolution can resize it. Skills now
name the four pitfalls and tell agents to read the render summary line.
* feat(cli): default init to the centered blank
Bare init scaffolds the centered Inter stage. --agent is a hidden alias.
* fix(cli): pack from-file and use it for video init
TTY --video with no --example selects from-file. Pack copies that template.
* fix(cli): wire --video onto from-file even with --example blank
One resolver picks the scaffold. Spawned init --video asserts a-roll src.
* fix(cli): narrow looks CRF on the quality alias
Only looks carries crf. Typecheck failed on the union without a guard.
* style(cli): shorten render-pipeline summary comment
* fix(motion-graphics): make the catalog search fire before hand-authoring
The workflow's only reuse instruction pointed at catalog-map.md, a
hand-maintained snapshot of ~60 registry items, and no file in the skill
ever named `hyperframes catalog --query`. An agent asked mid-build for
CRT scanlines and a glitch effect had no instruction to search, so it
hand-authored both while caption-glitch-rgb ("RGB chromatic aberration
with CRT scanline overlay") ranks first for that query on either tier.
The search reads the hosted registry and needs nothing installed, from
any directory with no project, so "the components were not installed"
was never the cause. Say that where the reader is, since the wrong
diagnosis is the intuitive one.
Director Part 2 and the Builder now run the search before naming a
block, and catalog-map.md is labelled a partial snapshot whose misses
prove nothing. Pinned by a content test in coreSkillContent.test.ts.
* fix(skills): search the component catalog before hand-building a look
Authoring workflows never told the agent to search the component library,
so agents rebuilt effects the registry already shipped. A user reported
building an effect from scratch that the registry already contained; the
search that would have found it needs nothing installed, which is why the
usual self-diagnosis ("I forgot to install the components") is wrong.
All ten workflow skills carried zero mentions of `hyperframes catalog`.
The instruction lived only in hyperframes-cli and hyperframes-registry,
both loaded on demand, and the registry skill's own trigger named the
command rather than the symptom - circular, because an agent that never
thought to search could not reach the doc telling it to search.
- Eight workflows now run the search at the point they decide what to
build, before authoring. The two that compile through a closed
authoring vocabulary (embedded-captions, talking-head-recut) document
why they deliberately do not.
- hyperframes-registry triggers on the symptom (a named look, effect,
treatment or transition) instead of the command name; the router table
and the catalog surfaces carry the same framing.
- Fixes hand-maintained lists that had drifted: bar-chart-race was listed
as a hand-author gap in two files while shipping in the registry;
stat-motion was named as an installable block and is not one; the
caption-* family count was one high; the registry discovery tables
claimed to be the block list while covering 97 of 180.
- bun run lint:skills now fails when a doc marked as a registry snapshot
names an item the registry does not have.
* refactor(scripts): reuse native recursive readdir and the shared registry type
Simplify pass on the new registry-snapshot check, behaviour identical:
- collectMarkdownFiles uses readdirSync({ recursive: true }) instead of
hand-rolled recursion, matching scripts/generate-template-previews.ts.
- registryItemNames types registry.json with the exported RegistryManifest
instead of an ad hoc inline shape, matching scripts/catalog/build-local-vectors.ts.
The runtime guard stays: a cast describes the file, it does not validate it.
- One report() helper replaces the duplicated print-and-count block in both
lint passes.
* refactor(scripts): name the registry check's blind spots and stop self-arming
Applies the review findings on the new check, behaviour identical except
where noted:
- lintRegistryItemRefs returns null for an unmarked file instead of an
empty array, so "not a snapshot" and "a clean snapshot" have one owner
and the marker is matched once rather than twice.
- Marker detection ignores fenced blocks, so a doc that documents the
marker syntax in an example no longer arms the check on itself. The id
scan still reads full content, so fenced examples stay covered.
- The header comment and two tests now pin both known false negatives:
identifiers outside backticks, and single-word item names. Measured on
the six marked files, dropping the hyphen requirement would monitor 3
more items and force 46 allow= entries for ordinary prose words, so the
requirement stays and the gap is stated instead of silent.
