* feat(studio,cli): per-frame board comments, self-refreshing storyboard, status-aware preview landing Per-frame comment boxes on the storyboard board batch into .hyperframes/frame-comments.json (a resubmit wins per frame; unconsumed comments on other frames are kept). Submitted-but-unconsumed comments stay visible — a toolbar banner plus a per-tile echo — until the agent consumes the file; the banner also says what to do next (reply anything in the agent chat). The board keeps itself current: GET /projects/:id/signature exposes the watcher-cached project signature, the storyboard payload carries the signature it was derived from, and the view polls at 2s (hidden tabs skipped, re-checked on visibility), refetching in place with no loading flash. Posters bake the signature into their URL so tiles fill in as sketches land and a poster that failed mid-write retries on the next version; the empty state upgrades itself when STORYBOARD.md appears, and its handoff prompt now points the agent at the review loop and uses the parser's real status vocabulary (outline, not planned). preview lands the browser on the storyboard view while the board is the review surface — any frame built, or pure planning (srcs declared, none on disk yet) — and on the timeline once the video is assembled. * feat(skills): the review loop — plan, sketch, build as one shared process hyperframes-core/references/review-loop.md is the single source for the three-pass collaborative review: the plan proposed on a live board (§ 1), wireframe sketches marked built with one layout question (§ 2 — real words on plain blocks, run no CLI; a confirmed board is itself a valid deliverable when the user asked for a storyboard, not a video), the build dressing confirmed layouts (§ 3, worker or inline), and the final look (§ 4). Autonomous runs skip every gate and keep one question before render. The three narrative workflows' Steps 3/4/6 collapse to references plus their sketch stand-ins (captured-asset blocks for product-launch-video, plain code panels for pr-to-video); the confirmed-sketch handoff stays in each frame-worker prompt. general-video plans on a board for multi-scene narrative pieces in collaborative mode — its sketch pass is layout-before-animation with the user watching. The router treats "I want a storyboard" as a process request rather than a route, and closes exploratory intake by recommending a route plus how the run will review. The supporting contracts land next door: the comments channel (silent submit, one reply picks it up, check the file before the words) in brief-contract § 1; the sidecar schema and the built status rung in storyboard-format; the mode question asked first and alone in the three workflows' Step 0. * feat(media-use): user memory — remembered preferences and frozen recipes Two tiers of memory on media-use's existing two-tier storage split. Preferences (lightweight): confirmed brief answers — destination, aspect, language, mode, voice, style preset — recorded to the project's .media/preferences.json (committed, the team inherits it) and promoted to the personal ~/.media/preferences.json once the same value is confirmed in two different projects (a sightings ledger accumulates the cross-project evidence user-side, since project files can't see each other). prefs.mjs get/record; merge reads project-over-user; a changed value restarts its provenance. Recipes (heavyweight): one approved run frozen as a named, versioned bundle — frame.md, the storyboard skeleton (structure kept: durations, transitions, srcs, Video direction; statuses reset to outline; content blanked to per-frame fill-ins naming the beat's role), and the confirmed brief values. Named folders, not content hashes: re-freezing bumps version and archives <name>@v<N>; a freeze is already confirmed, so it promotes to the user tier immediately. recipe.mjs freeze/list/use, plus resolve --type recipe --entity <name> delegating like grade/lut. 16 new node --test cases; the media-use lib suite is 168/168. * feat(skills): wire user memory into the brief and the review loop brief-contract § 2 gains Remembered defaults: read the merged preferences before Round 2 and let a remembered value become the recommended option with a receipt naming its source project. Memory changes the default, never the question — every ask-marked field still gets asked, and what the request says this time beats what was picked last time. Record only what the user actually confirmed (a defaulted voice nobody chose is not an answer; a "go" that accepts the recommended defaults is). The first record announces itself once; after that the receipts carry the reminder. In autonomous mode a remembered value becomes the decided value, receipt included. The three narrative workflows read the remembered defaults before Round 2, record the confirmed answers at the Step 0 gate, record the chosen preset at the Step 2 gate (pr-to-video excepted — its preset is fixed), and fall back to the remembered voice when the request names none. general-video's discovery reads the same defaults. Recipes wire in at both ends: Step 0 checks for a matching recipe before the mode question — one question, plural-aware, and adopting one fills the brief, skips the design step, and drafts the storyboard from the frozen skeleton while every review gate still runs. The review loop's final look (§ 4) offers the freeze once after approval, and the confirmation teaches the recall phrase — the name is something the system reminds the user of, never something they must remember. The router recognizes a named recipe or "like last time" as a route. * docs(skills): the sketch pass names check, not the deprecated validate * feat(skills): intent-layer references — process, route briefs, capability menu, BRIEF.md format * feat(media-use): brief skeleton as the recipe's fourth artifact; flow/storyboard preference keys * feat(skills): the intent layer conducts every brief — workflows execute BRIEF.md * feat(skills): retire the mode preference key; sync catalog surfaces for intent layer * refactor(skills): dedupe router vs intent-layer guidance — one owner per rule * feat(skills): the design ask — own spec, pick by eye from showcases, or defer * docs(skills): the design ask says the honest line on capture routes * feat(skills): product-launch-video absorbs website-to-video as the tour angle * refactor(skills): keep product-launch-video pristine — a tour is brief intent, not a pipeline branch * feat(skills): production loop + genre lenses; general-video goes freeform (route yours, laws hold) * refactor(skills): /hyperframes is the front door - route tables and scope lists leave the workflows * docs(skills): review-loop pass across skill catalog * fix(cli): pass project dir to openStudioBrowser in background-server path * feat(skills): add pitch-round reference - verbalized sampling concept gate * feat(skills): wire pitch round into intent layer - completeness triage + route eligibility * feat(skills): editorial capability recommendations, handoff disciplines, menu-probe split * feat(skills): pitches carry their machinery; source-only-formed requests pitch the telling * feat(skills): companion goes director - ceiling treatment plus blueprint/rule citation discipline * fix(scripts): sandbox npx-leak guard - private npm global prefix keeps npx on the branch CLI * chore(skills): resync manifest hash after formatter pass reflowed general-video tables * fix(skills): recipe freeze reads workflow from BRIEF.md; style_preset records require workflow scope Two holes found by a live companion-run freeze: the agent-supplied --workflow contradicted the run's actual workflow (recipe.json said faceless-explainer, brief-skeleton said general-video), and the style_preset lookup missed because the preference had been recorded under the bare key. - freezeRecipe resolves the workflow from BRIEF.md frontmatter; the flag is a fallback for briefless projects and a contradicting flag is ignored (noted). - recordPreference refuses a bare style_preset — the scoped key is the only writable shape; freeze tolerates legacy bare records via read fallback. - review-loop § 4 / media-use SKILL / brief-format wording follow the machinery.

| hyperframes-cli | Use the HyperFrames CLI development loop: init, add, catalog, capture, lint, check, snapshot, compare, grade-compare, preview, play, present, beats, keyframes, single or batch render, publish, cloud, cloudrun, feedback, lambda, doctor, browser, info, upgrade, skills, compositions, docs, benchmark, telemetry, transcribe, auth, tts, and remove-background. Also use when diagnosing build or render failures. validate, inspect, and layout are deprecated aliases; use check. Covers local, HeyGen-hosted cloud, AWS Lambda, and Google Cloud Run rendering. |
HyperFrames CLI
Run commands as npx hyperframes ... unless project instructions provide a wrapper. Obey the wrapper when present. The CLI requires Node.js 22 or newer and FFmpeg.
Development loop
- Scaffold:
npx hyperframes init <project>or capture a site. In non-TTY mode, pass--non-interactive --example=<name>. - Author: write the composition using
/hyperframes-core. - Get fast feedback while editing: run
npx hyperframes lintafter the first HTML pass and after structural changes. - Run the final gate: run
npx hyperframes check; it reruns lint before opening the browser. Do not prepend a redundant standalone lint invocation. Add--snapshotsfor annotated overview frames and finding crops. - Inspect sub-compositions: when
index.htmlmountsdata-composition-src, capture midpoint snapshots and inspect each mounted scene. - Open the final Studio preview: run
npx hyperframes preview, hand the timeline project URL to the user, and ask whether to revise or render. - Render only after approval: use draft quality for iteration and high quality for delivery.
- Verify the output: confirm the file exists, is non-empty, and has a plausible duration.
# Fast iteration check; repeat while authoring as needed.
npx hyperframes lint
# Required final gate; includes lint.
npx hyperframes check
npx hyperframes preview
npx hyperframes render --quality high --output out.mp4
test -s out.mp4
ffprobe -v error -show_format out.mp4
check runs lint first, then uses one browser session and one seek pass to audit runtime errors, failed requests, layout, *.motion.json assertions, and WCAG contrast. Persistent findings gate the exit code; transient entrance or exit findings are informational. Use --strict to gate warnings. validate, inspect, and layout remain aliases for compatibility but must not appear in new instructions or scripts.
Two different preview surfaces
Do not confuse these states:
| Surface | When it may open | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Storyboard board | Before composition checks, only when storyboard: yes |
Review plan cards and wireframe sketches. Open ?view=storyboard#project/<name>. |
| Final composition preview | After check passes |
Review the assembled timeline before render. Open #project/<name>. |
The early board is not approval of the final video. Rendering always requires the final approval defined by hyperframes-core/references/review-loop.md.
