Miguel Angel Simon Sierra cf7c1d7609 docs(cli,skills): teach check as the canonical verification gate

Scaffolded projects' npm run check now invokes the single check command
instead of chaining lint, validate, and inspect (three Chrome boots
become one). The CLI skill, its correctness reference, the entry skill's
capability map, README/docs catalog rows, the Mintlify CLI page (new
check section, deprecation banner on inspect), template CLAUDE/AGENTS
(byte-identical), root CLAUDE/AGENTS, and every creation-workflow skill
that taught the old sequence all point at check. snapshot keeps its
standalone sections; validate/inspect stay documented as deprecated
aliases with their check equivalents.

hyperframes-core	The HyperFrames composition contract — build one renderable project. Use for composition structure, the `data-*` timing attributes, `class="clip"`, tracks, sub-compositions, variables, framework-owned media playback, deterministic-render rules, and validation. Also covers Tailwind projects and the STORYBOARD.md / SCRIPT.md plan formats. Read before writing composition HTML.

HyperFrames Core

HyperFrames renders video from HTML. A composition is an HTML file whose DOM declares timing with data-* attributes, whose animation runtime is seekable, and whose media playback is owned by the framework.

This skill is the technical contract — how to build one hyperframes project. The body below is the build guide; per-topic detail lives in references/ (index next), read on demand. Other concerns live in the sibling domain skills — hyperframes-animation, hyperframes-creative, media-use, hyperframes-cli, hyperframes-registry. The capability map in /hyperframes says what each one covers.

References

File	Read it to…
`references/minimal-composition.md`	start from the smallest renderable composition skeleton
`references/composition-patterns.md`	choose monolithic vs modular; structure a modular `index.html`; pick a sub-comp archetype
`references/data-attributes.md`	look up any `data-*` (root / clip / sub-comp host / legacy aliases); use `class="clip"`
`references/tracks-and-clips.md`	pick `data-track-index`, handle same-track overlap / z-index, time a clip relative to another
`references/sub-compositions.md`	wire a sub-composition (host attrs, `<template>`, per-instance vars) and animate inside it
`references/variables-and-media.md`	declare variables; place `<video>`/`<audio>`, set volume, trim
`references/determinism-rules.md`	build a seekable timeline; determinism bans; the animatable-property allowlist; layout / text fit
`references/full-screen-motion.md`	author full-frame motion with shared backgrounds
`references/storyboard-format.md`	author a `STORYBOARD.md` plan (+ the parsed manifest)
`references/brief-contract.md`	conduct a creation workflow's intake — interaction mode (collaborative / autonomous), shared brief fields, asking rules
`references/script-format.md`	author the optional `SCRIPT.md` locked narration
`references/subagent-dispatch.md`	map subagent dispatch verbs (parallel fan-out / background / wait) to your harness
`references/tailwind.md`	work in a Tailwind v4 project (`init --tailwind`; runtime contract differs from Studio's v3)

For animation runtime specifics (GSAP API, Lottie, Three.js, etc.) go to hyperframes-animation → adapters/<runtime>.md.

Building a composition

Two root forms (not interchangeable)

Standalone (top-level index.html) — root <div data-composition-id="…"> sits directly in <body>, no <template> wrapper (wrapping it hides all content and breaks rendering).
Sub-composition (loaded via data-composition-src) — root must be wrapped in <template>.

⚠ Transport rule: the runtime only clones <template> contents; everything outside (incl. <head> styles/scripts) is discarded — put <style>/<script> inside the template. ⚠ Host-id rule: the host slot's data-composition-id must exactly equal the inner template's data-composition-id and the window.__timelines["<id>"] key — no -mount/-slot/-host suffix.

File shape, host wiring, and the pre-render checklist → references/sub-compositions.md.

Root must be sized (silent layout bug)

The standalone root needs an explicit sized box (width/height in px), and every ancestor down to a height:100% element must have a resolved height — otherwise a flex/100% child collapses to ~0 and content piles into the top-left corner. lint/validate/inspect do not catch this. Skeleton → references/minimal-composition.md.

One paused timeline

Each composition registers exactly one gsap.timeline({ paused: true }) at window.__timelines["<id>"] (key = root data-composition-id), built synchronously at page load. Render duration = root data-duration, not timeline length. Don't manually nest sub-timelines into the host. Full contract (incl. non-GSAP runtimes) → references/determinism-rules.md + hyperframes-animation/adapters/.

Non-negotiable rules (silent bugs `lint`/`validate`/`inspect` won't catch)

Surfaced here; full rationale in the linked reference. Do not violate:

No render-time clocks / unseeded Math.random / network / input-state; no repeat: -1 (use a finite count). → determinism-rules.md
Animate only the visual-property allowlist; never display/visibility; no gsap.set on later-scene clips. → determinism-rules.md
No <br> in body text; transformed elements must be block-level + sized; pulsing absolute decoratives need peak clearance. → determinism-rules.md
<video>/<audio> must be a direct child of the host root (never inside a sub-comp <template>/wrapper); the framework owns playback. → variables-and-media.md
Every id must be unique across the assembled page; inside a sub-comp, prefix ids with the composition id (#<id>-hero). Duplicate <video>/<img> ids render blank — the producer injects frames by getElementById, and cross-file dupes slip past lint. → composition-patterns.md
A full-screen scene fill goes on a full-bleed child (position:absolute; inset:0), never on the composition root itself — the producer's frame compositing can drop the root element's own background (the frame renders black) even though preview/snapshot show it correctly. → composition-patterns.md

Editing existing compositions

Read the files first. Preserve unrelated timing, tracks, IDs, variables, media paths.
Match existing composition IDs and timeline keys.
Adding a clip: pick a non-overlapping data-track-index or adjust surrounding timing intentionally.
data-hidden on any composition element hides it in BOTH preview and render, overriding its time window; it is non-destructive/reversible and toggled by Studio's timeline eye icon.
Adding a sub-composition: verify its internal data-composition-id before wiring the host.

Validation

Use hyperframes-cli for command details

npx hyperframes lint passes (0 errors)
npx hyperframes check passes (0 console errors)
npx hyperframes check passes (0 errors)
Projects with sub-compositions: npx hyperframes snapshot --at <midpoints> and eyeball each frame
npx hyperframes preview for review (the user can edit anything in Studio's timeline)
npx hyperframes render only after the user approves