* chore(skills): regenerate skills manifest after catalog-search edits
Bare `hyperframes skills` passed `--skill '*'` to the upstream installer, which discovers every SKILL.md in the clone, so a full install put 26 skills on disk against the 20 the manifest publishes (the six repo-internal ones under .claude/skills / .agents/skills). It now resolves the canonical manifest and installs its names, the same path `skills update` uses; offline it warns and degrades to the pinned core set instead of the wildcard. Docs point the full set at `npx hyperframes skills` and say what `skills add --all` really pulls.
* docs(audio): document the audio effects system
The effects feature had no documentation at all — the only mentions anywhere in
docs/ were changelog entries. This adds the three pages the color-grading feature
already has, one per audience, and closes a gap in the existing audio guide.
- prompting/audio-effects — a new Level 5 chapter on asking for a mix in
symptoms rather than in filters, with the voiceover carve as the headline, the
level-before-depth check, groups, and the three requests that have no honest
answer (de-essing, noise removal, tone matching).
- studio/audio-effects — the rack, presets by symptom, the carve module, groups,
the deliberately asymmetric mute/solo, automation lanes, and troubleshooting.
- reference/audio-effects — the contract: all four attributes, every effect and
parameter range, why some parameters cannot be automated, the 19 presets, the
five jobs and five one-knob profiles, carve semantics, the group model, the
render bus, preview/render parity, and the three lint rules.
Also points the existing "duck music under important speech" advice in
guides/voice-and-audio at the carve, which does that properly and was never
named there.
Facts verified against source rather than the shipped skill prose: the panel
section is "Audio FX" (the neighbouring "Effects" section is visual effects, and
an earlier draft of this page named the wrong one), MAX_AUTOMATION_POINTS is 512,
fromPreset carries a preset id rather than a boolean, the leveller targets the
track's own 80th percentile, group mute reaches the render while solo never
leaves Studio, and the CLI carve currently writes clip ids.
No screenshots in this pass, and no placeholders for them either — the pages
carry concrete markup and tables instead. Screenshots of the rack, the carve
module, and a group row would each earn their place later.
mint validate and mint broken-links both pass.
* docs(audio): give audio its own Studio group, split by task
Review feedback: the audio page did not belong in Studio / Edit. That group is
already one task per page — canvas, timeline, animation, captions — and a single
page covering the rack, the carve, groups, and automation lanes was four tasks
bundled together and dropped in beside them.
Studio now has an Audio group holding four task pages:
- Effects and presets — the rack, presets by symptom, adding single effects in a
working order, the one-knob controls, Even Out Levels
- Voiceover carve — its own page, because it is the feature people come for
- Groups, mute, and solo — including why mute reaches the export and solo cannot
- Automation lanes — drawing envelopes, the shape menu, and which parameters
cannot move at all
Not a new top-level tab: the tabs here are audience-scoped (Guides, Studio,
Catalog, Developers), so a feature tab would be the only one of its kind and
would strand the prompting chapter out of its Level 5 sequence and the reference
page out of Developers.
Repointed the deep link in guides/voice-and-audio at the carve's own page.
Lane interactions verified in source before documenting: the right-click menu
offers Ramp up, Ramp down, Swell, Dip, and Simplify (which needs three points).
Deliberately not documented: "clicking a lane label reveals it in the rack",
which is not on main.
mint validate and mint broken-links both pass.
* docs(audio): fix the four review blockers
All four verified in source before fixing; the review was right on every count.
**The registry was incomplete.** `pitchshift` ships at `audioFx.ts:509-535`
(`semitones` −12–12, `mix` 0–1, worklet-backed so neither automatable) and was
missing entirely — sixteen effects, not fifteen. It also joins the worklet list,
so five effects expose no automatable parameters rather than four.
**Three presets were missing.** `chipmunk`, `giant`, and `monster` ship at
`audioFxPresets.ts:336-357`, all built on `pitchshift`. Twenty-two presets, and
Character holds ten. Fixed in both the reference table and the Studio list.
**The copyable markup contradicted the warning above it.** The page said
`carve.mjs` only finds double-quoted attributes and then gave three
single-quoted examples — copying the chain example would make a later carve miss
the existing chain and overwrite it. All three are now double-quoted with
`"`, each followed by its unescaped reading so it stays legible.
