Contribute to HyperFrames Registry

Guide the user from idea to merged PR for a new registry block or component.

Workflow

1. Clarify → 2. Scaffold → 3. Build → 4. Validate → 5. Preview → 6. Ship

Step 1: Clarify

Ask what they're building. The registry has two item types:

• Block (registry/blocks/, type hyperframes:block) — a full standalone composition with fixed dimensions and duration. Caption styles, VFX effects, title cards, lower thirds.
• Component (registry/components/, type hyperframes:component) — a reusable snippet with no fixed dimensions or duration. CSS effects, text treatments, overlays that adapt to any composition size.

Then ask:

• One-sentence description of the effect
• Visual reference (URL, screenshot, or description)
• Who uses this and when?

Step 2: Scaffold

Create the registry structure:

For blocks:

registry/blocks/{block-name}/
  {block-name}.html
  registry-item.json

For components:

registry/components/{component-name}/
  {component-name}.html
  registry-item.json

Naming convention:

Item name	ID prefix	Example IDs
cap-hormozi	hz	hz-cg-0, hz-cw-3
cap-typewriter	tw	tw-cg-0, tw-ch-0-5
vfx-chrome	vc	vc-canvas

Use a 2-3 letter prefix. ALL element IDs must use this prefix to avoid collisions in sub-compositions.

registry-item.json for blocks:

{
  "$schema": "https://hyperframes.heygen.com/schema/registry-item.json",
  "name": "{block-name}",
  "type": "hyperframes:block",
  "title": "{Human Title}",
  "description": "{one sentence}",
  "dimensions": { "width": 1920, "height": 1080 }, // adjust: 1080x1920 for portrait/social
  "duration": 10, // adjust for your composition
  "tags": ["{category}", "{subcategory}"],
  "files": [
    {
      "path": "{block-name}.html",
      "target": "compositions/{block-name}.html",
      "type": "hyperframes:composition"
    }
  ]
}
