## What
PR 5/17 of the catalog system rollout. Adds the `hyperframes add` verb for installing blocks and components from the registry into an existing project, plus the `hyperframes.json` project config that tells `add` which registry to use and where to drop files. Stacks on #255.
- **`packages/cli/src/commands/add.ts`** — new `hyperframes add <name>` command. Resolves an item, validates target paths, installs files in parallel, builds an include snippet, copies it to the clipboard. Exposes a testable `runAdd(opts)` function; the citty default wraps it with console output + exit handling
- **`packages/cli/src/utils/projectConfig.ts`** — read/write/normalize `hyperframes.json`. Tolerant to missing and partial configs
- **`packages/cli/src/utils/clipboard.ts`** — minimal cross-platform clipboard (pbcopy / clip.exe / wl-copy / xclip / xsel). Zero deps. Gracefully no-ops in headless environments
- **`packages/cli/src/commands/init.ts`** — write `hyperframes.json` during scaffold if not already present
- **`packages/cli/src/cli.ts`** + **`help.ts`** — register `add` under Getting Started (directly below `init`)
Design doc: [Hyperframes Catalog System](https://www.notion.so/heygen/Hyperframes-Catalog-System-Design-Plan-341449792c69813f899dcd53b4c0383a).
## UX
```bash
# Scaffold a project (now writes hyperframes.json too)
npx hyperframes init my-video --example blank
cd my-video
# Add a block — files land, snippet copied to clipboard
npx hyperframes add claude-code-window
# ✓ Added claude-code-window (hyperframes:block)
# compositions/claude-code-window.html
#
# Include snippet:
# <iframe src="compositions/claude-code-window.html" data-start="0" data-duration="6"></iframe>
#
# Copied to clipboard — paste into your host composition.
# Add a component effect
npx hyperframes add shader-wipe
# Headless / CI — no clipboard, JSON output for tooling
npx hyperframes add shader-wipe --no-clipboard --json
```
Running `hyperframes add warm-grain` (an example) errors clearly pointing to `init --example`.
## Docs (bundled in this PR per the tracker principle)
- `docs/packages/cli.mdx` — new `add` subsection under Commands (flags, examples, trigger rules) + new `hyperframes.json` section describing the config file shape
## Tests
- **`packages/cli/src/commands/add.test.ts`** — 11 tests:
- `remapTarget` / `buildSnippet` pure helpers (5 tests)
- `runAdd` integration against a mocked `fetch` registry: block install lands files + returns snippet, component install respects `paths.components` remap, example-typed names throw `AddError` with code `example-type`, unknown names throw `AddError` with code `unknown-item` (4 tests plus 2 covering block default path and non-default path preservation)
- **`packages/cli/src/utils/projectConfig.test.ts`** — 9 tests:
- Write/read round-trip, partial-config normalization, corrupt-file handling, absent-file fallback to defaults, custom paths preserved
- **CLI suite:** 92 passed (was 72 on #255, **+20**). Same 4 pre-existing failures unchanged
## Scope decisions
- **`init.ts` full port to new resolver deferred.** The original plan bundled a removal of the `packages/cli/src/templates/` compat shim. That's ~300 more lines and isn't required for `add` to work. The compat shim from #254 still functions; a separate cleanup PR handles it
- **No ajv runtime schema validation.** Manifests are trusted as schema-valid. Full validation lands when third-party registries arrive (PR 14/15). Path safety is still enforced by the installer's `assertSafeTarget` guard
- **Default project paths stay under `compositions/`.** Blocks → `compositions/<name>.html`; components → `compositions/components/<name>/<file>`. Users override via `hyperframes.json#paths`
## Breaking / migration
**None.** Pure additive — new command, new file types, no existing commands or flags change. `init.ts` now writes `hyperframes.json` but that's a new additional file, not a modification of existing output.