**The attribute table over-claimed.** `data-audio-group` is a plain id, not JSON,
and is ignored on `<video>`; the other three also live on `<hf-audio-group>` for
a group. The table now carries shape and valid host per attribute.
**The automation contract was wrong on two axes.** A clip lane's `t` is
clip-relative but a GROUP lane's is composition time, because a group has no
`data-start` (`webAudioTransport.ts:337-342`, `audioMixer.ts:1311-1344`) — both
pages now split the two clocks. And `volume` is not 0–1: the ceiling is
`MAX_AUDIO_GAIN`, +12 dB or about 3.981 (`audioGain.ts:8-9`), so a boosting lane
is valid and documented.
**Current-main drift.** #3416 is merged, so the CLI now records the voices'
shared group when it is safe and falls back to clip ids when that group contains
the bed or a music/SFX member. Documented, including why neither refusal shows
up on the run that writes it, and rebased onto main.
mint validate and mint broken-links both pass.
* docs(audio): name the real add-menu family, and finish propagating pitchshift
Second review round. All three findings were my own incomplete propagation — I
corrected the reference for `pitchshift` last round and left the reader-facing
pages behind it.
**The add-menu family is `Time`, not `Space`.** `propertyPanelFxAddMenu.tsx:22-28`
labels the four groups Filters / Dynamics / Non-linear / Time, and the time group
holds pitchshift, delay, chorus, phaser, and reverb. The Studio page sent readers
looking for a group that does not exist. It is now a table naming the family and
its contents, and the reference's "Time — space and width" heading is retitled,
since that description stopped covering the family the moment pitch shift joined
it.
Also from the same file: the menu offers the named jobs in place of a bare
`peaking`, because picking `peaking` is picking a machine and leaving the real
decision — which range — for afterwards. Worth saying on the task page.
**Pitch shift was missing from both no-automation lists** that a reader actually
follows — `studio/audio-automation` and, unflagged but the same defect, the
prompting chapter. Five worklet effects in all four places now. Called out
explicitly on the Studio page, because a rising pitch is exactly the thing
someone reaches for a lane to do, and the lane will not report that it cannot.
**Narrowed the group-metadata sentence.** "The other three are JSON, and on a
group they live on `<hf-audio-group>`" swept in `data-fx-carve`, contradicting the
table directly above it. Only `data-fx-chain` and `data-automation` are group
metadata.
mint validate and mint broken-links both pass.
Per Rames: add the engine audio mixer (audioMixer.ts:350 -> ffmpeg -ss) to the
media-start-only readers — it's the live path that makes a lone data-playback-start
a shipped output bug (trimmed picture over untrimmed audio). 'Set one' isn't enough;
give the element-kind rule: <video>/<audio> use data-media-start, nested composition
uses data-playback-start (Studio writes it; it's the child-timeline offset). Also fix
editing-existing-videos.mdx, which offered both names as interchangeable for front
trim of a clip — the exact kind where they aren't.
There are ten creation workflows. The Workflows nav group held eight of them plus
`guides/export-and-share`, which is not a workflow at all — there is no such
skill, it is a finishing task. The tenth, the Remotion port, sat under
Developers > Composition, design & animation, a different tab entirely.
So: export-and-share moved to Build the project where the other task pages live,
the Remotion page moved into Workflows, and the chooser gained a tenth route. The
chooser rendered `<video>` unconditionally, which would have drawn a black
rectangle for a route with no clip — it now renders a neutral tile instead, and
custom.css styles it to the same box.
**The Prompt Guide and the workflow guides did not know about each other.** Level 1
is organised one page per workflow, and five of its six pages linked to no guide
at all. A reader learning to prompt for motion graphics never discovered
/guides/motion-graphics, and the traffic went nowhere in both directions. Each
Level 1 page now names its workflow and says what that page adds.
Four links pointed at redirects rather than the real page — /guides/claude-design,
/guides/common-mistakes, /guides/website-to-video, /guides/media-overlays. Seven
files now link to the destination directly.
Checked after: 0 broken links, 0 links via redirect.
The page promised "every prompt below has been run end-to-end", then a Note
admitted the Level 3 motion grammar was "stated once here rather than repeated in
all of them". So the printed prompts are not the prompts that produced the
embedded videos, and a reader copying one gets a different result with no way to
know why.
