Summary
The Hyperframes Creative agent skill guides agents in applying structured non-animation creative direction to HyperFrames videos, ensuring consistent brand, style, pacing, narration, and visual composition. It specifically benefits developers and content creators seeking to produce visually coherent and on-brand video experiences with HyperFrames. This is a skill with 5K installs. It prioritizes existing design specifications like `frame.md` or `design.md` for core brand truth and directs agents to critical guidelines such as `references/house-style.md` and `references/video-composition.md` to ensure a "produced, not generated" aesthetic. The skill provides detailed routing for specific creative tasks including palette selection, typography, narration, composition patterns, beat planning, and audio-reactive visuals, further supported by utility scripts for creative tooling. It is important to note that this skill is intentionally non-animation, with guidance for motion patterns and scene blueprints found in the `hyperframes-animation` skill.
Skill Definition
Brand, pacing, style, narration, and composition direction. Use after the technical contract from hyperframes-core is in place.
For motion patterns, scene blueprints, transitions, and CSS marker effects, use hyperframes-animation — this skill is intentionally non-animation.
Read these two FIRST for any non-trivial composition — they override web instincts:
references/house-style.md— "interpret the prompt, generate real content," the lazy-default list, and the background/foreground layer recipe. This is what turns a literal restyle into a concept.references/video-composition.md— video-medium density, scale, foreground metadata (the "produced, not generated" detailing: data bars, registration marks, monospace readouts, 8-10 elements/scene).Skipping these is the single biggest cause of generic, web-page-looking output. They are not optional rows in the routing table below — for anything beyond a one-line edit, open both before you choose colors or write HTML.
Workflow
- If a project has a design spec, read it first and treat its frontmatter tokens as brand truth (colors, fonts, spacing, tone, constraints). Which file to read (precedence
frame.md→design.md→DESIGN.md) and how to parse it (frontmatter = normative, prose = context) are defined once inreferences/design-spec.md— resolve and load per that doc. - If no design spec exists and the user asks for visual direction, choose a route:
- Ready-made frame-preset (optional) →
frame-presets/(adopt aFRAME.mdasframe.md; seereferences/design-spec.md) - Named style or mood →
references/visual-styles.md - Fast defaults →
references/house-style.md - Interactive selection →
references/design-picker.md
- Ready-made frame-preset (optional) →
- For multi-scene work, plan beats and rhythm before writing HTML →
references/beat-direction.md. For scene transitions, jump tohyperframes-animation/transitions/. - For motion-heavy work, read
references/motion-principles.md(high-level guardrails), then go tohyperframes-animationfor atomic rules.
Routing
| Topic | Read |
|---|---|
Adopt a ready-made frame-preset as frame.md (optional) | frame-presets/ · references/design-spec.md |
| Default palettes, motion, typography, lazy defaults to question | references/house-style.md |
| Named style presets, mood-to-style routing | references/visual-styles.md |
| Palette-specific color tokens | palettes/*.md |
| Composition patterns — PiP, text-behind-subject, title card, slide show | references/composition-patterns.md |
| Stats / infographic presentation | references/data-in-motion.md |
| Structured expansion for open-ended prompts | references/prompt-expansion.md |
| Video-medium density, scale, color, frame composition | references/video-composition.md |
| Per-beat direction, rhythm planning, transition timing | references/beat-direction.md |
| Post-authoring spec verification (colors, type, corners, spacing, depth) | references/design-adherence.md |
| High-level motion guardrails and GSAP-quality rules | references/motion-principles.md |
| Font selection, pairings, rendered-video type guardrails | references/typography.md |
| Script pacing, tone, openings, number pronunciation | references/narration.md |
| Precomputed audio bands mapped to motion | references/audio-reactive.md |
Scripts
scripts/contrast-report.mjs— inspect contrast warnings from rendered frames.scripts/extract-audio-data.py— pre-extract audio bands for audio-reactive compositions.scripts/package-loader.mjs— support script for bundled creative tooling.
contrast-report.mjs resolves helper packages from the current project first, then can bootstrap the bundled HyperFrames package version. Set HYPERFRAMES_SKILL_PKG_VERSION=<version> only when running the skill outside the bundled CLI/skill install and you need to pin that bootstrap version explicitly.
Run from the repo root with explicit paths, for example:
python skills/hyperframes-creative/scripts/extract-audio-data.py <audio-file>
Animation analysis (animation-map.mjs) lives in hyperframes-animation/scripts/.
Boundaries
- Do not override
hyperframes-coretechnical rules. - Do not require a design system for a minimal technical composition.
- Do not add extra scenes, narration, music, captions, or transitions unless the request calls for them or you first propose the expansion.
- Keep recipe references task-specific; do not read every reference for simple edits.
