Write HTML. Render video. Built for agents.
Quickstart | Showcase | Playground | Catalog | Docs | Discord

HyperFrames is an open-source framework for turning HTML, CSS, media, and seekable animations into deterministic MP4 videos. Use it locally with the CLI, from AI coding agents with skills, or as the rendering core behind hosted authoring workflows.
Install the HyperFrames skills, then describe the video you want:
npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes
Try a prompt like:
Using
/hyperframes, create a 10-second product intro with a fade-in title, a background video, and subtle background music.
The skills teach agents the HyperFrames production loop: plan the video, write valid HTML, wire seekable animations, add media, lint, preview, and render. They work with Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Codex, and other coding agents that support skills.
HyperFrames ships 20 skills agents load on demand. Read /hyperframes first — it's the router and capability map; it picks a workflow for any "make me a video" request and points to the domain skills below.
Run npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes for the interactive picker, npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes --all to install all 20 at once (skips the picker), or npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes --skill <name> for just one (bare name, no leading /).
| Skill | Use when |
|---|---|
/hyperframes |
Read first for any request to make / create / edit / animate / render a video, animation, or motion graphic. Capability map for the domain skills and intent router for the creation workflows below. |
| Skill | Use when |
|---|---|
/product-launch-video |
Marketing / launching / promoting a product — from its URL, a brief, or a script (even if the site is only named). Up to ~3 min (sweet spot 30-90s). |
/website-to-video |
Turning a general website into a video — site tour, portfolio / landing-page showcase, social clip from the site's own visuals. |
/faceless-explainer |
Explaining a topic / concept from arbitrary text — no product, no URL, no website capture; every visual is LLM-invented (typography / abstract / diagram / data-viz). |
/pr-to-video |
A GitHub pull request (PR URL, owner/repo#N ref, or "this PR") → changelog / feature-reveal / fix / refactor explainer, read via the gh CLI. |
/embedded-captions |
Adding captions / subtitles to an existing talking-head video (footage untouched) — verbatim rail, embedded climax behind the subject, or pure-cinematic embed. |
/talking-head-recut |
Packaging an existing talking-head / interview / podcast video with designed graphic overlays — lower-thirds, data callouts, kinetic titles, pull-quotes, side panels, PiP. |
/motion-graphics |
A short, unnarrated, design-led motion graphic (~under 10s) — kinetic type, stat / chart hit, logo sting, lower-third, animated tweet / headline. MP4 or transparent overlay. |
/music-to-video |
A music track (audio file, or video to pull audio from) → a beat-synced video — lyric, slideshow, or kinetic promo; music drives pacing. |
/slideshow |
A presentation / pitch deck / interactive deck — discrete slides, fragment reveals, branching, hotspot navigation, presenter mode. Output is a navigable deck, not a rendered video. |
/general-video |
Anything else — longer or multi-scene pieces, brand / sizzle reel, title card, static loop, freeform composition. Input- and length-agnostic fallback. |
/remotion-to-hyperframes |
Porting an existing Remotion (React) composition's source to HyperFrames HTML. One-way migration, not creation. |
Atomic capabilities the creation workflows compose against — pull one when you need that specific layer.
| Skill | Covers |
|---|---|
/hyperframes-core |
The composition contract — data-* timing attributes, class="clip", tracks, sub-compositions, variables, framework-owned media playback, determinism rules. |
/hyperframes-animation |
All animation knowledge — atomic motion rules, scene blueprints, transitions, runtime adapters (GSAP / Lottie / Three.js / Anime.js / CSS / WAAPI / TypeGPU). |
/hyperframes-keyframes |
Seek-safe keyframe authoring across runtimes — GSAP timelines, CSS keyframes, Anime.js, WAAPI, FLIP, paths, masks, SVG morph/draw, 3D depth — plus hyperframes keyframes diagnostics for rendered motion. |
/hyperframes-creative |
Non-animation creative direction — frame.md / design.md, palettes, typography, narration, beat planning, audio-reactive visuals, composition patterns. |
/hyperframes-media |
Audio + media — TTS voiceover, background music, sound effects, Whisper transcription, background removal, caption authoring (one shared audio engine). |
/media-use |
Resolve any media need (BGM, SFX, image, icon) into a frozen local file + ledger record. One verb (resolve) over the HeyGen catalog with manifest tracking. |
/hyperframes-cli |
CLI dev loop — init, lint, validate, inspect, preview, render, publish, doctor, plus AWS Lambda cloud rendering (lambda deploy / render / progress). |
/hyperframes-registry |
Install and wire registry blocks and components into compositions via hyperframes add. Authoring a new block or component to contribute upstream. |
For visual design handoff workflows, see the Claude Design guide and Open Design guide.

frame.md — your design system, ready for video.
Every brand has a design.md. None of them were written for a camera. frame.md is the missing translation layer: it takes your web-context design spec and inverts it for the frame — the same tokens, the same rules, but rewritten so an AI agent can compose a promo video without guessing at scale or reaching for web chrome.
The output is a DESIGN.md superset your whole toolchain can read. Atoms stay sacred. Composition stays free. Numbers come from the script.
