Distribution PR for the variables feature stack: tells agents how to
declare, read, and override variables across the four authoring
surfaces.
skills/hyperframes/SKILL.md:
- Added data-variable-values + data-composition-variables to the
data-attributes tables (host element + <html> root respectively).
- New "Variables (Parametrized Compositions)" section right after
"Composition Structure". Three-step pattern (declare / read /
override), full worked example with enum variable, sub-comp
per-instance pattern with two hosts sharing a source, and rules
of thumb (always provide defaults; read once, not in frame loops;
use --strict-variables in CI; type validation behavior).
skills/hyperframes-cli/SKILL.md:
- Added --variables, --variables-file, --strict-variables to the
render flag table.
- Short paragraph below the table explaining the parametrized-render
pattern with a forward reference to the hyperframes skill.
docs/packages/core.mdx:
- Added a code snippet showing getVariables<T>() inside a composition
and validateVariables/formatVariableValidationIssue for tooling.
packages/cli/src/docs/compositions.md (the in-CLI `npx hyperframes
docs compositions` content):
- Replaced the hand-rolled JSON.parse(host.dataset.variableValues)
pattern with the modern getVariables() pattern.
This is PR 4 of the 4-PR stack. The openai/plugins mirror is a
separate follow-up.

## Summary
- replace the unsupported `data-var-*` example with the current `data-variable-values` pattern
- document that variable values are carried through but still applied manually inside the nested composition
- add matching reference notes in the data-attributes, HTML schema, core package, and CLI docs
## Verification
- `npx mintlify dev --port 3100`
- browser verification with `agent-browser` on `/concepts/compositions` and `/reference/html-schema`
- proof artifacts saved locally under `tmp/issue-416-docs/`
## 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.
## Stacks on
#255 — base branch. When #255 merges, this rebases onto `main`.
## Next in stack
PR 6 — `feat(registry): seed block — claude-code-window`. First real registry item. Exercises the full `hyperframes add <name>` flow end-to-end against a committed item on `main`.

* feat(skills): add hyperframes-cli skill for CLI workflow guidance
Adds a new skill that teaches AI agents how to use the HyperFrames CLI
(init, lint, dev, render, doctor). Previously, agents had no way to
discover the CLI — the compose-video skill only covered HTML authoring.
This led to agents searching for binaries, finding the monorepo, and
running bun run studio manually instead of using npx hyperframes dev.
Also registers the skill in init.ts so new projects get it bundled
alongside hyperframes-compose and hyperframes-captions.

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

* fix(skills): replace stale dev reference with preview in CLI skill

* fix(docs): catch remaining dev references missed in rename
- testing-local-changes.mdx: two inline command examples
- troubleshooting.mdx: anchor link #dev → #preview, "dev server" → "preview server"
- cli.mdx: "dev server" → "preview server"

* fix(ci): update publish workflow to use bun install
pnpm-lock.yaml was removed in the bun migration but publish.yml
still referenced it. Use bun for install/build, keep pnpm for
publish (publishConfig overrides + --provenance).
* docs: update stale pnpm references to bun across docs and scripts
