## Summary
Two new quality skills + CLI integration that give agents feedback loops they currently lack — pixel-level contrast auditing and structured animation analysis.
### What this unlocks for agents
**Agents can now catch accessibility failures that humans and LLMs consistently miss.** The contrast audit runs automatically on every `hyperframes validate` and reports WCAG AA violations as warnings. In the eval, 4 out of 5 palettes had failing contrast — every baseline composition shipped broken, every treatment composition caught and fixed it.
**Agents can now reason about animation choreography.** The animation map produces a structured JSON report with:
- Per-tween natural language summaries ("card1 slides 23px up over 0.5s, fades in, ends at (120, 200)")
- ASCII timeline showing the full choreography as a Gantt chart
- Stagger detection with actual intervals ("3 elements stagger at 120ms" — validates against brief specs)
- Dead zone detection (periods >1s with no animation — missing entrance or intentional hold?)
- Element lifecycles (first/last animation, final visibility — catches elements that enter but never exit)
- Scene snapshots at 5 timestamps (what's on screen at any moment)
### Changes
**Skills (new)**
- \`skills/hyperframes-contrast/\` — WCAG contrast audit skill + script
- \`skills/hyperframes-animation-map/\` — animation analysis skill + script
**CLI**
- \`hyperframes validate\` now runs contrast audit by default (warnings, not errors)
- \`hyperframes validate --no-contrast\` to skip
- \`hyperframes render --html-only\` compiles HTML without video encoding
- Browser-side WCAG code in \`contrast-audit.browser.js\`, inlined at build time via esbuild text loader
**Producer**
- Exported \`compileForRender\` for the \`--html-only\` flag
### Eval results
5 prompts x 2 arms = 10 compositions. Arm A = baseline skills. Arm B = +contrast +animation-map.
| Prompt | Failing color | Before | After |
|--------|--------------|--------|-------|
| Halflife | Cement on Ink | 2.98:1 | 5.33:1 |
| Meridian | Ash on Midnight | 2.08:1 | 5.44:1 |
| Typesmith | Pencil on Paper | 3.19:1 | 5.50:1 |
| Lattice | Gray-600 on Terminal | 2.59:1 | 7.50:1 |
Animation map correctly enumerated 142 tweens across 5 compositions, detected stagger groups, flagged pacing issues, and produced scene snapshots.

## Test plan
- [x] Eval: 10 compositions (5 baseline, 5 treatment), all rendered
- [x] Contrast audit caught 4/4 failing palettes, 0 missed
- [x] \`hyperframes validate\` shows contrast warnings by default (exit 0)
- [x] \`hyperframes validate --no-contrast\` skips audit
- [x] \`hyperframes validate --json\` includes contrast data
- [x] Animation map tested on 3 compositions (17, 27, 51 tweens)
- [x] Stagger detection, dead zones, snapshots, timeline all verified
- [x] \`bun run build\` passes
- [x] \`bun run lint\` passes (0 errors, 0 warnings, 0 skill lint issues)
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
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
