Hyperframes

Open-source video rendering framework: write HTML, render video.

Skills

This repo ships 21 AI agent skills via vercel-labs/skills. Install them before writing compositions — they encode framework-specific patterns that generic docs don't cover. Default to the core set: the /hyperframes router installs each creation workflow on demand; install all 21 only when the user explicitly asks for the full set.

npx hyperframes skills update                         # default: installs/refreshes the core set — workflows install on demand
npx hyperframes skills                                # all 21 published skills at once — only on explicit request
npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes                 # interactive picker; internal skills require INSTALL_INTERNAL_SKILLS=1 for discovery
npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes --all           # excludes internal skills unless INSTALL_INTERNAL_SKILLS=1
npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes --skill <name>  # a named match installs regardless of metadata.internal (bare name, no leading slash)

Warning: Never run npx skills add ... --all from inside a HyperFrames checkout: it selects the OpenClaw target, whose skills/ directory is the repo's own skills/, and removes each existing skills/<name> destination before linking. A fresh clone restores tracked source, but uncommitted work under skills/ does not recover. Run it from an empty directory or from your own project root. This happens regardless of metadata.internal.

skills add resolves the skills.sh registry blob, which can lag main by hours, so a freshly added skill may be a little behind. npx hyperframes skills update installs from the current main; prefer it when freshness matters.

/hyperframes is the entry skill — read it first. It's the capability map for the domain skills below, the intent layer that confirms every creation brief up front, AND the intent router for the creation workflows. The full README skills section mirrors this list; keep them in sync (see "Skill catalog maintenance" below).
