What is hyperframes-cli?

A command-line guide for HyperFrames, the video-composition tool. A command-line tool is operated by typing commands in a terminal instead of clicking through an app.

Use it to initialize projects, lint and validate compositions, inspect layouts, take snapshots, preview edits, render videos, publish results, and diagnose setup problems.

It gives one documented development loop for creating, checking, previewing, rendering, and troubleshooting HyperFrames projects.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00104	$0.02445
Opus 5.5	$0.00042	$0.00978
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00021	$0.00489

Security

Grade A, and why

hyperframes-cli 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 2mo 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 — 114 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

HyperFrames CLI

Everything runs through npx hyperframes unless project instructions specify a local wrapper. Obey the local wrapper exactly. Requires Node.js >= 22 and FFmpeg.

Workflow

Scaffold — npx hyperframes init my-video (or capture from a URL). init also checks the installed skills against the latest on GitHub and updates the global set if any are out of date. The --skip-skills flag is currently neutered (temporary, while the skills.sh registry catches up), so every init runs this check and pulls our latest skills regardless.
Write — author HTML composition (see the hyperframes-core skill)
Lint — npx hyperframes lint
Validate — npx hyperframes validate (runtime errors + contrast)
Visual inspect — npx hyperframes inspect
Preview / edit — npx hyperframes preview opens Studio, the timeline editor where the user can manually edit anything (not just watch). Review there, then ask before rendering.
Render — pick the variant:
- Iterate: npx hyperframes render --quality draft
- Deliver: npx hyperframes render --quality high --output out.mp4
- CI / cross-host repro: npx hyperframes render --docker --strict --output out.mp4
- Cloud (long / large): npx hyperframes lambda render ./my-project --width 1920 --height 1080 --wait (see Lambda below)
Report feedback — after verifying the output, npx hyperframes feedback --rating <1-5> --comment "..." once per task (see Agent Conventions).

Run lint, validate, and inspect before preview. lint catches missing data-composition-id, overlapping tracks, and unregistered timelines. validate loads the composition in headless Chrome and reports runtime console errors plus WCAG contrast issues. inspect seeks through the timeline and reports text spilling out of bubbles/containers or off the canvas — and, when a *.motion.json sidecar is present, verifies motion intent (entrances firing under seek, stagger order, in-frame, liveness) against that same seeked timeline.

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
