hyperframes: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/captions-overlay/SKILL.md

captions-overlay is a skill for Claude Code from heygen-com/hyperframes. It costs 139 tokens per session (1,205 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of rules for placing captions, or on-screen subtitles, over talking-head and launch videos. It treats captions as a layer on top of the full image and sorts spoken words into hidden filler, regular subtitle text, or occasional text integrated into the scene.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding captions or subtitles to spoken video. It helps decide which words to show, where to place them, and when a caption can sit behind or alongside the subject.
Why use it?
It avoids shrinking or shifting the composition just to make room for subtitles. It also gives ordinary speech and emphasis different visual treatments.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is heygen-com/hyperframes's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on hyperframes itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything hyperframes configures →

Part of the hyperframes plugin — 22 skills, 1 hook shipped together

About the project

HyperFrames is an open-source framework that turns HTML, CSS, media, and timed animations into deterministic MP4 videos. It is used locally, by coding agents, and in hosted authoring workflows to create rendered videos from web-based designs. Its catalogue add-ons provide skills, agents, instructions, hooks, settings, and a plugin for agent-driven video production.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

captions-overlay scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 17d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 81 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Captions Overlay Doctrine

Overlay doctrine — supplements the upstream /hyperframes skill's references/captions.md. Applies ON TOP of it; do not expect it folded into the upstream skill.

Two ideas combine here. First, the caption model — every spoken phrase is drop, rail, or embed, and embed is the scarce earned peak, not the default. Second, the overlay law — a caption line is composited ON TOP of the film as an overlay; it is NOT a reserved zone, so you never shift content up or leave a dead band to "make room" for it. The two reinforce each other: because captions ride as an overlay (the verbatim rail in front, the occasional embed behind the subject), the composition keeps its full frame and centers on the true vertical center.

The caption model — drop / rail / embed

Every spoken phrase is one of three things:

What How it's shown
drop filler — um/uh, stutters, self-corrections not shown
rail the default — ordinary spoken content (verbatim) clean lower-third subtitle, in front, readable. A punch word can get an inline emphasis highlight (accent colour / active-word pop) — it stays on the rail.
embed a promoted peak — the headline beat one big word composited behind the subject (matte occlusion), designed entrance + exit

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
