SC 01Overview

What it does

Starts from a request for a video built on a website URL, GitHub pull request, Figma file, text brief, existing footage or music track. A router skill runs a short intake that writes a brief, then hands off to a creation workflow such as product launch video, faceless explainer, music-to-video, embedded captions or talking-head overlays. The agent writes HTML with timing attributes and seekable animation, lints and previews it, and renders an MP4 with the HyperFrames CLI; companion skills cover animation, keyframes, audio mixing, media sourcing and a registry of reusable blocks. Video is built from code rather than generated by a video model, and it needs Node.js 22+ and FFmpeg.

SC 02Install

How to install it

  • 01From the README

    The install command quoted from the repository README.

    npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes
  • 02skills CLI, for Claude Code, Codex and others

    The open skills CLI from Vercel Labs installs a skill from a GitHub repo into the folder each agent expects. It asks which skills and which agents you want, and it installs for the current project unless you add the -g flag, which installs for your user account. Add --list to see what a repo contains before you install anything.

    npx skills add https://github.com/heygen-com/hyperframes/tree/main/skills
  • 03Claude Code, skills folder

    Copy the skill's folder, the one that holds SKILL.md, into ~/.claude/skills/ to use it in every project on your machine, or into .claude/skills/ in a repository to use it there and share it by committing it. Claude Code picks up changes to these folders during a session. If the folder did not exist when the session started, run /reload-skills.

  • 04Claude Code, plugin marketplace

    Some repos publish a plugin marketplace, a .claude-plugin/marketplace.json file. Add it in Claude Code, then install a plugin from it with /plugin install plugin-name@marketplace-name. Plugins can bundle hooks and MCP servers along with skills, so read the details panel before you confirm.

    /plugin marketplace add heygen-com/hyperframes
  • 05Codex, skills folder or $skill-installer

    Codex reads skills from .agents/skills in your working folder and its parent folders up to the repository root, and from $HOME/.agents/skills for every repository. Copy the skill's folder into one of them, or run $skill-installer inside Codex and ask it to install from the repo. Codex detects new skills automatically and needs a restart only if one does not appear.

The first command is quoted from the author's README. The others are the standard ways to install a skill from a GitHub repository. They are templates and may not apply here, for example if the repo has no plugin marketplace, so follow the README first.

SC 03Guide

How to get the most from it

Good for

  • Launch and feature videos built from a product website or a short brief
  • Faceless topic explainers and pull-request or changelog walkthroughs made of typography, diagrams, charts and animated code diffs
  • Captions or designed overlays added to existing talking-head footage without re-editing it
  • Beat-synced lyric or kinetic videos from a music track, and short motion graphics

Watch out for

  • The video is composed from code, not rendered by a video model: scenes are typography, graphics and footage you supply or source, so it is not a route to live-action-looking drama and not a scriptwriting tool.
  • Needs Node.js 22+ and FFmpeg. The media-use skill sources music, voice and images mainly through the HeyGen CLI (OAuth sign-in for the free allowance, API keys bill API credits), with optional local tools such as Kokoro for voice.
  • The installer picker opens with nothing selected and the Core Skills group is enough; a non-interactive install without --skill pulls all 21 skills.

Typical workflow

01Step
Install the Claude Code plugin or the core skills (npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes, then pick the Core Skills group) and check that Node.js 22+ and FFmpeg are available.
02Step
Ask for the video with /hyperframes (/hyperframes:hyperframes from the plugin) and give it the input: a URL, PR, Figma link, notes, footage or a music track.
03Step
Answer the intake questions; the agent writes BRIEF.md and installs the matching creation workflow.
04Step
The agent plans the scenes, writes the HTML composition and pulls music, voice or images through media-use.
05Step
Run lint and a browser preview, then adjust timing and look with follow-up requests.
06Step
Render to MP4 with the HyperFrames CLI, locally or on a supported cloud renderer.
