hyperframes-creative

Non-animation creative direction for HyperFrames videos. Use for design spec (frame.md / design.md) handling, palettes, typography, narration, beat planning, audio-reactive visuals, composition patterns, and brand / style decisions. For atomic motion patterns and scene blueprints, use `hyperframes-animation`.

name: hyperframes-creative description: Non-animation creative direction for HyperFrames videos. Use for design spec (frame.md / design.md) handling, palettes, typography, narration, beat planning, audio-reactive visuals, composition patterns, and brand / style decisions. For atomic motion patterns and scene blueprints, use hyperframes-animation.

HyperFrames Creative

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 scale, depth, and foreground detail. It explains how to avoid empty web-page layouts without imposing a universal element count.

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

  1. 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.mddesign.mdDESIGN.md) and how to parse it (frontmatter = normative, prose = context) are defined once in references/design-spec.md — resolve and load per that doc.
  2. If no design spec exists and the user asks for visual direction, choose a route:
    • Ready-made frame-preset (optional) → frame-presets/ (adopt a FRAME.md as frame.md; see references/design-spec.md)
    • Named style or mood → references/visual-styles.md
    • Fast defaults → references/house-style.md
    • Interactive selection → references/design-picker.md
  3. For multi-scene work, plan beats and rhythm before writing HTML → references/beat-direction.md. For scene transitions, jump to hyperframes-animation/transitions/.
  4. For motion-heavy work, read references/motion-principles.md (high-level guardrails), then go to hyperframes-animation for atomic rules.

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-core technical 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.