## What
PR 4/17 of the catalog system rollout. **Single clean cut** — the old flag is gone, replaced by `--example`. Alias changes from `-t` to `-e`. Stacks on #254.
- Rename `--template` → `--example` (alias `-e`) on `hyperframes init`
- Accept `--template` as a recognized-but-errored flag so users get a clear rename hint instead of citty silently ignoring the flag and producing a blank project
- Update all user-visible strings that referenced "template" as a user-facing concept in the init flow (picker prompt, step comments, offline-fallback suggestion)
- New `init.test.ts` covering both the success case (`--example` scaffolds) and the error case (`--template` exits 1 with rename hint)
Design doc: [Hyperframes Catalog System](https://www.notion.so/heygen/Hyperframes-Catalog-System-Design-Plan-341449792c69813f899dcd53b4c0383a).
## ⚠️ Breaking change
`--template` is no longer accepted. Example:
```bash
# before
npx hyperframes init my-video --template warm-grain
# after
npx hyperframes init my-video --example warm-grain
```
Users who still type the old flag will see:
```
The --template flag was renamed to --example. Example:
npx hyperframes init my-video --example warm-grain
```
and the command exits with code 1. This is **user guidance, not backwards compat** — the old flag's behavior is fully gone.
## Docs (bundled per the tracker principle)
- `docs/templates.mdx` — every `--template` reference
- `docs/quickstart.mdx` — agent-mode and video-mode examples
- `docs/packages/cli.mdx` — prose, `--help` flag table, `-e` alias
- `packages/cli/src/docs/templates.md` — CLI-embedded help topic
- `README.md` and `CONTRIBUTING.md` — not affected (no flag references)
User-facing renames of the `templates.mdx` page title, nav entry, and URL route are deferred to PR 11 (catalog discoverability UX) as planned.
## Why
1. **"examples"** matches shadcn + Remotion convention for full-project scaffolds and frees the word "template" for future parameterization work (string templating, placeholder substitution)
2. Once `hyperframes add` lands in PR 5, "template" vs "block" vs "component" would be three subtly different concepts sharing one word — renaming the old one to "example" makes the taxonomy self-explaining
## How
- **citty silently ignores unknown flags.** Naively removing `--template` would cause `hyperframes init my-video --template warm-grain` to silently fall through and scaffold a blank project. So `--template` stays declared in the args schema, but its run handler immediately errors with a rename hint and exits 1
- **Internal names unchanged** — `templateId` local variables, `getStaticTemplateDir` function, `BUNDLED_TEMPLATES` constant. They're implementation details; their rename is scheduled for PR 5 when the compat shims in `packages/cli/src/templates/` are fully removed alongside the `init` refactor
## Test plan
- [x] `bun run test` in `packages/cli`: **72 passed** (was 70 on #254, +2 new `init.test.ts` cases). Same 4 pre-existing failures unchanged
- [x] **New unit tests** in `init.test.ts`:
- `--example blank` non-interactive: exits 0, writes `index.html` to the target dir
- `--template blank` non-interactive: exits non-zero, stderr contains the rename hint + corrected command line, target dir is **not** created
- [x] **Manual smoke:**
- `npx hyperframes init /tmp/x --example blank` → "Created /tmp/x/"
- `npx hyperframes init /tmp/y --template blank` → "The --template flag was renamed to --example..." exit=1
- [x] `bunx oxfmt --check` + `bunx oxlint` on changed files: clean
- [x] Pre-commit typecheck (core + studio): clean
## Incidental fix
Resolver test regression from PR 3's simplify follow-up: `loadAllItems`' warning-path test was still spying on `console.warn` after the `onWarn` callback refactor. Now uses the callback directly.
## Stacks on
#254 — base branch. When #254 merges, this rebases onto `main`.

## What
PR 2/17 of the catalog system rollout. **Physical directory rename.** Stacks on #252.
- `git mv templates/ registry/examples/` — all 8 example directories (`decision-tree`, `kinetic-type`, `nyt-graph`, `play-mode`, `product-promo`, `swiss-grid`, `vignelli`, `warm-grain`) plus `templates.json`
- `packages/cli/src/templates/remote.ts` — `TEMPLATES_DIR` constant from `"templates"` → `"registry/examples"`, exported for regression testing
- `scripts/generate-template-previews.ts` — `remoteTemplatesDir` resolved to the new path
- Comment updates in `packages/cli/src/templates/generators.ts` and `packages/cli/src/commands/init.ts`
- New regression test `packages/cli/src/templates/remote.test.ts` pinning the path constants so future reverts fail a test instead of silently breaking installed CLIs
Design doc: [Hyperframes Catalog System](https://www.notion.so/heygen/Hyperframes-Catalog-System-Design-Plan-341449792c69813f899dcd53b4c0383a).
## Why
The current `templates/` directory is a flat "things that scaffold projects" bucket. The catalog model splits content into three tiers: **examples** (full projects — what today's templates are), **blocks** (sub-compositions), and **components** (effect snippets). `registry/examples/` is the canonical home for what was previously at `templates/`, and this PR makes room for `registry/blocks/` and `registry/components/` in future PRs without top-level clutter.
## How
- `git mv` preserves file history — GitHub renders these as renames, not deletions + additions.
- Remote template fetch via giget reads `TEMPLATES_DIR`, so updating that one constant is sufficient for the CLI's remote code path.
- The CLI's **internal** `packages/cli/src/templates/` directory (which holds the `blank` and `_shared` bundled assets plus `generators.ts`/`remote.ts`) is a separate concept and is **not** touched here. Renaming that module belongs to PR 3 where the abstraction changes to a registry resolver.
- `templates.json` keeps its existing shape and location (now at `registry/examples/templates.json`). **PR 3 will transform it** to the new `registry.json` shape introduced in PR 1 and generate a per-item `registry-item.json` for each example. Leaving the shape change to PR 3 keeps this PR a pure physical move.
## ⚠️ Breaking change for previously-installed CLIs (`hyperframes@0.1.0` – `0.3.0`)
**What happens:** every published CLI version has `TEMPLATES_DIR = "templates"` baked in. After this PR lands on `main`, those CLIs will 404 on:
- `raw.githubusercontent.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/main/templates/templates.json` (manifest list) — caught silently in `listRemoteTemplates`, so the template picker falls back to showing only `blank`
- `github:heygen-com/hyperframes/templates/<id>#main` (giget download) — raises "Template downloaded but missing index.html"
**Decision: accept the break.** Hyperframes is pre-1.0 OSS with a small installed base; complex mitigations (dual-path fetch, redirect stubs, manifest-at-old-path with empty array) add permanent maintenance cost for a one-time rename.
**Rollout plan:**
1. Merge #252 (PR 1 — types & schemas) first
2. Merge this PR (#253)
3. Ship a patched CLI release (`hyperframes@0.3.1`) in the same work-day. Already-pinned old CLIs break on remote examples, but upgrading restores full functionality
4. Note the break in release notes + `CHANGELOG.md` under the `0.3.1` entry
Users still on an older CLI will see the failure only if they invoke `hyperframes init` with `--template <non-blank>`; `--template blank` (bundled) continues to work offline on every version.
## Test plan
- [x] `bun run test` in `packages/cli`: **57 passed** (was 55 on main, +2 regression tests for the path constants). Same 4 pre-existing failures (SRT/VTT whisper normalizer + `lintProject` clean-project test) — unchanged from main. No regressions
- [x] **Manual smoke test**: `hyperframes init /tmp/x --template blank` works (bundled code path, unchanged)
- [x] `bunx oxfmt --check` + `bunx oxlint`: clean
- [x] `bun run typecheck` (core + studio, pre-commit hook): clean
- [ ] **Manual smoke test for remote fetch (`--template warm-grain`)** — not verifiable locally before merge. Remote fetch resolves `github:heygen-com/hyperframes/registry/examples/<id>#main`, which doesn't exist until this PR lands. Will work on `main` immediately after merge.
## Breaking / migration
- Internal repo path changes only. `--template` CLI flag continues to accept the same template names.
- See "Breaking change for previously-installed CLIs" above — decision is to ship a simultaneous CLI release rather than add a compat shim.
## Commits
1. `d691bd1` — initial rename + CLI path constant update
2. `fc0c642` — review feedback: docstring fix, regression tests, clarifying comment in `init.ts`, export constants for testing

