## What
Added progress reporting to the skills installation process by converting synchronous operations to asynchronous ones and implementing progress callbacks.
## Why
The skills installation process can take a significant amount of time, especially when cloning repositories or running npm operations. Users need feedback about what's happening during the installation to understand progress and know the system hasn't frozen.
## How
- Converted `execFileSync` calls to a new `execFileAsync` function using promises
- Made all installation functions (`runSkillsAdd`, `gitClone`, `fetchRepo`, `fallbackInstall`) asynchronous
- Added an optional `onProgress` callback parameter to `installAllSkills` that accepts progress messages
- Integrated progress reporting in the `init` command by passing spinner message updates to the progress callback
- Added progress messages for key installation steps like "Installing {source} skills..." and "Cloning skill repositories..."
- Added "giget" to the external dependencies list in the build configuration
## Test plan
- [ ] Unit tests added/updated
- [ ] Manual testing performed
- [ ] Documentation updated (if applicable)
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
