* docs(prompting): correct workflow one-liners against skill contracts general-video leads with its positive identity and companion mode; faceless-explainer keys on invented visuals instead of TTS; talking-head-recut uses the 'graphic overlays' trigger term; motion-graphics gains its input side and overlay output; music-to-video stops implying images are required. * docs(prompting): make vocabulary video grids readable Replace the 4-5 column table hack with a 3-column CSS grid, switch demo clips to autoplay muted loops (no black poster frame, no player chrome over tiny videos), and align cells at 16:9. * docs(prompting): document the opening interview and run-shape questions The guide taught prompt shapes but never prepared readers for the conversation that follows: the intent interview, the two run-shape questions (storyboard, automation vs companion), the just-build-it skip, and BRIEF.md as the resumable artifact. Add that section to the overview, a disambiguation note on the storyboards page, and free up 'companion' as a reserved term in media-and-audio. * docs(guides): make BRIEF.md the pipeline's Step 3 artifact Step 3 (Strategy & Messaging) listed no output while describing exactly what BRIEF.md now captures. Name the artifact in the step table, project tree, step body, gate, and iterating list, and fix SCRIPT.md's step label in the tree (Step 4, not 3). * docs(quickstart): realign the setup surface with the skills catalog The quickstart drifted from docs/guides/skills.mdx, CLAUDE.md, and the prompting overview — it had never been updated when those surfaces were: - `--full-depth` on both install commands, with the reason inline. Without it `skills add` fetches the skills.sh registry blob, which lags `main` by hours, so a reader following the quickstart installs stale skills. - `check` in the `/hyperframes-cli` row, and a validate step in the manual dev loop, which went preview → render with no gate at all. The prompting overview calls `check` "the step people skip and regret" and states both `lint` and `check` must pass before rendering. - `/hyperframes-keyframes` in the core-skills table (8 rows → 9). - `/figma` in the optional-workflow list (10 → 11). * docs(skills): close the catalog drift class and complete the music-to-video input Follow-up on the two review nits from #2872. `/music-to-video`'s SKILL.md names three inputs — an audio file, a video to pull audio from, or a track generated from a mood brief. Every compressed copy of that description carried only the first two, and the third is the one that makes "a complete video needs zero assets" true. Fixed on all eight surfaces that state it, so no surface is now more correct than its siblings: the prompting overview and quickstart setup tables, docs/guides/skills.mdx, the README catalog, root CLAUDE.md + AGENTS.md, both CLI project templates, and the router's own routes/music-to-video.md Input line (whose Interview must-haves already listed all three). The drift was structural, not accidental: the sync set declared in docs/guides/skills.mdx and in CLAUDE.md's "Skill catalog maintenance" named four surfaces and never the two setup tables, so those two were free to rot while the declared four stayed correct. Both declarations now name them, and both say the set applies to a *changed contract* — a reworded description — not only to an added or renamed skill. skills-manifest.json regenerated for the touched route file. * docs(claude): point the routing-surface rule at routes/, not the moved stubs Item 3 of "Skill catalog maintenance" still sent readers to `references/workflow-catalog.md` for a workflow's input/output/trigger contract and `references/route-briefs.md` for its interview entry. Both are now "moved" stubs — the contract and the interview entry live together in `references/routes/<workflow>.md`, one read per candidate route. Same failure class the previous commit fixed at item 1: a maintenance rule outliving the layout it describes. Swept the tree for other pointers at the two stubs; there are none, so this closes it rather than fixing one instance.
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. Run from the project directory; the positional
argument is the project directory (not a file), so render the project's
index.html directly, or point at a specific composition file with -c:
npx hyperframes render -o output.mp4
npx hyperframes render -c ./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
Open the documentation in your browser:
npx hyperframes docs
upgrade
Check for updates and show upgrade instructions:
npx hyperframes upgrade
npx hyperframes upgrade --check --json # machine-readable for agents
