Add a `core-skills` entry to .claude-plugin/marketplace.json declaring the core skill set (the /hyperframes router, the hyperframes-* domain skills, and media-use). The upstream vercel-labs/skills CLI reads that entry's `skills` array for its interactive picker: the core set renders under a "Core Skills" group and everything else falls into "Other", so a human running `npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes --full-depth` can tell the always-needed core set apart from the on-demand creation workflows — mirroring the core/on-demand tiers `hyperframes skills update` already enforces (isCoreSkill in skillsManifest.ts). The array deliberately lives on a separate marketplace entry, NOT on plugin.json or the `hyperframes` entry: Claude Code treats a manifest `skills` array as that plugin's skill allowlist (verified against claude CLI), so attaching it to the full plugin would narrow it from all skills to the core 8. As a side effect the new entry is itself a coherent Claude Code plugin — `core-skills@hyperframes` installs just the core set — while `hyperframes@hyperframes` keeps auto-discovering everything. A new pin test keeps the marketplace list in lockstep with isCoreSkill and the skills/ tree (alongside the existing FALLBACK_CORE_SKILLS pin), and asserts the full plugin carries no allowlist. Agent installs are unaffected — the upstream CLI detects agent environments and installs non-interactively, and the hyperframes CLI always passes explicit --skill flags.

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. Run from the project directory; the positional
argument is the project directory (not a file), so render the project's
index.html directly, or point at a specific composition file with -c:
npx hyperframes render -o output.mp4
npx hyperframes render -c ./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