Sub-composition smoke test
Static audits cannot catch every mount failure. When the project uses sub-compositions, capture at least one visible midpoint for each host slot:
npx hyperframes snapshot --at <t1>,<t2>,<t3>
Treat tiny unstyled content, canvas-sized icons, missing hero elements, or timeline-registration timeouts as render-blocking mount defects. See hyperframes-core/references/sub-compositions.md for the corresponding fixes.
Agent conventions
-
Prefer
--jsonfor agent and CI calls. Server-moderender,preview, andplaydo not provide ordinary JSON output;preview --selection --jsonandpreview --context --jsonare query-mode exceptions. -
doctor --jsonalways exits zero. Gate on its payload:npx hyperframes doctor --json | jq -e '.ok' >/dev/null -
Non-TTY mode is automatic.
initrequires--examplethere; use--non-interactiveto force deterministic behavior on a TTY. -
Use one
HYPERFRAMES_RUN_IDfor all commands in the same verification loop. -
Use
--strict,--strict-all, and--strict-variableswhen the corresponding warnings, variables, or CI conditions must gate the render. -
JSON paths redact the home directory as
$HOME; do not try to reverse the redaction. -
Never render merely because checks pass. Pause at the final preview and wait for approval.
Studio-directed edits
When the user refers to “this element” or the current selection, query Studio instead of guessing:
npx hyperframes preview --context --json --context-fields selection
Use selection.target.hfId when available, otherwise its selector and source file. If the result reports no-selection, ask the user to click the element and rerun. Request only the context slices you need; use --context-detail full only for computed styles or editable text metadata. Full behavior and failure codes live in references/preview-render.md.
Render choices
| Need | Command |
|---|---|
| Fast local iteration | npx hyperframes render --quality draft |
| Final local delivery | npx hyperframes render --quality high --output out.mp4 |
| Reproducible container render | npx hyperframes render --docker --strict --output out.mp4 |
| Local variable-driven batch render | npx hyperframes render --batch rows.json --output "renders/{name}.mp4" |
| HeyGen-hosted zero-infrastructure render | npx hyperframes cloud render |
| Self-managed distributed AWS render | npx hyperframes lambda render <project> --width 1920 --height 1080 --wait |
| Self-managed distributed GCP render | npx hyperframes cloudrun render <project> --width 1920 --height 1080 --wait |
Use cloud rendering when the user wants hosted rendering without local Chrome, FFmpeg, or AWS. Use Lambda only when AWS ownership is a requirement. Use Cloud Run only when GCP ownership is a requirement. Read the matching reference before running any cloud path.
After verifying a successful render, send one feedback report unless telemetry is disabled or the user opted out:
npx hyperframes feedback --rating <0-10> --comment "<specific result or friction>"
Use --file-issue only with consent: it publishes a minimal reproduction to a public URL. The bug report format and privacy warning live in references/preview-render.md.
Read the matching reference before running a command
The following references and owning skills are mandatory command contracts, not optional background reading. Before running a command in the table, read its matching row.
| Need | Reference |
|---|---|
init, capture, skills |
references/init-and-scaffold.md |
lint, check, motion sidecars, snapshot |
references/lint-validate-inspect.md |
compare, grade-compare, variable-driven render --batch |
references/compare-and-batch.md |
beats for an existing project's Studio beat grid |
references/beats.md |
preview, play, render, publish, Studio context, feedback |
references/preview-render.md |
doctor, browser management |
references/doctor-browser.md |
auth, HeyGen-hosted cloud rendering, and template variables |
references/cloud.md |
| AWS Lambda deployment and rendering | references/lambda.md |
| Google Cloud Run deployment and rendering | references/cloudrun.md |
info, upgrade, compositions, docs, benchmark, telemetry, media preprocessing |
references/upgrade-info-misc.md |
For composition variables, also read /hyperframes-core → references/variables-and-media.md. For hyperframes add and hyperframes catalog, use /hyperframes-registry. Before hyperframes present, read /slideshow; before hyperframes keyframes, read /hyperframes-keyframes. For TTS, transcription, captions, or background removal choices, use /media-use.
The specialized commands are deliberately documented by their owning workflows:
npx hyperframes present <project-dir> --port 3004 --no-open
npx hyperframes beats <project-dir> --json
npx hyperframes keyframes <project-dir> --json
present serves a navigable deck with presenter and audience synchronization. beats is the standalone Studio beat-grid utility defined in references/beats.md. keyframes surfaces seek-safe animation and motion-path diagnostics.
