<Note>
  HyperFrames is free and open-source, and local rendering does not use HeyGen credits. Your coding
  agent and any optional hosted, voice, avatar, or generated-media services may have their own
  costs.

## The short way: hand it to your agent

If you already have a coding agent open in a folder, paste this and skip the
rest of the page. It installs the skills, makes the video, and opens the
preview — you only change the URL.

```text
Set this folder up for HyperFrames and make me a video.

1. Run: npx hyperframes skills update
2. Then, using /hyperframes, make a 10-second product intro for https://example.com
3. Open the local preview when it is done and tell me the project folder.
```

Swap `https://example.com` for the page you want the video to show. Everything
below is the same thing done by hand, if you would rather see each step.

## 1. Install the skills

Run this in your project folder:

```bash
npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes --full-depth
```

Choose **Core Skills** in the picker. Keep `--full-depth` so the installer uses the current repository version. Then open or restart your coding agent in that folder.

## 2. Ask for the video

```text
Using /hyperframes, make a 10-second product intro for https://example.com.
```

Replace `https://example.com` with the real page you want the video to show. The agent will propose
a direction and ask for anything important that is missing. You do not need to write a production
specification.

## 3. Continue from the first version

The agent leaves you with an editable project folder and opens its local preview.
To reopen that preview later, run `npx hyperframes preview` inside the project
folder. Watch the first version once and check the story, facts, readable text,
and sound; it is not a guaranteed final cut. All three paths below work with
the same project.