Rather than pretend, the page now says it plainly: each video came from the prompt
beneath it plus a shared preamble, copy both, and the preamble is labelled as the
thing to paste first. The title stays honest because the prompts *were* run — just
not alone.
Five prompts also ended on a frozen frame — "Hold on the card at the end.",
"settles on white, holds.", "then holds.", "hold.", "Hold the last 1.5s." — while
the same Note claimed every one asks for an ambient idle. motion.mdx:62 calls a
motionless hold the tell to avoid, and motion-graphics.mdx already carries the
corrected form of two of these. All five now end the way the rule says.
Measured across all 136 hand-written pages, the twelve hardest to read were all
in prompting/. These ten were untouched — 29% to 40% of their sentences ran over
28 words, against a site median under 15%.
media-and-audio 39.7% -> 6.2% 15 semicolons -> 6
visual-specs 37.1% -> 19.0% 11 -> 9
weekly-updates 39.1% -> 0.0%
runtimes-and-3d 34.1% -> 17.5%
design-systems 34.0% -> 4.3%
recreating-references 33.3% -> 7.3% 16 -> 1
storyboards 31.9% -> 5.4%
variables-and-templating 30.3% -> 7.3%
generated-artwork 29.4% -> 9.1%
explainers 29.1% -> 3.3% 12 -> 1
Word counts barely move — 1752 to 1748, 1633 to 1617 — which is the point. The
facts and worked examples all survived; the sentences carrying them got shorter.
weekly-updates is an archive, so no date, version or fact changed there at all.
One anchor came back: capstone#the-full-prompt-verbatim, which these pages link
to and which an earlier commit had already moved to #the-prompt-word-for-word.
Repointed. Branch total: 0 broken pages, 0 broken anchors.
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.
The capstone and determinism rewrites renamed headings that other pages point at.
Eighteen prompting pages linked to capstone#the-full-prompt-verbatim, which is now
'The prompt, word for word', and the rewritten determinism page invented an anchor
on frame-adapters that was never there.
Moved the links rather than restoring the old headings — 'the full prompt,
verbatim' is exactly the register the rewrite was cleaning up.
Broken anchors site-wide: 0. mint broken-links does not check anchors, so none of
this would have failed CI.
**Prompting.** These were the only two pages that stayed hard to read once the
sentence counter was corrected for bullet lists. Capstone went from 46% of
sentences over 28 words to 20%, and 53 semicolons to 42. Motion went from 37% to
15%, 26 semicolons to 4, and lost six table rows that were prose in a grid. Both
keep every technique and every worked example — the length barely moved, the
sentences did.
**Concepts.** Compositions and Determinism explain how the whole thing works and
showed the reader nothing. Each has one mermaid diagram now: how an HTML file
with data-* timing becomes a numbered sequence of frames, and why frame 90 always
comes out the same — what is locked before frame 0, and the three things that
break it.
Mermaid renders natively in Mintlify, so these cost no asset, no CDN upload and no
regeneration. Verified in the browser rather than assumed; the pattern is the one
proven on concepts/frame-adapters.
Both went to /guides/color-grading anchors that the guide rewrite removed. The
content did not disappear — it lives on /reference/color-grading as 'Animate a
supported property' and 'Limit a grade to part of the frame'. A reader clicking
either landed on the right page and scrolled nowhere.
mint broken-links does not check anchors, so CI would never have caught this.
Three things the quality layer asserted but the pages did not support.
changelog-process said "do not recreate docs/weekly-updates.mdx; that empty
public page was retired" while the page exists with a real curated feed. It
describes the page as it is: unlisted, reachable by URL and RSS, with versioned
notes still in the Changelog.
The Related-topics rule read as universal, but three different endings are in
use and each is right for its shape — Related topics on task pages, a single
Next line through the Prompt Guide's numbered sequence, and nothing on
reference and concept pages. The rule now says that, and every section matches
it; color-grading gained the Next line it was missing and no longer points at a
page this stack retired.
The vocabulary previews were 18 DocsVideo players in three unlabelled grids, so
a reader saw several near-identical clips with no way to tell smooth from
snappy. They are now native muted loops with visible captions, which is what
AGENTS.md asks for small preview loops in the first place.