## Next in stack

Add two new skill reference files that address measured LLM composition failures:
- fonts.md: Typography principles — banned fonts, guardrails for violations
(pairing two sans-serifs, defaulting to 400/700 weight), and guidance the LLM
genuinely doesn't apply without being told (register switching, tension as
meaning, easing direction as emotion). Includes Google Fonts API discovery
script with 7-category multi-strategy query.
- motion-principles.md: Motion design principles — guardrails for same-ease and
same-speed defaults, y-axis entrance monotony, and guidance for build/breathe/
resolve scene structure, hard cuts as intentional transitions, visual
composition rules for video-not-web density.
Both files validated against baseline evals: 3 compositions created without
guidance confirmed the LLM reaches for banned fonts (Inter, Cormorant Garamond,
Playfair Display, Roboto Condensed), uses power2.out on 45-72% of tweens,
enters 80%+ of elements from y-axis, and pairs multiple sans-serifs.
Also:
- Fix validate.ts $& replacement bug (runtime source containing $& caused
String.prototype.replace to re-insert the matched <script src=""> tag)
- Clean up font loading guidance across skills (compiler embeds automatically)
- Update house-style.md to reference fonts.md

* feat(cli): smart port selection with instance reuse
Replace the simple 10-port retry loop with best-in-class port handling:
- Multi-host port testing (127.0.0.1, 0.0.0.0, ::1, ::) catches ports
occupied by SSH forwarding or other interfaces invisible to localhost
- HTTP probe (/__hyperframes_config) detects existing HyperFrames
preview servers — reuses same-project instances instead of spawning
duplicates, skips different-project instances
- PID detection via lsof for actionable "Port N in use by PID X" logs
- Expanded scan range from 10 to 100 ports
- Added --force-new flag to bypass instance detection
- Async PID detection (execFile, no shell) and parallel host testing
Fixes the "10 ports are all in use" error that occurs when zombie
preview servers accumulate or devbox port forwarding occupies ports.

* feat(cli): add --list and --kill-all flags to preview command
- `hyperframes preview --list` scans the port range and displays all
active HyperFrames preview servers with their project name, directory,
and PID
- `hyperframes preview --kill-all` kills all active preview servers
- Port scanning uses parallel batched probes (20 at a time) for speed
Gives users visibility into zombie preview servers and a one-command
way to clean them up.

