Use this page to choose a command. The [CLI reference](/packages/cli) contains
detailed flags, examples, and environment settings. The installed version
remains authoritative: run `npx hyperframes <command> --help`.

## Everyday project loop

| Task | Command |
| --- | --- |
| Create a project | `npx hyperframes init my-video` |
| Open Studio | `npx hyperframes preview` |
| Check HTML structure | `npx hyperframes lint` |
| Run browser, layout, motion, and contrast checks | `npx hyperframes check` |
| Capture review frames | `npx hyperframes snapshot --at 0,2,5` |
| Render a video | `npx hyperframes render --output output.mp4` |
| Publish a browser link | `npx hyperframes publish` |

## Work with media

## Reuse and inspect

| Task | Command |
| --- | --- |
| Add a Catalog item | `npx hyperframes add <name>` |
| List compositions | `npx hyperframes compositions` |

## Rendering and automation

The CLI also renders in batches and from variables, writes image sequences and
several video formats, and runs in the cloud — managed, on AWS Lambda, or on
Google Cloud Run. Most commands take `--json` when you need to read the result from a script.

Start with the simple command, then open the [full reference](/packages/cli) for the exact options needed by automation or infrastructure.

<Tip>
  Run `npx hyperframes <command> --help` for the installed version’s exact syntax.
