WaterrrForeverandClaude Opus 5.5 c4edac3056 docs: rename the Workflows nav group to Make a video and drop retired workflow steps (#5655)
The per-workflow guides now route through /hyperframes, so the sidebar group
names what the reader wants to do rather than skills that no longer ship. The
guides no longer promise a confirmation round the retired workflow skills ran
(the interview and brief); they say what to put in the request and when to ask
for a proposal or storyboard first. URLs are unchanged.

import { DocsVideo } from "/snippets/docs-video.jsx";
Start from a topic, article, or notes. HyperFrames invents the typography, diagrams, abstract graphics, and data visualization that teach it.

Kinetic type, an abstract graphic, a diagram, and a data-visualisation — all
invented from the text. There is no source video anywhere in this.
## Make the request
Attach or paste the source material:
```text
Using /hyperframes, turn these notes into a short visual explainer for a
general audience: [paste notes]
```
Say which facts or wording must stay exact, and ask the agent to propose the
teaching angle first if you want to choose it. A topic alone is enough to begin;
a script is useful only when its words are already approved.
## How should the idea land?
- **Understand one idea** — open with a useful question, then reveal the mechanism one layer at a time.
- **Follow a process** — keep one visual stage and show each step in the order the viewer needs it.
- **Remember three points** — make the ideas parallel, concrete, and visually distinct enough to recall later.
- **Learn through a story** — use one case to move from setup and tension to a general lesson.
If you supply an approved script, say whether HyperFrames may restructure it or
must keep every word.
Use a [product and website video](/guides/product-launch-video) when the real interface should provide the proof. Use [captions or designed overlays](/guides/captions-and-recuts) when existing footage should remain underneath.
## From information to understanding
HyperFrames does not turn each paragraph into a scene. It finds the teaching spine, removes asides, and builds a sequence around the one idea the viewer should retain.
The visuals share one coherent language and develop with the explanation. A diagram should reveal a mechanism; a chart should prove a claim; motion should show what changes.
## Review whether it teaches
- The opening creates a question, tension, or surprise.
- The main idea is clear by the second scene.
- Each body scene advances one mechanism, step, example, or implication.
- Numbers and factual claims match the source.
- The ending lands the sentence you wanted the viewer to remember.
Ask the agent when the teaching sequence or evidence must change. Use
Studio for a precise visual, timing, or animation correction.