Both pages explained intensity's independence by saying details and
effects are applied after the u_intensity mix. The conclusion was right
but the mechanism was wrong for several families.
Verified in the shader: applyCrtWarp runs on the uv before sampling;
sampleMedia itself carries pixelate, chromaBleed and the tape family;
sampleChromaticMedia and applyDigitalGlitch shape sampleColor — all
before the mix at runtime/colorGrading.ts:1234. Only grain,
filmArtifacts, monoScreen, engraving, crosshatch, halftone, twoInkPrint,
bloom, scanlines and vignette run after it.
Pre-mix effects are already present on both sides of
mix(sampleColor.rgb, applyColorGrade(sampleColor.rgb), u_intensity), so
intensity does not scale them either. Both pages now say details and
effects sit outside the mix — some before, some after — without making
the ordering the reason.

Both pages said intensity does not scale a grade and that 0.5 renders the
same as 0. That is wrong, and the error was mine: I tested intensity only
against twoInkPrint and tapeDamage, then generalised from an effects-only
result.
The shader mixes ungraded against graded at u_intensity
(runtime/colorGrading.ts:1234), so it does scale adjust, wheels, curves,
hueCurves, secondaries and the LUT. Runtime tests pin 0.25 and 0.75
reaching the uniform. What it does not scale is details and effects —
grain, filmArtifacts, monoScreen, engraving, crosshatch, halftone,
twoInkPrint and the tape/CRT families are all applied after that mix
(:1235-1262), which is exactly what I had measured.
Both pages now say intensity ramps the primary grade only, and to animate
the specific effect when the look is effect-based.

- Repoint the generated-artwork exit bridge at color-grading. The nav
inserted the new page between generated-artwork and vfx-and-liquid-glass
but the "Next" link still skipped it (miga-heygen, blocking).
- Correct the LUT custom property name: --hf-color-grading-lut-intensity,
not --hf-color-grading-lut. Real transcription error, surfaced while
checking the CSS-variable review comment against the source table in
packages/core/src/colorGrading.ts:921-931.
- Add #t=0.1 posterframe hints and a contextual italic caption to all ten
videos, matching the sibling prompting chapters.
- Reconcile British spelling to American throughout. The file path, nav
slug, page title and every cross-reference were already "color".
- De-duplicate the animatable-effect caveat list: the chapter now links to
the guide's Animating a Grade section instead of restating which effects
are verified working, so the list is maintained in one place.

Ten A/B demos, each with the plain-language prompt that produced it and
the payload it compiled to. Slots into Level 4 — Substance.
The chapter teaches technique and leaves the key/bound reference to the
Colour Grading guide rather than duplicating it.
Also adds two sections to docs/guides/color-grading.mdx:
- Animating a Grade — the nine CSS custom properties, plus driving the
payload from the timeline for effects that have none. Documents that
--hf-color-grading-intensity does not scale a grade at render time,
and that payload-rewrite animation is effect-dependent: verified
working for halftone and twoInkPrint, verified not working for
crtCurvature, scanlines, chromaBleed and chromaticAberration.
- Limiting a Grade to Part of the Frame — grading qualifies by value,
never by screen position, so a region has to become its own layer.
Includes the three layer recipes and a worked face-redaction example.
Previously the support matrix said "not supported" with nowhere to go.
Renders are served from the CDN; docs/images/ is gitignored.

* docs(prompting): correct workflow one-liners against skill contracts
general-video leads with its positive identity and companion mode;
faceless-explainer keys on invented visuals instead of TTS;
talking-head-recut uses the 'graphic overlays' trigger term;
motion-graphics gains its input side and overlay output;
music-to-video stops implying images are required.
* docs(prompting): make vocabulary video grids readable
Replace the 4-5 column table hack with a 3-column CSS grid,
switch demo clips to autoplay muted loops (no black poster frame,
no player chrome over tiny videos), and align cells at 16:9.
* docs(prompting): document the opening interview and run-shape questions
The guide taught prompt shapes but never prepared readers for the
conversation that follows: the intent interview, the two run-shape
questions (storyboard, automation vs companion), the just-build-it
skip, and BRIEF.md as the resumable artifact. Add that section to the
overview, a disambiguation note on the storyboards page, and free up
'companion' as a reserved term in media-and-audio.
