hyperframes-cli

HyperFrames CLI — Dev Loop

Everything runs through npx hyperframes. Requires Node.js >= 22 and FFmpeg.

Workflow

1. Scaffold — npx hyperframes init my-video
2. Write — author HTML composition (see the hyperframes skill)
3. Lint — npx hyperframes lint
4. Visual inspect — npx hyperframes inspect
5. Preview — npx hyperframes preview
6. Render — npx hyperframes render

Lint and inspect before preview. Render before delivery.

Scaffolding

npx hyperframes init my-video                        # interactive wizard
npx hyperframes init my-video --example warm-grain   # pick a template
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 --example blank --tailwind # with Tailwind v4
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).

Visual Inspect

npx hyperframes inspect                 # inspect layout over the timeline
npx hyperframes inspect ./my-project    # specific project
npx hyperframes inspect --json          # agent-readable findings
npx hyperframes inspect --samples 15    # denser timeline sweep
npx hyperframes inspect --at 1.5,4,7.25 # explicit hero-frame timestamps
