James RussoandClaude Opus 4.6 2f99e33bbe feat(cli,core): standalone transcribe command, transcript normalization, caption lint rules (#151)
* 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

* docs: add lint-after-edit rule to repo and project CLAUDE.md

Agents must run `npx hyperframes lint` after editing compositions.
Also expand captions skill description in project template.

hyperframes

CLI for creating, previewing, and rendering HTML video compositions.

npm install -g hyperframes

Or use directly with npx:

npx hyperframes <command>

# Studio running at http://localhost:3002

npx hyperframes dev --port 4567

render

npx hyperframes render ./my-composition.html -o output.mp4

lint

Validate your Hyperframes HTML:

npx hyperframes lint ./my-composition
npx hyperframes lint ./my-composition --json      # JSON output for CI/tooling
npx hyperframes lint ./my-composition --verbose   # Include info-level findings

By default only errors and warnings are shown. Use --verbose to also display informational findings (e.g., external script dependency notices). Use --json for machine-readable output with errorCount, warningCount, infoCount, and a findings array.