* docs(guides): make BRIEF.md the pipeline's Step 3 artifact
Step 3 (Strategy & Messaging) listed no output while describing
exactly what BRIEF.md now captures. Name the artifact in the step
table, project tree, step body, gate, and iterating list, and fix
SCRIPT.md's step label in the tree (Step 4, not 3).
* docs(quickstart): realign the setup surface with the skills catalog
The quickstart drifted from docs/guides/skills.mdx, CLAUDE.md, and the
prompting overview — it had never been updated when those surfaces were:
- `--full-depth` on both install commands, with the reason inline. Without
it `skills add` fetches the skills.sh registry blob, which lags `main` by
hours, so a reader following the quickstart installs stale skills.
- `check` in the `/hyperframes-cli` row, and a validate step in the manual
dev loop, which went preview → render with no gate at all. The prompting
overview calls `check` "the step people skip and regret" and states both
`lint` and `check` must pass before rendering.

* docs(skills): close the catalog drift class and complete the music-to-video input
Follow-up on the two review nits from #2872.
`/music-to-video`'s SKILL.md names three inputs — an audio file, a video to
pull audio from, or a track generated from a mood brief. Every compressed copy
of that description carried only the first two, and the third is the one that
makes "a complete video needs zero assets" true. Fixed on all eight surfaces
that state it, so no surface is now more correct than its siblings: the
prompting overview and quickstart setup tables, docs/guides/skills.mdx, the
README catalog, root CLAUDE.md + AGENTS.md, both CLI project templates, and the
router's own routes/music-to-video.md Input line (whose Interview must-haves
already listed all three).
The drift was structural, not accidental: the sync set declared in
docs/guides/skills.mdx and in CLAUDE.md's "Skill catalog maintenance" named
four surfaces and never the two setup tables, so those two were free to rot
while the declared four stayed correct. Both declarations now name them, and
both say the set applies to a *changed contract* — a reworded description —
not only to an added or renamed skill.
skills-manifest.json regenerated for the touched route file.
* docs(claude): point the routing-surface rule at routes/, not the moved stubs
Item 3 of "Skill catalog maintenance" still sent readers to
`references/workflow-catalog.md` for a workflow's input/output/trigger
contract and `references/route-briefs.md` for its interview entry. Both are
now "moved" stubs — the contract and the interview entry live together in
`references/routes/<workflow>.md`, one read per candidate route.
Same failure class the previous commit fixed at item 1: a maintenance rule
outliving the layout it describes. Swept the tree for other pointers at the
two stubs; there are none, so this closes it rather than fixing one instance.
The old demo argued that a locked frame crops the story. The sharper claim is
what a cut throws away: a move carries the spatial relationship between two
shots, a cross-fade carries none.
Five stages each get their own colour and the halves diverge on how the next
colour arrives -- in place, or by travelling to it. 30-47% of pixels differ,
against 3% for every version where the WITHOUT half moved the content.
That 3% is the trap now documented in the rule: translating the scene and
translating the camera are the same transform, so sliding content past a fixed
frame is not a static comparison, it is the same shot rendered twice.
Embed is cache-busted to -v2; docs images carry immutable year-long cache, so
reusing the filename would serve returning visitors the old render.

Live telemetry panel, an isometric deploy pipeline wider than the frame, and
a progressive edge rollout across twelve regions. In each, the rule follows
from the content rather than being applied to it.
Rule 2's demo carries the strongest evidence in the chapter: deleting the
three stages the locked frame never shows and re-rendering leaves that half
identical on all 180 frames.
Rule 3 gains a rule-level distinction the rebuild surfaced — stagger what is
happening, not what is merely present.

Replaces the generic card/chip/disc subjects with ones where the rule is
unavoidable given the content: a payment sheet over a receipt, a split-flap
departure board, and a render-farm corridor.
Rules 5 and 6 in the grammar list were one-liners that under-said what their
demos prove. Rule 5 now carries the mass claim, the follow-through lag, and
the transforms-only caveat (a counter that overshoots renders a false value).
Rule 6 credits occlusion over blur and prefers one foreground element.
Section intro no longer endorses over-cranking; every movement in an applied
half has to finish "this moves because...".