## Summary
- Adds `--format mov` to the render CLI for ProRes 4444 transparent video output
- ProRes 4444 with alpha is the industry standard for transparent video overlays, supported by CapCut, Final Cut, Premiere, DaVinci, and After Effects
- WebM VP9 alpha technically works but is ignored by all major video editors — only browsers decode it
- Adds MOV to the studio export dropdown alongside MP4 and WebM
## Transparency format comparison
| Format | Codec | Alpha | Video editors | Browsers | File size |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **MOV** | ProRes 4444 | Yes | CapCut, Final Cut, Premiere, DaVinci, After Effects | No (won't play in browser) | Large (~5-40 MB) |
| **WebM** | VP9 | Yes | None (shows black) | Chrome, Firefox | Small (~200 KB) |
| **MP4** | H.264 | No | All | All | Small |
> **Note:** ProRes MOV files do not play in Chromium browsers — they are an intermediate/editing format, not a delivery format. Use [rotato.app/tools/transparent-video](https://rotato.app/tools/transparent-video) to verify transparency works correctly.
## Changes
- **CLI**: Add `mov` to `--format` validation, examples, and output path logic
- **Engine**: `getEncoderPreset()` returns ProRes 4444 (`yuva444p10le`) for `mov` format; handle `.mov` in `applyFaststart` and `muxVideoWithAudio`; add `pix_fmt` to streaming encoder ProRes path
- **Producer**: Treat `mov` like `webm` for alpha capture (PNG frames, screenshot mode, `forceScreenshot`)
- **Studio**: Add MOV option to export format dropdown and render queue hook
- **Core**: Add `mov` to studio API types, render route, and mime helpers
- **Tests**: Add encoder preset tests for mov format (42 total, all passing)
## Usage
```bash
hyperframes render --format mov --output overlay.mov
```
## Test plan
- [x] `pnpm build` passes
- [x] `pnpm --filter @hyperframes/engine test` — 42 tests pass (2 new for MOV)
- [x] `oxlint` and `oxfmt` clean on all 12 changed files
- [x] End-to-end local render produces ProRes 4444 (`yuva444p12le`) with working alpha
- [x] Docker render with `--format mov` — ProRes 4444 confirmed via ffprobe
- [x] Studio dropdown shows MOV option in built JS
- [x] Transparency verified with [rotato.app/tools/transparent-video](https://rotato.app/tools/transparent-video)
## Summary
- **The `--docker` flag was a no-op stub** — `renderDocker` called the same local `executeRenderJob` as `renderLocal`, no container was ever launched
- Now `renderDocker` generates a Dockerfile, builds a versioned `hyperframes-renderer:<version>` image with Chrome/FFmpeg/fonts/chrome-headless-shell, and runs the render inside a container
- Image is cached per CLI version — first render builds (~2 min), subsequent renders reuse it
- Forces `linux/amd64` platform since chrome-headless-shell has no ARM Linux binary
- Uses `execFileSync` (array form) throughout to prevent shell injection
- Forwards `--quiet`, `--gpu`, and render config flags into the container
- `Dockerfile.render` added as a reference for manual builds
## Test plan
- [x] `hyperframes render --docker` builds image and produces valid MP4
- [x] Second run reuses cached image (no rebuild)
- [x] `--quiet` suppresses container output while keeping stderr for errors
- [x] Typecheck, lint, format all pass
- [ ] Verify `--gpu` with `--docker` on a machine with GPU access
🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
## Summary
One-character fix: removes leading `/` from the preview URL hash.
Dev mode opened `#/project/<name>` but the studio expects `#project/<name>`. The route regex in `App.tsx` (`/^#project\/([^/]+)/`) never matched the slash-prefixed hash, so it fell through to auto-selecting the first project from `/api/projects` — ignoring the project path you passed on the CLI.
## Root cause
```
// preview.ts dev mode (line 176) — WRONG
`${frontendUrl}#/project/${pName}`
// App.tsx route parser (line 34) — expects this format
window.location.hash.match(/^#project\/([^/]+)/)
```
Local-studio mode and embedded mode already used the correct `#project/` format.
## Test plan
- [x] Typecheck passes
- [x] `npx tsx cli preview /path/to/project` opens the correct project in the studio
* refactor(skills): consolidate 15 skills into 3 for better trigger reliability
Merge 9 GSAP skills (core, timeline, scrolltrigger, plugins, utils, react,
frameworks, performance, effects) and 6 HyperFrames skills (compose, captions,
tts, audio-reactive, marker-highlight, cli) into 3 consolidated skills:
- `gsap` — core API + timelines + performance in SKILL.md; scrolltrigger,
plugins, utils, react, frameworks, effects in references/
- `hyperframes` — composition authoring rules in SKILL.md; captions, tts,
audio-reactive, marker-highlight in references/
- `hyperframes-cli` — CLI commands (init, lint, preview, render, etc.)
Why: With 15 separate skills, agents must correctly trigger the right subset
for any task. "Create an animated video with captions" needed 6+ skills to
fire — each with ~90% trigger accuracy means ~53% chance of getting all of
them. With 3 skills, that same task needs just `hyperframes` + `gsap` (~90%
both fire). Progressive disclosure still works via references/ files loaded
on demand.
Also fixes: CLAUDE.md referenced `window.__GSAP_TIMELINE` (incorrect) —
corrected to `window.__timelines`.

- audio-reactive: restore sampling frequency pattern (per-frame tl.call
loop vs single tween) and textShadow-on-container gotcha
- effects/typewriter: restore word rotation, appending words, spacing
with static text, and multi-line cursor handoff patterns
- effects/audio-visualizer: restore spatial mapping conventions, fetch vs
inline loading, WebGL/DOM rendering approaches, and canvas layering
- hyperframes-cli: restore --strict-all flag in render flags table

