Skills catalog - HyperFrames

HyperFrames ships AI agent skills via vercel-labs/skills. They teach your agent the framework-specific patterns — data-* attributes, GSAP timeline registration, adapter registries, runtime-owned media playback — that generic web docs don’t cover. Install them before writing compositions and your agent produces valid HyperFrames HTML on the first try. The skills split into three groups:

Router — the entry skill that picks a workflow for any “make me a…” request — usually a video, but also a navigable deck (/slideshow) or a composition port (/remotion-to-hyperframes).
Creation workflows — one per input shape (URL, PR, music track, captions, etc.). Each owns its task end-to-end: project setup, gated steps, and the final deliverable. Read by the router; you can also invoke directly if you already know which one fits.
Domain skills — atomic capabilities (animation, media, CLI, registry) the workflows compose against; they never own the end-to-end task. Load one when you need that specific layer.

Install

Pick what to install (interactive picker)

npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes --full-depth

Opens a picker so you can choose which skills to add — the core set (the router, the hyperframes-* domain skills, and media-use) is listed under the “Core Skills” group, the on-demand creation workflows under “Other”. Keep --full-depth: it installs the current main. Without it, skills add fetches the skills.sh registry blob, which lags main by hours, so you may get an older copy of a skill. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, and Google Antigravity.

Or install everything at once (skip the picker)

npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes --all --full-depth

Writes every skill to your project in one shot. Recommended when you want the full set without selecting from the picker.

Or install one skill at a time

npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes --skill <name> --full-depth

Pass the bare skill name (no leading /) — e.g. --skill hyperframes-animation. Useful when you want a single capability without the full set.

Read /hyperframes first

Once installed, invoke /hyperframes in your agent. It’s the capability map for everything below and routes “make me a…” intent — a video, a deck, or a composition port — to the right creation workflow based on your input.

Don’t see a slash command after install? Open a new agent session, or run /skills (Copilot CLI) / restart your agent’s skill loader. Most agents pick up new skills on the next prompt.

Keeping skills current

After the first install, skills stay lean and current on their own — nothing re-pulls the full set behind your back:

Core set — the /hyperframes router, the hyperframes-* domain skills, and /media-use. npx hyperframes init (which every creation workflow runs when scaffolding) refreshes the core set plus anything else you already have installed. It never expands the install — workflow skills you haven’t used are not pulled — and re-running init on an up-to-date machine is a no-op. Offline (or rate-limited) it degrades gracefully and never hard-fails.
Workflow skills (and /figma) — install on demand, when their workflow is first triggered. The /hyperframes router runs npx hyperframes skills update <workflow> before entering a workflow, so the one it routes to is guaranteed present.

Check or refresh manually anytime:

npx hyperframes skills check          # non-zero exit if installed skills are stale or the core set is incomplete
npx hyperframes skills update         # refresh the core set + everything installed (never expands)
npx hyperframes skills update <name>  # also install a specific workflow / domain skill on demand
npx hyperframes skills                # install the full set explicitly

skills check reports workflow skills you haven’t installed as available on demand, not as a failure.

Router

The single entry point. Read /hyperframes before invoking anything else — it knows what’s available and which workflow fits your request.

Skill	Use when
`/hyperframes`	Read first for any request to make / create / edit / animate / render a video, animation, or motion graphic. Capability map for the domain skills and intent router for the creation workflows below.

Creation workflows

One workflow per input shape. The router (/hyperframes) picks one of these for you — but you can invoke them directly when you already know which fits.

Skill	Use when
`/product-launch-video`	Marketing / launching / promoting a product — from its URL, a brief, or a script (even if the site is only named). Up to ~3 min (sweet spot 30-90s).
`/website-to-video`	Turning a general website into a video — site tour, portfolio / landing-page showcase, social clip from the site’s own visuals.
`/faceless-explainer`	Explaining a topic / concept from arbitrary text — no product, no URL, no website capture; every visual is LLM-invented (typography / abstract / diagram / data-viz).
`/pr-to-video`	A GitHub pull request (PR URL, `owner/repo#N` ref, or “this PR”) → changelog / feature-reveal / fix / refactor explainer, read via the `gh` CLI.
`/embedded-captions`	Adding captions / subtitles to an existing talking-head video (footage untouched) — verbatim rail, embedded climax behind the subject, or pure-cinematic embed.
`/talking-head-recut`	Packaging an existing talking-head / interview / podcast video with designed graphic overlays — lower-thirds, data callouts, kinetic titles, pull-quotes, side panels, PiP.
`/motion-graphics`	A short, unnarrated, design-led motion graphic (~under 10s) — kinetic type, stat / chart hit, logo sting, lower-third, animated tweet / headline. MP4 or transparent overlay.
`/music-to-video`	A music track (audio file, or video to pull audio from) → a beat-synced video — lyric, slideshow, or kinetic promo; music drives pacing.
`/slideshow`	A presentation / pitch deck / interactive deck — discrete slides, fragment reveals, branching, hotspot navigation, presenter mode. Output is a navigable deck, not a rendered video.
`/general-video`	Anything else — longer or multi-scene pieces, brand / sizzle reel, title card, static loop, freeform composition. Input- and length-agnostic fallback.
`/remotion-to-hyperframes`	Porting an existing Remotion (React) composition’s source to HyperFrames HTML. One-way migration, not creation.

Domain skills (loaded on demand)

Atomic capabilities the creation workflows compose against — pull one when you need that specific layer.

Skill	Covers
`/hyperframes-core`	The composition contract — `data-*` timing attributes, `class="clip"`, tracks, sub-compositions, variables, framework-owned media playback, determinism rules.
`/hyperframes-animation`	All animation knowledge — atomic motion rules, scene blueprints, transitions, runtime adapters (GSAP / Lottie / Three.js / Anime.js / CSS / WAAPI / TypeGPU).
`/hyperframes-keyframes`	Seek-safe keyframe authoring across runtimes — GSAP timelines, CSS keyframes, Anime.js, WAAPI, FLIP, paths, masks, SVG morph/draw, 3D depth — plus `hyperframes keyframes` diagnostics for rendered motion.
`/hyperframes-creative`	Non-animation creative direction — `frame.md` / `design.md`, palettes, typography, narration, beat planning, audio-reactive visuals, composition patterns.
`/media-use`	The media OS — resolve any media need (BGM, SFX, image, icon, logo, voice, color grade, LUT) into a frozen local file or paste-ready block + ledger record, generate via TTS/music/image models when the catalog misses, transcribe, caption, remove backgrounds, and reuse assets across projects. One shared audio engine + manifest tracking.
`/hyperframes-cli`	CLI dev loop — `init`, `lint`, `check`, `snapshot`, `preview`, `render`, `publish`, `doctor`, plus HeyGen-hosted cloud rendering (`cloud render / list / get / delete`) and AWS Lambda rendering (`lambda deploy / render / progress / destroy / policies`).
`/hyperframes-registry`	Install and wire registry blocks and components into compositions via `hyperframes add`. Authoring a new block or component to contribute upstream.
`/figma`	Import Figma assets, tokens, components, and storyboard sections → reconstructed motion (frames read as states, not slides) (REST/CLI) plus Motion animations (MCP) and shaders (MCP source / native export) into a composition.

Source of truth

The one-line “use when” for each skill comes from its own SKILL.md frontmatter description: field in the hyperframes repo. The same catalog lives in the README’s ## Skills section and the repo CLAUDE.md; all three surfaces are kept in sync when a skill is added or renamed.
