* 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.

Story spine — value-first narrative doctrine
Applies to the narrated, story-driven creation workflows — /product-launch-video, /pr-to-video, /faceless-explainer, and /general-video when the piece tells a story. It does not apply to /music-to-video (the track drives the arc), /motion-graphics (no narration — motion is the message), /embedded-captions and /talking-head-recut (the footage's story is already fixed), or /slideshow (the presenter owns the story). Do not force these rules onto an exempt workflow.
Each workflow's own story-design reference owns its archetypes, beat sequences, and frame vocabulary. This file owns three cross-workflow rules about order and justification — the reverse iceberg: lead with why it's valuable, not with what it is or how it was made.
1. The hook speaks the viewer's language
The first beat answers "why should I care" in outcome language — what the viewer gains, avoids, or finally understands. Subject-internal vocabulary is banned in the hook: file / function / API names for a code change; a feature list for a product; the source article's section headings for an explainer. Numbers are welcome only when they carry stakes ("40% faster cold starts"), never inventory ("23 files changed").
2. Reverse iceberg — value before evidence
The value claim (the brief's message) lands by the second beat. Everything after it is evidence in service of that claim — the diff, the mechanism, the feature demo, the site's screenshots. Implementation is the footnote of the story, not the spine.
Self-check on the finished beat list:
- Delete every evidence beat — the remaining beats must still state the value on their own.
- Delete the value beats — if the video still seems to work, it was a feature tour / diff readout, not a story.
Structure is value-first; the voice stays whatever the workflow prescribes (a PR video keeps its plain, no-hype developer voice — leading with value is an ordering decision, not a marketing register).
3. The storyboard is a proposal, not a listing
When Step 3 presents the plan (a checkpoint gate — hyperframes-core/references/brief-contract.md § 1):
-
Open by echoing the strategy line: "This video tells [audience] that [message]."
-
Present the frames as a markdown table, one row per frame:
Frame Beat On screen Why 01 — Not anymore hook · 9s States the old pain and resolves it in the same breath. Lands the value claim in beat 1 Why is the frame's job in the story (from its
narrativeRole), traced back to the message — a frame whose why cannot be traced to the message is a frame to cut, not to decorate. -
Recommendations keep their receipts (brief-contract § 3): the archetype choice, the beat count, and any beat the user might question each state their basis.
The proposal shape — echo line → frame table → style / duration footer → "approve or adjust" — is the cheapest place to iterate: a frame change here costs 30 seconds; the same change after build costs minutes.