## Summary
Two independent initiatives that improve agent DX and expand HyperFrames' reach.
### Initiative 1: Fix the Clip Animation Footgun
- `gsap_animates_clip_element` lint rule now uses smart detection — only errors when GSAP animates `visibility` or `display` on a clip element
- All other properties (opacity, transform, x, y, scale, etc.) are allowed silently
- This was the #1 agent failure in QA (10/10 agents hit it on v0.2.1)
### Initiative 2: `<hyperframes-player>` Web Component
- New `@hyperframes/player` package — zero dependencies, 3.3KB gzipped
- Iframe-based web component with Shadow DOM for perfect isolation
- Video-like API: `play()`, `pause()`, `seek()`, `currentTime`, `duration`, events
- Controls overlay with play/pause, scrubber (mouse + touch), time display, auto-hide
- Full docs page at `docs/packages/player.mdx`
## Before / After
### Clip animation lint
**Before (10/10 agents hit this):**
```
✗ gsap_animates_clip_element: GSAP animation targets a clip element.
Selector "#title" resolves to element <div id="title" class="clip">.
The framework manages clip visibility — animate an inner wrapper instead.
Fix: Wrap content in a child <div> and target that with GSAP.
```
**After (only errors on actual conflicts):**
```
# This passes lint — no error:
tl.from("#title", { opacity: 0, y: -50, scale: 0.8 }, 0);
# This still errors — actual conflict with runtime:
tl.to("#title", { visibility: "hidden" }, 3);
✗ gsap_animates_clip_element: GSAP animation sets visibility on a clip element.
Fix: Remove the visibility/display tween. Use opacity for fade effects.
```
### Embeddable player
**Before:** No way to embed a composition in a web page.
**After:**
```html
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@hyperframes/player"></script>
<hyperframes-player src="./composition/index.html" controls></hyperframes-player>
```
```js
const player = document.querySelector('hyperframes-player');
player.play();
player.pause();
player.seek(2.5);
player.addEventListener('ready', (e) => console.log('Duration:', e.detail.duration));
```
## Test plan
- [x] 427 core tests pass (20 GSAP lint tests with smart detection)
- [x] 7 player tests pass (formatTime + element registration)
- [x] TypeScript compiles cleanly (core + player)
- [x] Lint: GSAP animating clip with safe props → 0 errors
- [x] Lint: GSAP animating clip with `visibility` → 1 error (correct)
- [x] Player builds to 3.3KB gzipped ESM
- [x] Lockfile updated for CI
- [x] Docs page added at `docs/packages/player.mdx`
## Summary
Addresses all 8 issues from the QA report to improve agent and user experience.
### P0 — Must Fix
- **Blank template broken captions**: Removed `compositions/captions.html` and its reference from the blank template. Every agent (10/10) hit 404 errors during render.
- **Inner-wrapper example**: Added a clear structural comment in the blank template showing the correct `class="clip"` + inner wrapper pattern.
- **Sub-composition introspection**: `hyperframes compositions` now reads external HTML files referenced via `data-composition-src` and shows their real duration/element count instead of `0.0s / 0 elements`.
### P1 — Fix Soon
- **Font mapping warnings**: Now lists all mapped fonts, suggests alternatives (use a mapped font, add @font-face, install locally), and links to docs.
- **Browser 404s**: Non-font "Failed to load resource" 404s now prefixed with `[non-blocking]` instead of `[Browser:ERROR]`.
- **Render concurrency**: Default workers increased from `cores/2` (max 4) to `cores*3/4` (max 6). Added `--concurrency` alias.
### P2 — Nice to Have
- **Transform conflict fix suggestion**: `gsap_css_transform_conflict` now suggests exact GSAP property replacements (e.g., `xPercent: -50, yPercent: -50`).
- **Upgrade --yes**: Now actually runs the install instead of just printing the command.
## Before / After
### Font mapping warning
**Before:**
```
[Compiler] No deterministic font mapping for: DM Sans
```
**After:**
```
[Compiler] No deterministic font mapping for: DM Sans
Mapped fonts: arial → inter, courier → jetbrains-mono, ...
To fix, pick one:
1. Use a mapped font name instead (see list above)
2. Add a @font-face block in your HTML with a local or hosted font file
3. Install the font locally on the render machine (Docker: add to Dockerfile)
4. Add an alias to FONT_ALIASES in deterministicFonts.ts (for contributors)
```
### Browser 404s during render
**Before:** `[Browser:ERROR] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404`
**After:** `[non-blocking] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404`
### Transform conflict lint
**Before:** `Fix: Remove the transform from CSS and use tl.fromTo...`
**After:** `Fix: Remove transform: translate(-50%, -50%) from CSS and replace with GSAP properties: xPercent: -50, yPercent: -50`
### Compositions command
**Before:**
```
overlay 0.0s 1920×1080 0 elements
```
**After:**
```
overlay 8.0s 1920×1080 2 elements ← compositions/overlay.html
```
## Test plan
- [x] All 422 core tests pass
- [x] TypeScript compiles cleanly (all 4 packages)
- [x] Full monorepo build succeeds
- [x] `hyperframes init --template blank` ships without broken captions reference
Replace the static "Tip" message at the end of `hyperframes init` with an
interactive prompt that offers to install AI coding skills. When the user
accepts, the skills command runs `npx skills add` with `--all` and
`stdio: "inherit"` so the native installer output is visible.

* feat(cli): add skills command that installs all without selection
Wraps `npx skills add --all -g` so users don't need to manually
select skills or targets. Just run `hyperframes skills` and everything
gets installed to all supported AI tools.

## Summary
- **`info`** **command** now reads actual `data-width`/`data-height` from the root composition element instead of hardcoding 1920x1080 or 1080x1920 based on a parser heuristic that defaults to "portrait"
- **Update check** now uses proper semver comparison instead of string inequality (`!== VERSION`). Previously reported "update available" when installed `0.2.1` and npm had `0.2.0`
**Part 2 of 5** in a stacked PR series fixing E2E test findings.
## Test plan
- [x] `npx hyperframes info` on a 1920x1080 project shows "1920x1080" (not "1080x1920")
- [x] `npx hyperframes info --json` returns correct width/height fields
- [x] Version check no longer reports downgrade as available update
Move per-command examples from the centralized `help.ts` record into
each command file as `export const examples: Example[]`. help.ts now
dynamically imports them at --help time.
This means adding a new command and its examples happens in one file
instead of two, reducing the chance of forgetting examples.

* feat(cli): add `tts` command for local text-to-speech via Kokoro-82M
Adds `hyperframes tts` — generate speech audio locally using Kokoro-82M
(ONNX), no API key needed. Mirrors the transcribe command architecture.
- New command: `hyperframes tts "text" --voice af_heart --output speech.wav`
- 54 voices across 8 languages, ~5x realtime on CPU
- Auto-downloads model (~311 MB) + voices (~27 MB) to ~/.cache/hyperframes/tts/
- Requires Python 3.8+ with kokoro-onnx installed
- Extracted shared `downloadFile` utility from whisper/manager.ts with
atomic .tmp→rename to prevent partial download corruption
- Added hyperframes-tts skill with voice selection guide
- Updated CLAUDE.md with TTS docs, voice table, and skill reference
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(tts): improve skill per skill-creator guidelines
- Move trigger info from body to frontmatter description
- Remove `trigger` field (not a valid frontmatter field)
- Remove CLI flag docs Claude can derive from --help
- Remove redundant voice tables (keep content-to-voice mapping)
- Fix composition audio example to use actual <audio> element pattern
- Keep non-obvious workflows: TTS+transcribe for captions, long scripts
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(tts): add guidance for using external TTS sources

