## Install

```bash Terminal
npx hyperframes add code-typing
```

That writes one file: `compositions/code-typing.html`.

## Add it to your video

It runs for 5 seconds at 1920×1080. Paste this into your composition:

```html index.html
<div
  data-composition-id="code-typing"
  data-composition-src="compositions/code-typing.html"
  data-start="0"
  data-duration="5"
  data-track-index="1"
  data-width="1920"
  data-height="1080"
></div>
```

Move it in time with `data-start`. Put it on a different timeline row with
`data-track-index`. See [data attributes](/concepts/data-attributes) for the rest.

## Add it to a project

### Ask your agent

```text
Add the Code Typing block from the HyperFrames Catalog to this project.
Replace the demo content with mine and match the existing design and timing.
```

### Install from the terminal

```bash
npx hyperframes add code-typing
```

## Use it

Ask your agent to replace the example content, match the project style, and place the block at the right moment in the video.

**Wiring it by hand.** The installed block can be added to a host composition with:

```html
<div data-composition-id="code-typing" data-composition-src="compositions/code-typing.html" data-start="0" data-duration="5" data-track-index="1" data-width="1920" data-height="1080"></div>
```
