## What PR 5/17 of the catalog system rollout. Adds the `hyperframes add` verb for installing blocks and components from the registry into an existing project, plus the `hyperframes.json` project config that tells `add` which registry to use and where to drop files. Stacks on #255. - **`packages/cli/src/commands/add.ts`** — new `hyperframes add <name>` command. Resolves an item, validates target paths, installs files in parallel, builds an include snippet, copies it to the clipboard. Exposes a testable `runAdd(opts)` function; the citty default wraps it with console output + exit handling - **`packages/cli/src/utils/projectConfig.ts`** — read/write/normalize `hyperframes.json`. Tolerant to missing and partial configs - **`packages/cli/src/utils/clipboard.ts`** — minimal cross-platform clipboard (pbcopy / clip.exe / wl-copy / xclip / xsel). Zero deps. Gracefully no-ops in headless environments - **`packages/cli/src/commands/init.ts`** — write `hyperframes.json` during scaffold if not already present - **`packages/cli/src/cli.ts`** + **`help.ts`** — register `add` under Getting Started (directly below `init`) Design doc: [Hyperframes Catalog System](https://www.notion.so/heygen/Hyperframes-Catalog-System-Design-Plan-341449792c69813f899dcd53b4c0383a). ## UX ```bash # Scaffold a project (now writes hyperframes.json too) npx hyperframes init my-video --example blank cd my-video # Add a block — files land, snippet copied to clipboard npx hyperframes add claude-code-window # ✓ Added claude-code-window (hyperframes:block) # compositions/claude-code-window.html # # Include snippet: # <iframe src="compositions/claude-code-window.html" data-start="0" data-duration="6"></iframe> # # Copied to clipboard — paste into your host composition. # Add a component effect npx hyperframes add shader-wipe # Headless / CI — no clipboard, JSON output for tooling npx hyperframes add shader-wipe --no-clipboard --json ``` Running `hyperframes add warm-grain` (an example) errors clearly pointing to `init --example`. ## Docs (bundled in this PR per the tracker principle) - `docs/packages/cli.mdx` — new `add` subsection under Commands (flags, examples, trigger rules) + new `hyperframes.json` section describing the config file shape ## Tests - **`packages/cli/src/commands/add.test.ts`** — 11 tests: - `remapTarget` / `buildSnippet` pure helpers (5 tests) - `runAdd` integration against a mocked `fetch` registry: block install lands files + returns snippet, component install respects `paths.components` remap, example-typed names throw `AddError` with code `example-type`, unknown names throw `AddError` with code `unknown-item` (4 tests plus 2 covering block default path and non-default path preservation) - **`packages/cli/src/utils/projectConfig.test.ts`** — 9 tests: - Write/read round-trip, partial-config normalization, corrupt-file handling, absent-file fallback to defaults, custom paths preserved - **CLI suite:** 92 passed (was 72 on #255, **+20**). Same 4 pre-existing failures unchanged ## Scope decisions - **`init.ts` full port to new resolver deferred.** The original plan bundled a removal of the `packages/cli/src/templates/` compat shim. That's ~300 more lines and isn't required for `add` to work. The compat shim from #254 still functions; a separate cleanup PR handles it - **No ajv runtime schema validation.** Manifests are trusted as schema-valid. Full validation lands when third-party registries arrive (PR 14/15). Path safety is still enforced by the installer's `assertSafeTarget` guard - **Default project paths stay under `compositions/`.** Blocks → `compositions/<name>.html`; components → `compositions/components/<name>/<file>`. Users override via `hyperframes.json#paths` ## Breaking / migration **None.** Pure additive — new command, new file types, no existing commands or flags change. `init.ts` now writes `hyperframes.json` but that's a new additional file, not a modification of existing output. ## Stacks on #255 — base branch. When #255 merges, this rebases onto `main`. ## Next in stack PR 6 — `feat(registry): seed block — claude-code-window`. First real registry item. Exercises the full `hyperframes add <name>` flow end-to-end against a committed item on `main`. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)

| hyperframes-cli | HyperFrames CLI tool — hyperframes init, lint, preview, render, transcribe, tts, doctor, browser, info, upgrade, compositions, docs, benchmark. Use when scaffolding a project, linting or validating compositions, previewing in the studio, rendering to video, transcribing audio, generating TTS, or troubleshooting the HyperFrames environment. |
HyperFrames CLI
Everything runs through npx hyperframes. Requires Node.js >= 22 and FFmpeg.
Workflow
- Scaffold —
npx hyperframes init my-video - Write — author HTML composition (see the
hyperframesskill) - Lint —
npx hyperframes lint - Preview —
npx hyperframes preview - Render —
npx hyperframes render
Lint before preview — catches missing data-composition-id, overlapping tracks, unregistered timelines.
Scaffolding
npx hyperframes init my-video # interactive wizard
npx hyperframes init my-video --example warm-grain # pick an example
npx hyperframes init my-video --video clip.mp4 # with video file
npx hyperframes init my-video --audio track.mp3 # with audio file
npx hyperframes init my-video --non-interactive # skip prompts (CI/agents)
Templates: blank, warm-grain, play-mode, swiss-grid, vignelli, decision-tree, kinetic-type, product-promo, nyt-graph.
init creates the right file structure, copies media, transcribes audio with Whisper, and installs AI coding skills. Use it instead of creating files by hand.
Linting
npx hyperframes lint # current directory
npx hyperframes lint ./my-project # specific project
npx hyperframes lint --verbose # info-level findings
npx hyperframes lint --json # machine-readable
Lints index.html and all files in compositions/. Reports errors (must fix), warnings (should fix), and info (with --verbose).
Previewing
npx hyperframes preview # serve current directory
npx hyperframes preview --port 4567 # custom port (default 3002)
Hot-reloads on file changes. Opens the studio in your browser automatically.
Rendering
npx hyperframes render # standard MP4
npx hyperframes render --output final.mp4 # named output
npx hyperframes render --quality draft # fast iteration
npx hyperframes render --fps 60 --quality high # final delivery
npx hyperframes render --format webm # transparent WebM
npx hyperframes render --docker # byte-identical

Transcription
npx hyperframes transcribe audio.mp3
npx hyperframes transcribe video.mp4 --model medium.en --language en
npx hyperframes transcribe subtitles.srt # import existing
npx hyperframes transcribe subtitles.vtt
npx hyperframes transcribe openai-response.json
Text-to-Speech
npx hyperframes tts "Text here" --voice af_nova --output narration.wav
npx hyperframes tts script.txt --voice bf_emma
npx hyperframes tts --list # show all voices
Troubleshooting
npx hyperframes doctor # check environment (Chrome, FFmpeg, Node, memory)
npx hyperframes browser # manage bundled Chrome
npx hyperframes info # version and environment details
npx hyperframes upgrade # check for updates
Run doctor first if rendering fails. Common issues: missing FFmpeg, missing Chrome, low memory.