## Summary
- Rewrite script-to-style mapping as an energy detection table (high → low) with mandatory animation requirements: karaoke baseline, 2+ highlight techniques, kinetic exits
- Replace `tl.call()` per-frame audio-reactive pattern with group-level GSAP tweens — read peak bass/treble for each group's time range and modulate entrance intensity at build time, no per-frame callbacks needed
- Add transcript quality check with automatic retry rules (>20% music tokens = retry with larger model)
- Add caption word structure lint rule (`.caption-group` + `<span>`) for studio editor compatibility
- Add multilingual model guidance and decision tree for model selection
## Test plan
- [ ] Skill files render correctly as markdown
- [ ] Cross-references between SKILL.md, dynamic-techniques.md, and transcript-guide.md resolve correctly
- [ ] `dynamic-techniques.md` audio-reactive section uses `tl.to()`/`tl.set()` only, no `tl.call()` loops
🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
## Summary
**Whisper improvements:**
- Auto-detect language and switch from `.en` to multilingual model when needed
- Detect speech onset in WAV to strip hallucinated words before speech begins
- Merge whisper-cpp token fragments: contractions (`didn` + `'t` → `didn't`), split capitals (`C` + `aught` → `Caught`), dropped-g (`shin` + `in'` → `shinin'`)
- Interpolate zero-duration word clusters for reliable karaoke timing
**Captions skill updates (folded from #176):**
- Rewrite script-to-style mapping as an energy detection table (high → low) with mandatory animation requirements: karaoke baseline, 2+ highlight techniques, kinetic exits
- Replace `tl.call()` per-frame audio-reactive pattern with group-level GSAP tweens — read peak bass/treble for each group's time range and modulate entrance intensity at build time
- Add transcript quality check with automatic retry rules (>20% music tokens = retry with larger model)
- Add caption word structure lint rule (`.caption-group` + `<span>`) for studio editor compatibility
**Multilingual defaults (folded from #186):**
- Default whisper model changed from `small.en` to `small` to prevent silent translation of non-English audio
- Added non-negotiable language rule to captions skill
## Test plan
- [ ] `pnpm test` passes (contraction merging, fragment merging, zero-duration interpolation, speech onset)
- [ ] Transcribe non-English audio — verify it transcribes in original language, not translates
- [ ] Skill files render correctly, cross-references resolve
- [ ] `dynamic-techniques.md` audio-reactive section uses `tl.to()`/`tl.set()` only, no `tl.call()` loops

* feat(cli): improve --help with grouped commands and per-command examples
Replaces citty's flat COMMANDS list with kubectl-style grouped categories
and adds examples to every subcommand. Root help now groups 14 commands
into 5 categories (Getting Started, Project, Tooling, AI & Integrations,
Settings). Per-command --help now appends a formatted Examples section

## What
Added progress reporting to the skills installation process by converting synchronous operations to asynchronous ones and implementing progress callbacks.
## Why
The skills installation process can take a significant amount of time, especially when cloning repositories or running npm operations. Users need feedback about what's happening during the installation to understand progress and know the system hasn't frozen.
## How
- Converted `execFileSync` calls to a new `execFileAsync` function using promises
- Made all installation functions (`runSkillsAdd`, `gitClone`, `fetchRepo`, `fallbackInstall`) asynchronous
- Added an optional `onProgress` callback parameter to `installAllSkills` that accepts progress messages
- Integrated progress reporting in the `init` command by passing spinner message updates to the progress callback
- Added progress messages for key installation steps like "Installing {source} skills..." and "Cloning skill repositories..."
- Added "giget" to the external dependencies list in the build configuration
## Test plan
- [ ] Unit tests added/updated
- [ ] Manual testing performed
- [ ] Documentation updated (if applicable)
* feat(cli): add remote template fetching via giget
* fix: update remote.ts to use templates/ instead of examples/
* fix(cli): validate template ID against manifest before downloading
Fails fast with available template list instead of downloading
an empty directory for nonexistent templates.
* refactor(cli): simplify to single --template flag with dynamic validation
- Remove --example flag (--template handles bundled + remote)
- Remove static ALL_TEMPLATE_IDS list (validates against GitHub manifest)
- No CLI release needed to add new templates — just add to templates/ and templates.json
- scaffoldProject auto-detects bundled vs remote
* chore: update lockfiles for giget dependency
* fix(cli): remove undefined isAudioOnly reference
## Summary
- **Streamline init from 7 steps to 3**: name → template → auto-opens studio preview
- **Remove** interactive "Got a video or audio file?" prompt (`--video`/`--audio` flags still work)
- **Remove** "What do you want to do?" post-scaffold menu (auto-launches preview)
- **Fast startup**: `--version` exits in ~10ms (lazy-load telemetry + update checker)
- **Brand teal**: CLI accent color is now `#3CE6AC` instead of generic cyan
### Before
```
name → overwrite? → media file? → [drag file] → transcribe? → pick template (9) → what next?
```
### After
```
name → pick template → auto-opens studio
```
## Test plan
- [x] `hyperframes init my-project` — should prompt name + template, then auto-open preview
- [x] `hyperframes --version` — should print version instantly (~10ms)
- [x] `hyperframes init --video path.mp4 my-project` — video flag still works
- [x] `hyperframes init --template blank my-project` — template flag still works
- [x] Verify teal accent color in terminal output
Displays a white → #74E1B9 → #6ADCFF gradient HYPERFRAMES banner

* 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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* 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.

