Adds --contrast flag to the validate command. When enabled, after the standard console-error check, the command: 1. Reads composition duration from window.__hf or data-duration attribute 2. Seeks to 5 evenly-spaced timestamps via the runtime seek protocol 3. Takes a screenshot at each timestamp 4. Injects a browser-side audit script that walks the DOM for text elements, samples background pixels via canvas from the screenshot, and computes WCAG 2.1 contrast ratios 5. Reports failures as CLI errors with selector, text, ratio, and timestamp Zero new Node dependencies — all pixel work runs in the browser via canvas getImageData. The WCAG math is injected as a raw script string to avoid esbuild transform issues with page.evaluate. Usage: hyperframes validate --contrast hyperframes validate --contrast --json Contrast failures exit with code 1, same as console errors.
Hyperframes
Write HTML. Render video. Built for agents.
Hyperframes is an open-source video rendering framework that lets you create, preview, and render HTML-based video compositions — with first-class support for AI agents via MCP.
Why Hyperframes?
- HTML-native — AI agents already speak HTML. No React required.
- Frame Adapter pattern — bring your own animation runtime (GSAP, Lottie, CSS, Three.js).
- Deterministic rendering — same input = identical output. Built for automated pipelines.
- AI-first design — not a bolted-on afterthought.
Quick Start
npx hyperframes init my-video
cd my-video
Then open the project with your AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) — it has HyperFrames skills installed and knows how to create and edit compositions.
npx hyperframes preview # preview in browser (live reload)
npx hyperframes render # render to MP4
Requirements: Node.js >= 22, FFmpeg

How It Works
Define your video as HTML with data attributes:
<div id="stage" data-composition-id="my-video" data-start="0" data-width="1920" data-height="1080">
<video
id="clip-1"
data-start="0"
data-duration="5"
data-track="0"
src="intro.mp4"
muted
playsinline
></video>
<img id="overlay" data-start="2" data-duration="3" data-track="1" src="logo.png" />
<audio
id="bg-music"
data-start="0"
data-duration="9"
data-track="2"
data-volume="0.5"
src="music.wav"
></audio>
</div>
Preview instantly in the browser. Render to MP4 locally. Let AI agents compose videos using tools they already understand.

AI Agent Skills
HyperFrames ships skills that teach AI coding agents (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, Cursor) how to write correct compositions and GSAP animations. Use these instead of writing from scratch — they encode framework-specific patterns that generic docs don't cover.
Install via CLI (recommended)
# Install all skills (HyperFrames + GSAP) — runs automatically during `hyperframes init`
npx hyperframes skills
# Or install to a specific agent
npx hyperframes skills --claude
npx hyperframes skills --cursor
Or via npx skills add
# HyperFrames skills (hyperframes-compose, hyperframes-captions)
npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes
# GSAP skills (gsap-core, gsap-timeline, gsap-scrolltrigger, gsap-plugins, gsap-performance, gsap-utils, gsap-react, gsap-frameworks)
npx skills add greensock/gsap-skills
Installed Skills
