* 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.

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.

hyperframes
CLI for creating, previewing, and rendering HTML video compositions.
Install
npm install -g hyperframes
Or use directly with npx:
npx hyperframes <command>
Requirements: Node.js >= 22, FFmpeg
Commands
init
Scaffold a new Hyperframes project from a template:
npx hyperframes init my-video
cd my-video
preview
Start the live preview studio in your browser:
npx hyperframes preview
# Studio running at http://localhost:3002
npx hyperframes preview --port 4567
render
Render a composition to MP4:
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.
compositions
List compositions found in the current project:
npx hyperframes compositions
benchmark
Run rendering benchmarks:
npx hyperframes benchmark ./my-composition.html
doctor
Check your environment for required dependencies (Chrome, FFmpeg, Node.js):
npx hyperframes doctor
browser
Manage the bundled Chrome/Chromium installation:
npx hyperframes browser
info
Print version and environment info:
npx hyperframes info
docs