* feat(cli,core): add standalone transcribe command, transcript normalization, and caption lint rules
- Add `hyperframes transcribe` command for transcribing audio/video and importing
existing transcripts (SRT, VTT, OpenAI Whisper API JSON, whisper.cpp JSON)
- Add transcript format normalizer (normalize.ts) with auto-detection and
conversion to standard [{text, start, end}] word arrays
- Upgrade default whisper model from base.en to small.en for better accuracy
- Add --model and --language flags to both `transcribe` and `init` commands
- Extract shared patchCaptionHtml() to eliminate duplication between init.ts
and transcribe.ts (init.ts reduced by ~55 lines)
- Add 3 caption lint rules: caption_exit_missing_hard_kill,
caption_text_overflow_risk, caption_container_relative_position
- Update captions skill with model guide, format docs, music guidance,
text overflow prevention, caption exit guarantee pattern
- Expand captions skill trigger to cover lyrics, karaoke, lyric videos

* fix(cli): fix blank template lint issues
- blank/index.html: remove data-start from video (was nested in timed parent),
add class="clip" for initial hidden state
- blank/captions.html: add max-width + overflow:hidden to prevent text clipping,
add tl.set hard kill after exit tween to prevent stuck captions

## Summary
- Respect `--json` flag on all lint exit paths so agents always get machine-readable output
- Separate `infoCount` from `warningCount` in linter results (was conflated)
- Display `info` vs `warning` severity distinctly in lint output
* fix(lint): detect GSAP animations targeting clip elements (tab crash)
The runtime manages clip visibility via inline styles. When GSAP also
writes inline styles on the same element, both systems trigger style
recalculations every frame, creating a runaway loop that crashes the
browser tab.
New rule gsap_animates_clip_element (error severity):
- Builds map of all elements with class="clip" (by id and class)
- Checks if any GSAP selector resolves to a clip element
- Nested selectors like "#overlay .title" are correctly ignored
- Merged into existing GSAP script loop (no redundant parsing)
* fix: remove non-null assertions and add missing test coverage
- Replace `!` assertions with optional chaining in lint.ts and tests
- Add shouldBlockRender tests for --strict-all without --strict
- Add clip element test for class-only detection (no id)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: use optional chaining for array access in lintProject tests
TypeScript's strict mode flags array indexing as possibly undefined.
Use optional chaining and fallbacks instead of non-null assertions.

## Summary
- **Lint rules** catch media elements missing `id` (renderer silently skips them), missing `src`, `preload="none"` (blocks renderer), and video nested in timed divs (freezes playback). Upgraded `video_nested_in_timed_element` from warning to error.
- **Compiler** strips `preload="none"` from media during compilation. Runs parallel, cached keyframe interval analysis via ffprobe — warns on sparse keyframes (>2s) that cause seek failures and audio/video desync. Suggested ffmpeg command preserves audio (`-c:a copy`).
- **Pre-render lint** lints `index.html` + all `compositions/*.html` sub-compositions before render via shared `lintProject()` helper. Warns by default; `--strict` blocks on errors, `--strict-all` blocks on errors + warnings.
- **Render orchestrator** logs a hint to retry with `--workers 1` when parallel capture times out on video-heavy compositions.
- **Refactor**: extracted `runFfprobe()` + `parseProbeJson()` helpers to deduplicate ~80 lines of spawn boilerplate across 3 ffprobe functions. Extracted `shouldBlockRender()` so strict flag tests exercise production code. Shared `lintProject()` used by both `lint` and `render` commands.
## Context
Discovered during a real composition build session where:
1. `<audio>` without `id` rendered silently (preview worked fine because runtime queries `[data-start]`, but renderer queries `[id][src]`)
2. `<video>` inside timed `<div>` froze on first frame
3. `preload="none"` caused 45s renderer timeout
4. YouTube clips with sparse keyframes from `yt-dlp --download-sections` caused audio/video desync
5. Parallel workers timed out on video-heavy compositions
## Test plan
- [x] Core: 365/365 tests passing (5 new lint tests)
- [x] Engine: 24/24 tests passing
- [x] CLI: 14/14 tests passing (7 lintProject + 7 shouldBlockRender)
- [x] Lint + format hooks pass
- [ ] Manual: create a composition with `<audio data-start="0" src="test.wav">` (no id) — verify `npx hyperframes lint` catches it
- [ ] Manual: run `npx hyperframes render --strict` with lint errors — verify it blocks
- [ ] Manual: run `npx hyperframes render --strict-all` with lint warnings — verify it blocks
## Summary
- `hyperframes lint` now scans ALL HTML files in the project (not just index.html)
- Includes composition files in `compositions/` directory
- `--json` output includes `file` field and `filesScanned` count
- Exit code 1 on errors for CI integration
## Examples
```bash
# Human-friendly output
hyperframes lint
# Agent/CI-friendly JSON
hyperframes lint --json
```
## Test plan
- [ ] `hyperframes lint` on a project with compositions → shows findings from all files
- [ ] `hyperframes lint --json` → outputs valid JSON with all findings
- [ ] Exit code 1 when errors found, 0 when clean
## Summary
- When running `hyperframes dev .` inside a symlinked directory, the project name showed the resolved target name instead of the visible directory name
- Now uses `$PWD` to preserve the user-facing name
- Added `projectName` option to `StudioServerOptions` for explicit override
## Test plan
- [ ] `ln -s /path/to/project my-project && cd my-project && hyperframes dev .` → should show "my-project"
- [ ] `hyperframes dev /path/to/project` → should show "project" (basename of path)
## Summary
- CLI render: use timestamped filenames (`project_date_time.ext`) matching the studio's naming convention, preventing overwrites of previous renders
- studioServer: read `fps`/`quality`/`format` from POST body instead of hardcoding `fps:30`/`quality:standard`/`mp4`
- studioServer: use timestamped job IDs matching the studio pattern
- studioServer: fix download endpoint to serve correct content-type for WebM
## Test plan
- [x] `hyperframes render --format webm` outputs timestamped WebM file
- [x] `hyperframes render` outputs timestamped MP4 (no overwrite)
- [x] Studio embedded server (`hyperframes dev`) renders with correct format when selected in UI
- [x] Download endpoint serves correct MIME type for WebM renders
* feat(cli): add system metrics to telemetry and expand doctor command
Enrich render telemetry with device/environment metadata (CPU, memory,
OS, Docker/CI/WSL detection) following patterns from Next.js and
Turborepo. Add speed_ratio (render time / composition duration),
per-frame capture timing, and resource usage to render events.
Expand the doctor command with CPU, memory, disk, /dev/shm, and
environment checks to help debug rendering issues on user machines.

- Init "next steps" now leads with opening in an AI agent as step 1,
followed by dev preview and render as steps 2 and 3
- Interactive init shows a tip about AI agent workflow after scaffolding
- Dev command output hints that compositions can be edited with an
AI agent and changes reload automatically in the studio
- Interactive wizard is now the default when running in a TTY terminal
- Non-interactive mode (for CI/agents) uses --non-interactive flag
- Template defaults to "blank" when not specified in non-interactive mode
- --template flag skips the template picker prompt in interactive mode
- Replaces --human-friendly flag with --non-interactive (inverted logic)
- Compute CPU_CORE_COUNT once at module level instead of calling cpus()
multiple times
- Make RenderOptions.workers required (number, not optional) — the
caller resolves the default, callees don't re-derive it
- Remove redundant existsSync guard before mkdirSync({recursive})
- Trim oversized JSDoc on defaultWorkerCount

Replace the hardcoded default of 4 workers with a CPU-aware heuristic:
half of available CPU cores, capped at 4. Each worker spawns a separate
Chrome browser process (~256MB RAM each), so the previous default of 4
caused resource contention on smaller machines.
The new defaults:
2-core laptop → 1 worker
4-core laptop → 2 workers
8-core desktop → 4 workers
16-core server → 4 workers (capped)
Also adds --workers auto flag support, improves help text to explain
what workers do, and adds a Workers section to the rendering docs with
guidance on when to increase or decrease parallelism.

- Primary path: `npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes` and
`npx skills add greensock/gsap-skills` with `-g -y -a <agent>` flags
- Git clone + copy kept as fallback if npx is unavailable
- Added `skillsAgent` field to targets mapping CLI flags to the correct
agent names (e.g., gemini → gemini-cli)

New HyperFrames projects created via `hyperframes init` now include:
- CLAUDE.md + AGENTS.md — teaches AI agents about skills, commands,
project structure, and framework rules (class="clip", timeline
registration, determinism). Agents know to invoke /compose-video
before writing compositions.
- .claude/skills/{compose-video,captions} — project-level skills for
immediate availability in the current agent session (global skills
require a session restart to discover).
- Updated next-steps output with `hyperframes docs <topic>` and a
link to hyperframes.heygen.com.
- Updated README with "AI Agent Skills" section documenting
`npx hyperframes skills` and `npx skills add` install paths.
- Repo-level CLAUDE.md for framework contributors.

The SIGINT handlers that were meant to do graceful cleanup (close server,
remove symlinks) override Node's default exit behavior. If the cleanup
hangs (e.g. server.close() blocked by open connections), the process is
stuck and Ctrl+C does nothing.
Fix: don't intercept SIGINT at all. Node's default behavior exits the
process immediately on Ctrl+C. The OS reclaims the port and file handles.
Use process.on("exit") for best-effort symlink cleanup instead.
Also fixes running the CLI via `tsx` in dev mode — __CLI_VERSION__ is a
tsup build-time define that crashes at runtime without a fallback.

The embedded dev server (hyperframes dev) silently reported success even
when the requested port was already in use (e.g., by Cursor IDE on 3002).
This happened because the old isPortAvailable() probe had a TOCTOU race
and findAvailablePort() silently fell back to the original port on exhaustion.
Replace with serveWithPortFallback() that binds the real Hono server
directly via createAdaptorServer + manual listen(), retrying on EADDRINUSE.
Shows a yellow warning when auto-incrementing and a clear error when all
ports are exhausted.

- Producer: document format field in RenderConfig, WebM usage example,
pipeline steps updated for WebM
- CLI: add render command examples in --help (including WebM overlay)

Support rendering compositions with transparent backgrounds via
`--format webm`. VP9+alpha is the standard format for overlayable
video (captions, lower thirds, overlays).
Changes by layer:
- CLI: `--format mp4|webm` flag on render command
- Producer: threads format through RenderConfig, switches to PNG
capture and VP9 encoding when webm
- Engine: getEncoderPreset() returns VP9 config with yuva420p;
transparent page background via CDP when capturing PNG;
mux uses Opus audio for WebM; VP9 flags from production:
-row-mt 1, -auto-alt-ref 0, alpha_mode=1 metadata
- Frame capture: Emulation.setDefaultBackgroundColorOverride a=0

- New `updateCheck.ts` utility: cached npm registry check (24h TTL),
sync `getUpdateMeta()` for _meta envelope, `printUpdateNotice()` for
passive stderr banner
- `upgrade --check --json`: machine-readable version check for AI agents
Returns { current, latest, updateAvailable }
- `_meta` envelope on all --json commands (info, lint, benchmark,
compositions): includes version, latestVersion, updateAvailable
- `doctor` shows version check as first row
- Passive update notice on stderr after command completes (skipped in
CI, non-TTY, --json, --quiet)
- Background check fires on startup (non-blocking, populates cache)
